Taiwan visit by US House leader Pelosi ‘tentative’
Taipei Times ^

Posted on 07/29/2022 8:52:44 PM PDT by FarCenter

It is unlikely Pelosi would back down now, although if she did, the US would need to take measures to not look weak, an Asia expert said

A US news broadcaster on Thursday cited sources as saying that US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi departed for Asia yesterday, with a “tentative” itinerary for Taiwan.

The trip’s official itinerary comprises Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore, NBC News said.

The report also cited sources as saying that Pelosi’s Taiwan itinerary was only listed as “tentative,” and whether she would visit Taiwan is not clear.

The report said that Pelosi has invited senior lawmakers to join her on the trip, including US House Committee on Foreign Affairs Chairman Gregory Meeks and US House Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Mark Takano, who led a delegation of lawmakers to Taiwan last year, the report said.

US Representative Michael McCaul’s office on Wednesday said that the lawmaker had also been invited, but he will not be able to go due to other scheduling arrangements.

Pelosi’s planned trip to Taiwan was first reported on Monday last week by the Financial Times, which cited six people familiar with the matter as saying the 82-year-old Democrat is planning to lead a delegation to Taiwan next month to show support for Taipei as it faces increasing pressure from Beijing.

I guess China told her that she won’t be able to enjoy her $200 million fortune if she goes to Taiwan.

What does Pelosi actually expect to do there? Why does she want to go?

Wanna bet she gets covid and has to come home early? That’s the only face-saving reason for canceling the Taiwan trip that I can think of.

There is no way at this point for the US to NOT visit Taiwan w/o looking weak, dithering and disorganized. If the push to visit is strong, I predict Nancy will find some willing Dem stooge to go in her place.

Nancy will say “Both my doctor...and...even my beloved Husband are telling me this is not the trip for me to be making.
15 hours sitting in a pressurized plane could ‘play havoc’ with my blood pressure! My Doctor has issued his Stern Warning. The choice is not really mine to make. Needless to say, I am beyond regretful!!”

The read alone ....(that this 82-year-old Demorat is leading a delegation to Taiwan 'to show support for Taiwan' as it faces pressure from China.) ... says it's a nosey, 82 yr old busybody sticking her nose in business that's not hers.
