Nancy Pelosi

Preaching and pressuring has failed to move the needle. An era of resurgent authoritarianism calls for a new approach.

After a period of dormancy, the U.S. House Speaker's controversial visit has breathed new life into the regional pro-democracy coalition.

For a second time, North Korea criticized Pelosi’s visit to the Asia-Pacific region, defining her as “the worst destroyer of international peace and stability.”

The U.S. House speaker and Japanese Prime Minister Kishida both denounced China’s ongoing military drills near Taiwan, underscoring Japan's security concerns.

Why did Pelosi go to Taiwan? Because Congress’ stance is particularly important for ensuring U.S. deterrence.

Pelosi met her South Korean counterpart on Thursday, but could not meet South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol because of his summer vacation in Seoul. 

The planned trip – and China's potential reaction – has been the headlines for weeks. Now that it's over, where do things stand?

The U.S. House speaker’s long-reported trip to Taiwan has begun. In response, China announced upcoming military drills surrounding the island.

China's government fears looking weak if the visit happens; the Biden administration fears looking weak if it doesn't.

The House speaker is reportedly planning a trip to Taiwan in August. China had promised to take “strong measures” in response.

After a series of statements from Congress members supporting the protesters, China's Foreign Ministry claps back.
