Pelosi, Speaker of the US House of Representatives, suddenly became number one on the international agenda with her visit to Taiwan. Pelosi, who is third in the US Presidential Succession Line after President and Vice President, entered politics at the age of 47 after her 5 children reached College Age.

* Pelosi won the election for a fallen Democratic parliamentary seat in 1987 and has since represented the San Francisco area in Congress.

* The 82-year-old politician, who comes from an Italian-American family, is the Speaker of the House of Representatives for three terms and is also known for his tough stance towards China.

* During his visit to China in 1991, he bypassed the hosts and went to Tiananmen Square and unfurled a banner that read “In memory of those who died for democracy”. In the spring of 1989 in China, the pro-democracy demonstrators gathered in Tiananmen Square in the capital Beijing were suppressed by military intervention, and thousands of people died.

* In the following years, Pelosi’s activities accusing the Chinese government of human rights violations continued.

NEW YORK TIMES WRITTEN: TAIWAN, UKRAINE?

The recent crisis with Taiwan, which China claims, brought to mind the Russia-Ukraine relationship. Although Taiwan and Ukraine problems are similar, there are also differences. According to an analysis in the American New York Times, US officials are following China’s Ukraine closely and making plans and preparations for possible scenarios in Taiwan. Accordingly, Russia and China both claim land. Russia has launched a ground operation, China needs to conduct sea and air operations.

TECHNOLOGY FACTOR

It is predicted that a possible Taiwan war may turn into a medium-term armed conflict like Ukraine. In addition, comments are made that the crisis may hit the world technologically this time, as Taiwan is a microchip manufacturer. While the Putin administration in Russia historically saw Ukraine as a part of the old Russian civilization, Taiwan’s current status stems from the withdrawal of its rivals to the island Taiwan in 1949, when the communists came to power in China. The members of the Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintag) led by Chiang Kaishek, who were defeated by the communist leader Mao Zedong, settled in Taiwan and declared independence by stating that the “Republic of China” power established in 1912 would continue on the island. China, on the other hand, does not recognize Taiwan’s unilateral decision.
