New Zealand Herald: ‘Ugly American’: Nancy Pelosi Taiwan visit sparks pro-China protests, quoted California Superior Court Judge Julie Tang 新西蘭先驅報：“醜陋的美國人”：南希佩洛西訪台引發親中抗議
“Taiwan is not a playground for US politicians,” Lyle Goldstein, director of Defense Priorities of Asia Engagement, told Bloomberg on Wednesday. “It is no exaggeration to say the future of humanity may depend on a pragmatic US-China relationship — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan needlessly jeopardises regional stability.”
In Taiwan, hundreds of civilians gathered in different locations to either welcome or protest Ms Pelosi’s arrival, The Guardian reported, with independence groups outside the airport holding signs saying “I love Pelosi” and “shut up China”.
But according to the newspaper, the largest crowd gathered outside the Grand Hyatt, where she was due to stay, with protesters holding signs calling the Democrat a warmonger and chanting “Yankee go home”.
Photos showed pro-CCP protesters holding signs saying “ugly American”, “toruble [sic] maker Nancy Pelosi” and “American witch get out of Taiwan, China”.
Julie Tang, a retired San Fransisco Supreme Court judge and longtime supporter of Ms Pelosi, told the San Francisco Standard she was “disappointed” about the trip.
“We have donated to her, we’ve supported her throughout these years, but we are so disappointed that what she’s doing is totally against the welfare and the wellbeing of the community – in particular Chinese Americans,” Ms Tang said.
“She does not listen to us. She’s going with the flow, going with pushing US hegemony to contain China. For what? We don’t get anything out of it.”
