U.S. Aircraft Carrier Group Heads Towards Taiwan as Tension Over Nancy Pelosi’s Possible Visit Continues to Grow

China and the United States are building up their military strength around the Taiwan Strait as tensions rise over US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s possible visit to the island.

The American aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan and its strike group, including a guided missile destroyer and a guided missile cruiser, set out from Singapore on Monday (July 25) heading northeast towards the South China Sea, according to ship-tracking information provided by Beijing-based think tank the South China Sea Strategic Probing Initiative.

The ship’s deployment comes after Beijing warned it would "take strong measures" if the US house speaker visits the island.
