A report that the House speaker will follow through on plans to visit the island will prompt ‘firm and forceful measures’ from China, officials in Beijing warn.
China is warning the U.S. not to allow House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to proceed with a trip to Taiwan she has reportedly planned for next month, even signaling “military but also strategic” consequences for the island nation over which Beijing is becoming increasingly confrontational.
Though the California Democrat herself has not confirmed the trip, the Financial Times reported Pelosi’s plans citing several anonymous officials. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian blasted the report on Tuesday, telling reporters that Beijing perceives it as a “serious violation” of the collection of diplomatic agreements that govern U.S.-China relations toward Taiwan.
“China urged the U.S. to not arrange the visit and stop official exchanges, stop creating tensions across the Taiwan Straits, and take concrete actions to fulfill the U.S. commitment of 'not supporting Taiwan secessionism,’” Zhao warned. “If the U.S. insists on going its own way, China will take firm and forceful measures to firmly safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The U.S. must bear all the consequence of the visit.”

Apt gif, since Nanzi will be coming into town on her broom.
The old bag is there getting the inside scoop on a stock deal.
Don’t screw with Nancy or you could get attacked by a piece of exercise equipment in your home.
China needs to worry about its imploding economy and increasingly restive citizens.

The media is really hyping it up for the ChiComs.
Put are target on Pelousy’s back.
China is the one creating tension.
What threat has Taiwan made against the mainland?
Is crazy Nancy heading over there for communion? 🤪
Who to root for, China or Pelosi.
Is it too much to hope that their timing will be precise, and their targeting too?
(If you get my drift.)
Can China take her? Please; Please, please!
I suspect this is something P worked out with the reds. I mean, why would they try to intimidate such an important client?
It’s a win for both— China gets to beat it’s chest and repeat it’s claim on Taiwan, and Nanzi gets to look tough and uncompromising.
Nancy: Hey, I just got hugged by the Pope himself. I am on a roll now.
Chinese: So?
And another junket. These people love to travel (on our dime).
Are these Covid infected lock downed chinks gay or something? Getting into a lather over Nancy Pelosi (their CCP friend)going to Taiwan.
You get it. Kabuki theater is a cliché these days, but this is what Nancy nitwit Taiwan tour is.
