The diplomatic mission said that they regard the US actions as interference in the affairs of China. Blackburn, who represents the Tennessee State Senate and is on the Arms and Trade Committee, arrived in Taipei for a three-day visit.
The Chinese Ministry of Defense blamed the United States for the current crisis around Taiwan. This is the fourth visit of the American delegation to the island in a month. The trip of the speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, caused the greatest outcry and protest from Beijing. The Chinese authorities pointed out the inadmissibility of unauthorized visits to the island, which Beijing considers its territory, but the White House, having formally assured the PRC of the immutability of the «one China» policy, escalated, allowing Pelosi to travel. In response, China conducted large-scale exercises in the region, restrictive economic measures were introduced against the island, and Beijing also imposed sanctions on the Speaker of the House of Representatives. jpg» />Former U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo Plans Trip to Taiwan, Media Writes
