US Congress Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Asian countries has begun, SIA cites foreign mass media sources.
China fired its most direct warning shot yet amid reports that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may visit Taiwan on Friday, saying that if the speaker's plane is accompanied by U.S. fighter jets "Ronald Reagan", they would not rule out shooting them down.
In addition, "Chiayi Air Base" fighters took off on the island of Taiwan. Taiwan has deployed an Air Defense System at Taoyuan International Airport.
Within the framework of military exercises, China closed the Taiwan Strait and deployed the "PHL-16" rocket launcher system, which can hit a target up to 220 km away, in the Fujian province, located 120 km from the island of Taiwan.
The speaker has not confirmed whether she will visit the island democracy during an Asian tour that includes stops in Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore. In response to a question about the potential Taiwan trip on Friday, Pelosi only said: "I don't talk about my travel because it's a security issue."
