US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Safely Arrives in Taiwan, will Visit Tsai Ing-wen
On August 2, 2022, United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived on a US military aircraft in #Taiwan at 10:45pm, landing at Songshan Airport in Taipei.
According to Taiwanese media reports, Pelosi's visit amounts to an official visit from the United States. Her itinerary includes visiting the Legislative Yuan (Taiwan's legislature), a press conference where she is expected to give an major speech, as well as a meeting and state lunch with Taiwanese president Tsai Ing-wen.
Though Pelosi originally planned to leave Taiwan at 3pm the next day, she had added one more stop before leaving: a meeting with Causeway Bay Bookstore's Lam Wing-kee, Chinese pro-democracy activist Wu'er Kaixi, and Taiwanese NGO worker Lee Ming-che, who had been arrested and jailed in China for five years.
Pelosi stayed in Grand Hyatt Taipei, just across the street from Taipei 101. LED displays on the Taipei landmark showed welcome messages for Pelosi on the night of her arrival: "Thank you, dear friend in democracy, for your steadfast support of Taiwan", "US-Taiwan friendship forever". Supporters also held up signs outside the hotel welcoming her to Taiwan, though some people showed up to protest against her visit.
