“We have a consistent policy towards the situation in Taiwan, and Egypt always with China being one country, because this is in the interest of stability and security in the world. In fact, we do not need more crises than that affect us all.”
China fired missiles, on Thursday, and flew its fighters over Taiwan for the first time, as part of its response to Pelosi’s visit to the self-ruled island that Beijing considers part of its territory.
