    Why on earth is Pelosi going to Taiwan ? ...

    She's not Secretary of State or Defense so she's not going
    to be making any decisions regarding China.
    If it was just to poke her finger in Xi's eye, then what was the
    point of that ? Now with China threatening consequences if
    she goes ahead with trip, it puts us in a bad position, Can't
    back down, but not doing so risks who knows what ?
    Best solution would be for Pelosi to announce she has the
    Covid - or somebody to announce it for her, meaning her trip
    has to be postponed. Then just let the whole business just
    fade away.

    Nancy Pelosi hasn’t said if she’s going to Taiwan, but if she does she’d be entering one of the world’s hottest and most contentious spots.

    Perhaps to find a good buy on bourbon?

    As long as she's out of our country good riddance.

        China is warning it will respond forcefully if U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi proceeds with a visit to Taiwan.

        What does this mean? No more computer chips, or go nuclear?

          Napoleon's XVIth maxim right?

          Here someone from the US is telling Xi he doesn't call the shots, and instead of getting behind it, you question it.

          And then you'll wonder why people suspect you love foreign dictatorship more than your own country. Or in DT's case, the country he's lucky it puts up with him.

          People suspect it because it appears to be true.

                              And who would that be? Biden spent 2 hours telling Xi where to send Hunters checks.

                              Oh, my gosh!!! I forgot, you were there listening in on the conversation and you have first hand knowledge of exactly what was said. Sorry, my mistake.
