OH
Looks like a blockade to me
Personally, I believe this is all part of Brandon’s deal to give Taiwan over to Communist Red China. Just as he gave Afghanistan to Taliban and Ukraine Donbas to Putin - and as Obama gave Crimea to Putin, all because Hunter antics and Blackmail.
Cowards! Xi you effin COWARD! You said you were going to blow up her plane...what happen you COWARD? The world is watching...YOU ARE A JOKE!! All talk and no action! They’re laughing in your face. PAPER TIGER! 😂
What a buncha sissies they are
I’m sure Taiwan ATC would route all air traffic, including Nancy, around those areas anyway, so what’s the big deal? Unless the PRC is going to try something with Nancy’s plane specifically, if it can ID it, on its way into Songshan Airport. The larger problem is all of the innocents on commercial flights in the area who are at risk because of Nancy.
It has all the elements of a wreck-less, stupid and self serving move. It seems damn dangerous to have China lose face in such a public way. On the other hand there could be a much bigger play here since the ChiComs had a very big role in getting clueless Joe into the White House.
They warned Biden to no avail. They released this statement earlier today. It was obvious they weren’t bluffing. How many USN ships in that area? Only one carrier group? Dangerous, dangerous time to have the dip$hits and traitors in the White House and Pentagon responsible for deescalating this.
BEIJING, Aug. 2 (Xinhua) — China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday issued a statement on Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi’s visit to China’s Taiwan region. Following is the full text of the statement:
On 2 August, in disregard of China’s strong opposition and serious representations, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi visited China’s Taiwan region. This is a serious violation of the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-U.S. joint communiqués. It has a severe impact on the political foundation of China-U.S. relations, and seriously infringes upon China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. It gravely undermines peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and sends a seriously wrong signal to the separatist forces for “Taiwan independence”. China firmly opposes and sternly condemns this, and has made serious démarche and strong protest to the United States.
There is but one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s territory, and the Government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China. This has been clearly recognized by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 of 1971. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, 181 countries have established diplomatic relations with China on the basis of the one-China principle. The one-China principle is a universal consensus of the international community and a basic norm in international relations.
In 1979, the United States made a clear commitment in the China-U.S. Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations — “The United States of America recognizes the Government of the People’s Republic of China as the sole legal Government of China. Within this context, the people of the United States will maintain cultural, commercial, and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan.” Congress, as a part of the U.S. Government, is inherently obliged to strictly observe the one-China policy of the U.S. Government and refrain from having any official exchanges with China’s Taiwan region. China is all along opposed to the visit to Taiwan by U.S. congressional members, and the U.S. executive branch has the responsibility to stop such visit. Since Speaker Pelosi is the incumbent leader of the U.S. Congress, her visit to and activities in Taiwan, in whatever form and for whatever reason, is a major political provocation to upgrade U.S. official exchanges with Taiwan. China absolutely does not accept this, and the Chinese people absolutely reject this.
The Taiwan question is the most important and most sensitive issue at the very heart of China-U.S. relations. The Taiwan Strait is facing a new round of tensions and severe challenges, and the fundamental cause is the repeated moves by the Taiwan authorities and the United States to change the status quo. The Taiwan authorities have kept seeking U.S. support for their independence agenda. They refuse to recognize the 1992 Consensus, go all out to push forward “de-sinicization”, and promote “incremental independence”. The United States, for its part, has been attempting to use Taiwan to contain China. It constantly distorts, obscures and hollows out the one-China principle, steps up its official exchanges with Taiwan, and emboldens “Taiwan independence” separatist activities. These moves, like playing with fire, are extremely dangerous. Those who play with fire will perish by it.
The position of the Chinese Government and people on the Taiwan question has been consistent. It is the firm commitment of the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people to resolutely safeguard state sovereignty and territorial integrity. It is the common aspiration and sacred responsibility of all Chinese sons and daughters to realize the complete reunification of the motherland. The will of the people is not to be defied, and the trend of the times cannot be reversed. No country, no forces and no individual should ever misestimate the firm resolve, strong will and great capability of the Chinese Government and people to defend state sovereignty and territorial integrity and to achieve national reunification and rejuvenation. China will definitely take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity in response to the U.S. Speaker’s visit. All the consequences arising therefrom must be borne by the U.S. side and the “Taiwan independence” separatist forces.
China and the United States are two major countries. The right way for them to deal with each other lies only in mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, no-confrontation and win-win cooperation. The Taiwan question is purely an internal affair of China, and no other country is entitled to act as a judge on the Taiwan question. China strongly urges the United States to stop playing the “Taiwan card” and using Taiwan to contain China. It should stop meddling on Taiwan and interfering in China’s internal affairs. It should stop supporting and conniving at “Taiwan independence” separatist forces in any form. It should stop its acts of saying one thing but doing the opposite on the Taiwan question. It should stop distorting, obscuring and hollowing out the one-China principle. It must take credible actions to observe strictly the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-U.S. joint communiqués, deliver on the “five noes” commitment made by the U.S. leadership (i.e. not seek a “new Cold War”; not seek to change China’s system; the revitalization of its alliances is not against China; not support “Taiwan independence”; not look for conflict with China), and not go further down the wrong and dangerous path.
Taiwan surrounded with ChiCom live fire drills sea & air.
Guarantee there’s going to be AWACS E-3 Sentry’s loitering there for the next few days gathering free intel.
Giving Taiwan and its Fab pants to china is just the bonus to humiliating the US and showing more weakness to invite more threats and manufactured crises.
After directly threatening Biden’s life on their last call, Biden will hurry along turning over the US power grid to China under the guise of “going green”.
Meanwhile, armchair generals and other puffy chested types will scream, but do nothing as the lights go out ...
Election Year Suckerbait-Ukraine 2.
I hope Nancy goes on live TV and tears that notice in half. She’s done it before.
What platform does their hypersonic missile fly from?
China throwing a temper tantrum.
Granted the Chicoms have been taunting Taiwan with their air encroachments. Taiwan can only pay this game with our help. Funny Nancy would be the one.
Not a fan of Nancy, but I think any ‘thanks’ needs to go to the government of Red China, who seems to think the entire South China Sea is their own private lake.
During the 60s and 70s the Chinese issued so many final warnings to the US that Chinese final warning in Russia means something that will never happen
