Taiwan official Dr. Twu Shiing-jer called the Chinese regime a “paper tiger” on Aug. 2 in an exclusive interview with The Epoch Times following U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s arrival in Taiwan.

Pelosi had arrived for a 19-hour visit, despite threats from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and met with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen and Vice President Lai Ching-te. She has now departed the self-ruled island for South Korea, the next stop on her trip to Asia.
