Nancy Pelosi’s recent visit to Taipei sparks further tensions on the high seas

China and Taiwan are playing a military game of cat and mouse as tensions on the high seas remain high.

It follows U.S. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi meeting with her Taiwanese counterparts in Taipei last week.

This visit infuriated China, as the nation regards the self-ruled island as its own territory.

Beijing has since responded by test launching ballistic missiles over Taiwan’s capital for the first time in history.

China and Taiwan each launched 10 warships in the Taiwan Strait, with some Chinese vessels crossing the unofficial buffer separating the two sides.

Speaking at a conference in Bangladesh, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi says his country’s actions are legitimate and reasonable, aimed at protecting China’s sacred sovereignty.

“It must be borne in mind that Taiwan is not a part of the United States – it is China’s territory”

Meanwhile, in the United States, former President Donald Trump called out Pelosi’s visit.

“What was she doing? She fails. The women brings chaos,” Trump said at a conservative conference in Dallas, Texas.

Former President Donald Trump pauses during the final remarks during Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas on Saturday, Aug. 6, 2022.

Trump continued, adding “[Pelosi] played right into [China’s] hands, because now they have an excuse to do whatever they’re doing”.

Trump was the star contributor at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday evening.

In Short:
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.
U.S. President Donald Trump has given Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan for Gaza, warning of severe consequences if they reject it.The plan, shared by mediators Qatar and Egypt, emerged after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed it during a visit to the White House. Hamas, which was not part of the talks, is expected to review the proposal that calls for disarmament, a previously rejected demand.

Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.

A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.

The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.

Pressure Mounts

Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.

Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
