U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s unannounced arrival in the Taiwan region this week drew sharp criticism – and not just from diplomats. Residents took to the streets of New Taipei City to protest what many called a “troublemaking” visit. 🌆🗣️
Amid heightened geopolitical tensions, demonstrators waved banners reading \"We Want Peace, Not Drama!\" and chanted slogans criticizing the move as reckless. One protester told CGTN: \"This visit only brings us problems. We’re caught in the middle of a power game.\" 😤
While Pelosi’s trip was framed as a show of support, many locals argued it risks destabilizing cross-strait relations. 🔥🇨🇳 \"We need dialogue, not provocation,\" another resident emphasized, reflecting concerns over escalating U.S.-China friction.
As military drills ripple across the Taiwan Strait, the incident highlights how global politics hits home – literally. Stay tuned for more updates. 📲💥
