“Taiwan is an inspiration to all freedom-loving people,” said Pelosi on Tuesday.
“The world faces a choice between democracy and autocracy.
“America's decision to preserve democracy here in Taiwan remains iron-clad."

It’s about rattling a cage. It’s also about solidarity… China regards Taiwan as a breakaway region that will one day be part of it again. Taiwan doesn’t see itself like that, and has been making a go at it as an independent nation...
Adam Gilchrist, international correspondent
She is, of course, playing with fire… Beijing says, ‘those who play with fire will perish by it’. They’ve announced big military exercises in the waters around Taiwan… Chinese warplanes are buzzing around the Taiwan Strait, as a result of Pelosi… It’s a little sparky, isn’t it?
