Kremlin Expresses "Solidarity" With China, Calls Pelosi Taiwan Visit A "Provocation" On Friday the Kremlin issued a statement expressing "solidarity" with China amid soaring tensions with the US over Taiwan, especially at a moment Nancy Pelosi is ready to become the first US House Speaker to visit the democratic-run island in 25 years. Coming just after Presidents Biden and Xi Jinping spoke by phone Thursday, wherein the Chinese leader warned the US not to "play with fire" over the self-ruled island, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said to reporters, "Certainly we are in solidarity" with China. "We respect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity and believe that no country in the world should have the right to question this or take any inflammatory or other steps," Peskov asserted. "We are convinced that such behavior on the international arena can only cause additional tension," he added in reference to the potential Pelosi trip next week, and US policy toward the island in general.
