There was a lot of back-and-forth hostility between the government of China and the administration of Joe Biden in advance of Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan. Some Chinese state media even suggested a possibility that Pelosi’s plane could be shot down. However, none of the threats materialized.
Yesterday it was obvious the White House was attempting to diffuse the aggressive grievances of Beijing when spokesperson John Kirby, technically the NSC Coordinator for Strategic Communications, made a specific statement:
“The world has seen the United States government be very clear that nothing has changed — nothing has changed — about our One China policy, which is of course guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the Three Joint U.S.-PRC Communiqués, and the Six Assurances. We have said — and we have repeatedly said — that we oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side. We have said that we do not support Taiwan independence. And we have said that we expect cross-Strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means.”
Those six words, “we do not support Taiwan independence,” was a very deliberate and public assurance to China. Essentially, the United States will not do anything to support the independence of Taiwan, do whatever you want. Joe Biden took a knee to Chairman Xi. As a result, Beijing dropped back their tone to traditional rhetoric saying in a statement Tuesday morning, the visit “seriously infringes upon China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
Arriving late last night, Speaker Pelosi released the following statement: “Our visit is one of several Congressional delegations to Taiwan – and it in no way contradicts longstanding United States policy, guided by the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, U.S.-China Joint Communiques and the Six Assurances. The United States continues to oppose unilateral efforts to change the status quo.”
The Biden administration then sought to overwhelm the media coverage of the Pelosi controversy by promoting the killing of al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al Zawahiri.
…And that’s the way that went.
Tucker Carlson pointing out that Taiwan is home to 90% of the world’s semi-conductor manufacturing
… that constitutes much of America’s electronics industry such as Apple, Qualcomm, etc
… not to mention a lot of US military technology, probably
Greenlighting China to take over Taiwan would further knock the US off its pedestal and relegate it to the has-been bin of history
“Fundamentally transforming America” and all that, you know …
Obama’s reign and campaign continues
By saying the military says she shouldn’t go, Biden was saying “I’m afraid of China. And so is the American military.”
Just as China told him to say.
Nancy will get a Nobel peace prize for negotiating the Taiwan government to surrender to the CCP. JoeBama will also get a Nobel peace prize for killing a long forgotten senior terrorist. President Xi will also get a Nobel peace prize for not launching deadly missels at Taiwan and starting world war 3. The Taiwan chip making capability will slow because of takeover but the congress passed bill to save chip making in America will instead go to Taiwan to restore their chip making. All the chips will go to China. American media will be praising JoeBama team.
Very simply, this was done by design. The cabal wanted it, as it begins a level of provocation needed to bring the next conflict.
Note the RINO’s all formally supporting the witch…here is the list:
Mitch McConnell (R-KY), John Thune (R-SD), Jim Inhofe (R-OK), Jim Risch (R-ID), Roy Blunt (R-MO), John Cornyn (R-TX), John Barrasso (R-WY), Ben Sasse (R-NE), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Steve Daines (R-MT), Susan Collins (R-ME), Deb Fischer (R-NE), Todd Young (R-IN), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Rob Portman (R-OH), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Richard Burr (R-NC), John Boozman (R-AR), Tim Scott (R-SC), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Pat Toomey (R-PA), Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and Dan Sullivan (R-AK).
Disgusting. Not that we shouldn’t support Taiwan, but this was intentional “poke the bear” crap.
I don’t have anything personal against Taiwan, but I haven’t heard a compelling reason why we should support Taiwan other than we need access to their semiconductor fabrication plants.
Why would any sane person send her anywhere but the store to buy a pack of gum?
Not the Liquor store. lol
I’m amazed Miss Lindsey didn’t join in. I guess that other useless bastard from SC was there for both of them.
“However, none of the threats materialized”. Too bad. With the amount of gin aboard it would have been a fireball seen from space. A sign that something even worse might be unfolded as a result by the CCP. We will see I guess.
bverwey
Pelosi is now taunting China- honestly, they can have her! Hellfire is acceptable…

It’s all part of a diabolical plan to enslave America. As Rush would say; don’t doubt me.
Would love to be a fly on the wall……

How I hope the taxpayer paid trip transporting Nancy & the flight of ideas in that woman’s head, bears west on departure & makes a quick stop in China & leaves her there.
She’s sure to know many rich acquaintances, & DUI husband can join her on his own ill-gotten dime.
Wonder if anyone can answer this—Isn’t this visit essentially in violation of the Logan Act.
If so this would no be the first time that Nancy violated the Logan Act. I know that Taiwan doesn’t have a direct dispute with America, but Nancy is interfering with Taiwan’s dispute with China.
