2022 visit by Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan

American politician Nancy Pelosi, while serving as the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, visited Taiwan on August 2, 2022. A delegation of five Democratic Party members of the House of Representatives accompanied Pelosi on the visit. The two-day trip to Taiwan was part of a tour of Asia that also included stops in Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, and Japan. President Joe Biden discouraged but did not prevent Pelosi from going; the White House later affirmed her right to visit the island.

Taiwanese foreign minister Joseph Wu received Pelosi and her delegation. Shortly after her arrival, Pelosi said that her visit was a sign of the United States' "unwavering commitment to supporting Taiwan's vibrant democracy." Pelosi's trip included a visit to the Legislative Yuan and a meeting with President Tsai Ing-wen before her departure for South Korea.

The visit was condemned by the Chinese government, which sent warnings through diplomatic channels to the U.S. government. After Pelosi's departure, China commenced large-scale military exercises encircling Taiwan, which ran for a week from August 4 to 11, 2022, initiating the Fourth Taiwan Strait Crisis. Additional "regular" exercises were announced to run in the Yellow and Bohai Sea until August 15 and September 8 respectively, but ended early on August 10.
