Chinese President Xi Jinping warned Biden on Taiwan, 'Those who play with fire will perish by it'
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is expected to depart for Asia on Friday, beginning a diplomatic trip with the potential of upsetting the Chinese Communist Party.
Pelosi is scheduled to visit several allied Asian countries during her multi-day tour of the continent.
One possible destination with major ramifications is Taiwan — officially known as the Republic of China. The island has been expecting a visit from Pelosi, but recent threats from the People's Republic of China have drawn global attention to the potential visit.
At a Capitol Hill press conference on Friday, Pelosi declined to clarify her plans for the trip, citing security issues.
"Well, I don't ever talk about my travel, because as some of you know, it's a security issue," the speaker said. "It's a security issue for every member of Congress traveling — especially abroad. But for the speaker, it is an additional security issue, and for those traveling with me, not just members, but staff, et cetera."
