Taipei. The whole world is still troubled by the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. In this intense situation the tension between China and Taiwan has increased.

According to Taipei officials, 21 Chinese fighter jets entered Taiwan's air defense area amid an ongoing visit by US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi. It is also reported that more than 20 Chinese military aircraft flew over Taiwan's air defense area on Tuesday. It is worth noting that US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has started her visit on the island of Taiwan, which Beijing considers its territory.

The island's defense ministry said in a statement on Twitter that "21 PLA (China People's Liberation Army) aircraft entered the ADIZ southwest of Taiwan on August 2, 2022. The ADIZ is not the same as Taiwan's territorial airspace." But it covers a large area that overlaps with part of China's own air defense identification area.

US Speaker Pelosi reached Taiwan on Tuesday evening, bypassing warnings and threats from China. This move of America has further increased the tension between the two superpowers of the world. Nancy Pelosi is the high-profile US official to have traveled to Taiwan in the past 25 years. Beijing has also made it clear that China sees their presence in Taiwan as a major provocation, pushing the region to the brink of war.

A US military plane carrying the 82-year-old lawmaker arrived at Taipei's Songshan Airport where Taipei's Foreign Minister Joseph Wu welcomed Pelosi upon her arrival in Taiwan. "Our delegation's visit to Taiwan reaffirms America's unwavering commitment to supporting Taiwan's vibrant democracy," Pelosi, who arrived in Taiwan, said in her statement, adding that her visit was "in no way an American commitment to Taiwan and Beijing." is not contrary to policy". Taiwan, on the other hand, said in a statement that Washington has demonstrated "rock solid" support through Pelosi's visit.

Pelosi is currently on a tour of Asia and neither she nor her office has confirmed his visit to Taipei. According to several American and Taiwanese media outlets, Pelosi's visit was completely pre-planned. During Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, the Chinese military said it was on "high alert" and would "launch a series of targeted military actions" in response to Pelosi's visit. The Chinese military has immediately announced the start of a series of military exercises in the sea waters around the island of Taiwan from Wednesday. This military exercise also includes "long range ammunition firing" in the Taiwan Strait. Beijing's foreign ministry issued a statement saying, "Those who play with fire will be destroy by that fire."
