and she had to find out the truth personally. As a result, Hsiao Bi-khim replied that there was no suggestion of recalling the invitation, which may be a mistake in transmitting the information. She also instigated that if Ms. Pelosi assessed early August as the best time to visit Taiwan, Taiwan would welcome it. Then in a phone call with Hsiao Bi-khim on July 22, Kurt Campbell, the White House National Security Council's coordinator for Indo-Pacific Affairs, said that the White House had explained the risks of Pelosi's visit to Taiwan imminently in mid-to-late July and hoped to change the plan. The US government's intention was clear, but Hsiao was "unmoved" by the invitation to Pelosi.
