Ipinakita lamang ang intensity ng matagal nang hidwaan ng China at Taiwan ang ginawang pagbisita kamakailan ni US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sa Taiwan.
Sa courtesy call ni US Secretary of State Antony Blinken kay Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. sa Palasyo ng Malakanyang, sinabi ng punong ehekutibo na hindi siya naniniwala na lalong tumindi ang tensyon sa pagitan ng China at Taiwan.
“As we know this week, we had very many issues. The last few days have put in the fore some of them. The visit of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, coming here, really just…I do not think, to be perfectly candid, I did not think it raised the intensity, it just demonstrated it — how the intensity of that conflict has been. It actually has been at that level for a good while, but we got used to it and put it aside,” pahayag ng Pangulo.
“But nonetheless, this just demonstrates how volatile the international diplomatic scene is not only in the region. Obviously, the events in Ukraine have been of significance, significant importance to surprisingly even countries like the Philippines which if we imagine is very far away,” pahayag ng Pangulo.
