China said it was conducting military exercises Saturday off its coast opposite Taiwan after warning Speaker Nancy Pelosi of the U.S. House of Representatives to scrap possible plans to visit the island democracy, which Beijing claims as part of its territory.
The ruling Communist Party’s military wing, the People’s Liberation Army, was conducting “live-fire exercises” near the Pingtan islands off Fujian province from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., the official Xinhua News Agency said. The Maritime Safety Administration warned ships to avoid the area.
Such exercises usually involve artillery. The one-sentence announcement gave no indication whether Saturday’s exercise also might include missiles, fighter planes or other weapons.
Pelosi, who would be the highest-ranking American elected official to visit Taiwan since 1997, has yet to confirm whether she will go. President Xi Jinping warned his U.S. counterpart, Joe Biden, in a phone call Thursday against “external interference” in Beijing’s dealings with the island.
China says Taiwan has no right to conduct foreign relations. It sees visits by American officials as encouragement for the island to make its decades-old de facto independence official.
The Ministry of Defense warned Washington this week not to allow Pelosi, who is Biden’s equal in rank as leader of one of three branches of government, to visit Taiwan. A spokesman said the PLA would take unspecified “strong measures” to stop pro-independence activity.

Yes. But that doesn't make you wrong!
In the land of the blind the one eyed man is...
...insane. He's seeing things!
I notice something now about Red Dawn. China in the 1980s was on their “Charm Offensive” convincing the West they were their friend now.
I think that part about “600,000 Screaming Chinamen” was deliberately put in there as part of this campaign to propagandize China.
All these warnings from China makes me wonder if Premier Xi was not able to get President Xoe on the phone.
After all, Xoe is where he is because he has done the stepping and fetching for China and they own his sorry bitch ass.
So All China needs to do is tell Biden to tell Nancy to stay home and that’s it. Problem solved
Kabuki Theater.
Why is the USA sending this to Taiwan:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMJh20DYE30
(Nancy will not go to Taiwan.)
She’s already in the air headed there. Tail is SPAR19. PELOSI’S plane has left the US mainland after a short stop at the Travis Base, & just arrived at a cruise alt of 32,000 ft.Flightaware.com says SPAR19 landed in Honolulu at 3:08AM local time, or about 8:08AM Central. It’s been there for about 4 hours now
To provide amusement for the Chines?
Of course she’s going. The ChiComs want the Rats to win, it’s cheap political points she gets by going, nothing of consequence will come of the trip anyway.
Damn.
Good article here:
Don’t say we didn’t warn you – Symposium of China’s top think tank sends classic, pre-war warning to provocative Pelosi
“Don’t say we didn’t warn you!” - a phrase that was used by the People’s Daily in 1962 before China was forced to fight the border war with India and ahead of the 1979 China-Vietnam War, was frequently mentioned during a forum held Friday by a high-level Chinese think tank, as analysts warned that open military options and comprehensive countermeasures ranging from the economy to diplomacy from China await if US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gambles with a visit to the Taiwan island during her Asia tour.
On Thursday night, Chinese President Xi Jinping held a phone conversation with US President Joe Biden, during which he once again warned the US about the seriousness and significance of the Taiwan question and said, “Public opinion cannot be defied. Those who play with fire will perish by it. It is hoped that the US will be clear-eyed about this.”

This would be an excellent opportunity for China to take the Pescadores Islands (aka Penghu County).
Refuel the plane and restock Nancy's liquor cabinet.
Four hours is about right.
I don’t think the Chinese realize what a favor they would be doing us. She doesn’t have to fly. She can go by submarine, destroyer, or, more appropriately, a garbage scow.
I want to send her so they can practice their military exercise. She even speaks Chinese.

LOL
The current president pro tempore of the Senate is Patrick Leahy of Vermont! Good Gawd! That Biden, crazy like fox. Replace him for Heels Up, Pelosi, Leahy, or next Blinken! Swap Slo Joe for any of those? The potential ‘24 candidates are just as bad. Maybe we get 2nd Term at Bernie’s.
She’s out shopping.
She’s going to China to escape prosecution.
,
Now is the time for them to make their move.
They supply us with the majority of our products.
They supply our press with all of their ideas.
They supply our Democrats with all of their money.
They supply our military with the most dumbass social crap available.
And they supply our colleges with money.
And they supply our president with spending cash.
What could go wrong? Really.
