Summary

The western Pacific has had its share of the international spotlight. In August 2022, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan. China launched the military exercises around Taiwan to express its dissatisfaction. A war across the Taiwan Strait was on the verge. To ease the tension, President Joe Biden had a meeting with Xi Jinping during the G20 Bali Summit in November. While both sides reached nothing, the United States took advantage of this occasion to demonstrate its determination of maintaining the status quo in the Taiwan Strait again. It is because, in addition to chip production and democratic values, Taiwan occupies the position of geostrategic value.
