Chinese President Xi Jinping issued a warning to his U.S. counterpart Joe Biden in their fifth and latest conversation, warning that pushing the envelope on the sensitive issue of Taiwan would have serious consequences.
As reports that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was considering traveling to the disputed island next month stirred an uptick in tensions between Beijing and Washington, Xi "highlighted that the historical ins and outs of the Taiwan question are crystal clear, and so are the fact and status quo that both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one and the same China," according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry's readout of his call with Biden.
The Chinese leader called on the U.S. to abide by the commitments that serve as the cornerstone for relations established between China and the U.S. in 1979.
"The three Sino-U.S. joint communiqués embody the political commitments made by the two sides, and the one-China principle is the political foundation for China-U.S. relations," the readout stated. "China firmly opposes separatist moves toward 'Taiwan independence' and interference by external forces, and never allows any room for 'Taiwan independence' forces in whatever form."
While Washington broke off official relations with Taipei nearly half a century ago, the U.S. has since maintained an informal relationship with Taiwan in the form of military support and political engagement that have expanded in recent years as U.S.-China tensions worsened. Beijing still lays claim to the self-governing island and has warned it reserved the right bring Taipei into the Chinese Communist Party's fold through force if diplomacy did not work.

That would have been a much more effective warning if Xi had said:
“Confucius say: He Who Pray with File Pelish By It.”
My food cooks with fire.
My house stays warm by fire created by burning wood.
Farmers use fire to burn harvested crops to put nutrients back into soil.
My car runs on fire (Internal Combustion Engine).
Xi is hyper-venting to say using fire will perish you.
"Mr. Chairman, we have a similar saying that applies to you: 'F&*k around and find out'".
Hey, Xi. Here’s another one for ya.
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
And keep Pelosi there in China.
He would never have made that statement to President Trump. What worthless POS we have in the White House.
Unless China nukes Taiwan, they are fully bluffing.
Folks on the internet make it seem like a cross straits invasion of Taiwan is feasible for China. That is a complete fallacy. They are many years away from being able to lift the troops, get them to Taiwan, and unload them in a manner that doesn’t result in millions of deaths…and a significant loss of their sea power.
Once again, China is full of bluster. They could hit Taiwan with a lot of missiles. But they are not invading any time soon.
I thought they were old friends.
And this (which isn’t as “jargon.”

What the GOP needs to do is demand the recoring of Biden’s conversation with Xi. No telling what bad compromises and promised he mad to Xi.
