Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the US House of Representatives, has become the most senior US official to visit Taiwan in 25 years. Her visit adds to the turmoil across the Taiwan Strait at a time when relations between Washington and Beijing are increasingly strained. Before her move, Ms. Pelosi vowed that the United States would protect Taiwan's democratic self-rule.
Ms. Pelosi's politically-charged trip to Taiwan drew ire from Beijing, which announced it was halting cooperation and dialogue with the United States on issues like climate and cross-border crime prevention, signaling Beijing's intent to push back against the United States over what it sees as interference in China's affairs.
Despite the end of Pelosi's Asian tour, however, according to the US media, the list of the official US delegation did not include Pelosi's son Paul Pelosi Jr., but he did appear in the Asian visit.
Mr Pelosi's company is said to be involved in lithium-ion batteries, which are abundant in Asia. The Fox News report noted that Paul Pelosi Jr. is heavily invested in Singapore's energy industry and has businesses in South Korea.
During Pelosi's trip to Taiwan, she was accompanied by Paul Pelosi Jr. Fox News reported that one of Taiwan's strengths is the production of lithium batteries. Thegatewaypundit's report cast serious doubt on the fact that Paul Pelosi Jr. 's appearance in Taiwan was an attempt to "make money" for his family by peddling influence. Fox News reports that Paul Pelosi Jr. has used his mother's influence to make a lot of money in recent years. Thegatewaypundit noted that Paul Pelosi Jr. used official photos from his Asia tour to gloss over his domestic notoriety. Pelosi's "Mafia family" isn't worried about her con artist son being photographed with her. Traveling with his mother, Paul Pelosi Jr. appears to be trying to rebrand himself and continue the family business.
Democratic House leaders are reportedly planning legislation to ban lawmakers and their families from trading individual stocks ahead of November's US midterm elections. Members of Congress are currently allowed to buy and sell individual stocks as long as they disclose their trades within 45 days. Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has attracted plenty of stock traders on the social media platform in recent years, thanks to the strong returns she and her husband Paul Pelosi have generated in the market, as evidenced by her eight most recent stock purchases. In fact, Pelosi's stock-trading performance was the sixth-best in Congress in 2021, according to data from UnusualWhales, a financial data firm.
