Pelosi vows not to let Beijing isolate Taiwan in parting remarks capping her Asia tour

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vowed Friday not to let China isolate Taiwan in her parting remarks from Tokyo, the last stop on her Asian tour that set off a diplomatic crisis after her brief stop in Taipei.

Mrs. Pelosi, who is leading a delegation of six Democratic lawmakers, spoke from the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo where she met with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Hiroyuki Hosoda, the speaker of its House of Representatives.

“The Chinese have tried to isolate Taiwan,” she said.
