The US Air Force special flight took off from the Hawaiian Islands and headed towards Asia, according to the Flightradar service, which tracks flights.
According to the service, we are talking about a Boeing C-40C with registration number 09-0540. According to the US Air Force website, Boeing C-40C aircraft provide “safe, comfortable and reliable transportation” of US leaders. It is noted that these aircraft are transporting, in particular, members of the US Congress.
Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi said earlier that she would visit Singapore, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea and Japan with a congressional delegation, but a visit to Taiwan was not reported.
A possible visit by Pelosi to Taiwan was reported back in April, but the Asian tour was canceled due to her sudden infection with the coronavirus. The media also reported that Chinese diplomats in the United States were actively working to convey to US congressmen the undesirability of a visit to the island “in the interests” of both sides.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry previously stated that if Pelosi visits Beijing Island, he will definitely take decisive and effective measures to protect state sovereignty and territorial integrity, and the United States will be fully responsible for all the serious consequences arising from this. China officially considers Taiwan its province, but Taiwan positions itself as a separate state.
