As Japan, Canada, and Germany all announced delegations would soon visit Taiwan, the societies and officials in the United States and Taiwan criticized China’s continuously provocative behavior.

Another military exercise was conducted after a U.S. congressional delegation led by Senator Edward Markey (D-Mass.) visited Taiwan after Pelosi left.
