Taiwan: China's stand has become tough after the news of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan on Tuesday night. According to news outlets, US and Taiwanese officials and officials in both countries, the Democrats could reach Taipei on Tuesday evening. On Tuesday morning, China issued a fresh warning to the US, saying it would hold the US responsible for any developments that threaten its sovereignty. On behalf of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Hua Chunying said, "What I can assure you is that America will be held accountable and will pay the price for harming China's sovereignty and security interests."

Beijing has retaliated, according to Global Times editor Hu Zijin, who previously threatened to shoot down Pelosi's plane if it violated Taiwan's airspace using the PLAAF. According to Zijin, who was quoting individuals he knew, "Beijing has prepared a number of countermeasures, including military actions."

According to the Global Times, military exercises will be held in the Bohai Sea and Guangdong province from Tuesday to Saturday. The Fujian Provincial Military Command on Tuesday released video of a live-fire exercise, also conducted by the PLA last week. According to him, the purpose of the war exercise was to evaluate the "overall combat capability in complex conditions".

The PLA is also said to have relocated the aircraft carriers Liaoning and Shandong in response to the US relocating its warplanes and carriers.

According to Taiwanese media (ADIZ), four PLAAF jets reportedly entered Taiwan's air defense detection zone. Tuesday morning saw the entry of four Shenyang J-16 fighter jets from the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) into the southwest ADIZ.

In retaliation, Taiwan sent an aircraft, broadcast radio alerts, and installed an air defense missile system to follow the PLAAF jets.

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will meet with Taiwanese politicians on Wednesday morning, according to Kuomintang (KMT) legislative caucus whip William Tseng.

According to news source Apple Daily, Pelosi's flight will land at Songshan Airport on Tuesday evening, and she will likely spend the night at the Grand Hyatt in Taipei City's Jini district.

According to the news agency, before the delegation meeting on Wednesday morning, Pelosi will meet with the US House Speaker. After the meeting, Pelosi and her delegation will leave for South Korea.

She met with the foreign minister and the Malaysian prime minister in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday morning, before leaving in an SUV surrounded by a convoy.
