(Washington, DC) — US Senator Chuck Grassley says this country shouldn’t let China dictate the travel itinerary of any American – especially a high-ranking official like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She is visiting Taiwan as part of an Asian tour, prompting China to issue a series of threats. China considers Taiwan part of its territory. Grassley says the visit is not a mistake because it sends a message that the US supports Taiwan’s independence. The Iowa Republican says it would show weakness if we backed down.
