Rising Tensions over Taiwan

The US House speaker Nancy Pelosi paid controversial visit to Taiwan despite warnings from China. Beijing began series of military drills around Taiwan in response to the visit, saying they are aimed at protecting China'’s territorial integrity.

Taipei says Chinese military drills breach Taiwan’s waters, ports, urban areas and endanger international order. Blaming the US for escalating the tensions, China hit Taiwan with fresh trade curbs.

Press TV interviews Oh Ei Sun, principal advisor for Pacific Research Center of Malaysia from Sabah and Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector from Bethlehem, New York to look at latest developments, motives behind and consequences of Pelosi’'s visit to Taiwan despite stern warnings by China.
