The Taiwanese American community in Houston was all smiles when speaking about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the Island.
Most people said it’s a symbol of persevering democracy, despite harsh words from China and false claims the two nations are one.
Fang is speaking about Nancy Pelosi’s current visit to Taiwan, a small country she says stands tall for peace and democracy. Amid an ongoing civil war where the communist party gained control of China’s mainland in 1949 and opposing forces retreated to what’s now known as Taiwan and continued governing the island, China claims Taiwan as part of its nation even though they’ve operated as two separate entities for more than 70 years.“Everybody is moving forward, peacefully. Taiwanese people and the Taiwanese government has been a peacemaker,” Fang said.
At the University of St Thomas, Political Science Professor Dr. Yao-Yuan Yeh said a war between the two nuclear powers is unlikely.
