Taiwan is considered as US\u2019s strongest partner in the Indo-Pacific. These regular high-level visits to Taipei are long-standing U.S. policy according to Blackburn\u2019s statement. She also did not pay any heed to China\u2019s potential threat and said that she will not be bullied by \u2018Communist China\u2019. She has also, earlier, voiced support for the trip by Pelosi. Marsha Blackburn visits Taiwan after visiting Fiji, the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea. This is a part of the US\u2019s push to \u2018expand diplomatic footprint in the area\u2019 according to her official statement. She also mentioned that the United States remains steadfast ally to Taiwan in preserving freedom. The US will not will not tolerate efforts to undermine the nation and its allies, according to Blackburn.<\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_153274\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-153274\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-153274 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Marsha-Blackburn-Taiwan-Trip.jpg\" alt=\"Senator Marsha Blackburn visits Taiwan\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Marsha-Blackburn-Taiwan-Trip.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Marsha-Blackburn-Taiwan-Trip-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Marsha-Blackburn-Taiwan-Trip-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Marsha-Blackburn-Taiwan-Trip-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Marsha-Blackburn-Taiwan-Trip-450x225.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-153274\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Senator Marsha Blackburn and Taiwan President Tsai Ing-Wen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<p><br \/>During her three-day visit, to Taiwan, Blackburn met with the head of Taiwan\u2019s National Security Council. She has pointed out that these visits and discussions with Taiwan\u2019s leaders is because according to her China cannot be allowed to write the world\u2019s foreign policy. Blackburn has extended her full support towards Taiwan\u2019s democracy through continuation of help and support from the US.<\/p>\r\n<h2>China\u2019s discontent<\/h2>\r\n<p>Beijing has always demanded that countries seeking relations with China must sever all formal ties from Taiwan. But, the U.S. has continued to tether informal ties with the island government although officially recognising \u2018One China\u2019. The tensions had escalated between China and US after the high profile visit of Nancy Pelosi which triggered Chinese warships and military exercise across Taiwan Strait. Chinese government has expressed open discontent and halted crucial bilateral talks with the US. <br \/>With the present visit as well Chinese government has expressed it severe discontent through the spokesman for China&#8217;s Embassy in Washington Liu Pengyu. According to Liu, China has \u2018vowed\u2019 that it would take unspecified &#8220;resolute countermeasures&#8221; in response to these U.S. &#8220;provocations.&#8221; Liu also added that the relevant visit once again showed that the U.S. does not prioritise peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. It has spared no effort to stir up confrontation between the two sides by interfering in China&#8217;s \u2018internal affairs\u2019.<\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_153275\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-153275\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-153275 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1200x800-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1200x800-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1200x800-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1200x800-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.caravanalive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1200x800-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-153275\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Liu Pengyu, spokesman for China&#8217;s Embassy in Washington<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<h2><br \/>Taiwan\u2019s outlook and Counter-measures<\/h2>\r\n<p>Taiwan President Tsai has pointed out that China\u2019s large-scale military exercise in response to Pelosi\u2019s visit is a challenges to the concept of democracy. These developments, according to her, shows how authoritarian countries are disrupting and threatening the world order. President Tsai along with Blackburn underscored the importance of economic tie-ups. The executive branch of Taiwan\u2019s government laid out plans for a 12.9% increase in the Defense Ministry\u2019s annual budget. The government is planning to spend an additional 47.5 billion New Taiwan dollars (NTD) ( US $1.6 billion), for a total of 415.1billion NTD ($13.8 billion) for the year.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Defense Ministry of Taiwan said that the increase is due to the continuous Chinese expansion of targeted military activities in recent years. Taiwan accused China of the normalization of their harassment of Taiwan\u2019s nearby waters and airspace with warships and war planes. Also the Defense Ministry said it tracked four Chinese naval ships and 15 warplanes in the region surrounding the island.<\/p>\r\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US Senator Marsha Blackburn&#8217;s Taiwan visit has heightened Sino-US bi-lateral tensions.
