Any conflict over Taiwan will be another catastrophe for the world

Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan, to some extent, has already crossed China’s red line.

The incumbent superpower is now ominously sliding towards a military confrontation with the rising one.

Bangladesh is closely following the developments in the Taiwan Strait and urged all parties concerned to exercise utmost restraint and refrain from any actions that may aggravate tension and undermine peace and stability in the region and beyond.

The United States sent two warships through the Taiwan Strait in the first such operation this year, the Taiwanese government says, as it increases the frequency of transits through the strategic waterway amid tensions with China.
