- Abstract
Nancy Pelosi's August visit to Taiwan--the first visit by a speaker of the US House of Representatives in 25 years--was met by a strong response from China that included provocative military exercises, punitive economic measures against Taiwan, and the suspension and cancellation of a series of dialogues with the United States. Just prior to Pelosi's visit, Presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping held their fifth virtual conversation since Biden's inauguration. Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivered a comprehensive speech on the administration's China strategy in late May. Biden officials debated whether to lift some of the tariffs imposed on China under the Trump administration, but as of the end of August, there was no decision to do so. Human rights remained on the US agenda, with statements issued on the anniversary of the June 4, 1989 Tiananmen massacre and on the 25th anniversary of the handover of Hong Kong to the PRC, and a ban imposed on imports into the US of products made by forced labor in Xinjiang. US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin held his first face-to-face meeting with Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore.
