The Chinese military will not sit back if U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi visits Taiwan, a Chinese defense spokesperson warned on Tuesday.

Tan Kefei, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense, made the remarks in response to a press inquiry regarding the issue.

China demands that the United States honor its promise that it would not support "Taiwan independence," Tan said, adding that if the U.S. side insists on making the visit, the Chinese military will take strong actions to thwart any external interference or "Taiwan independence" separatist scheme, and will be resolute in safeguarding China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The Chinese side has repeatedly made clear to the United States its firm opposition to Pelosi's potential visit to Taiwan, Tan noted.

We can only hope she’s brave enough.

Paul would be happy….errrrrrrrr I mean proud.

[RedMominBlueState]

Yes, exactly. This is all a charade. The Chinese are working with Pelosi. She will go and they will have an excuse to retaliate.

[David Chase]

I don’t really know.

You’re correct that she can’t really back out now.

(I’m not really cheering her on.) It could become a sticky situation.

The apparent threat is made by “the military” that is not in control

China is presently discombobulated and not capable of mounting a sustainable attack

[damper99]

I doubt if she will make the trip.

[Truthsearcher]

At this point she has to go. To back down now is a terrible show of weakness to the CCP. If anything it would encourage them to invade Taiwan.

If Piglosi and PedoClown_TheWhore regime are trying to convince their NPCs that offing her will be the casus belli with China, she should reconsider any plane rides. She's more likely to be Arkancided by Killary! than by anyone else.

China whacking the Speaker is not enough for even PedoClown to push the Button.

PedoClown_TheWhore regime and their masters want war with Russia Russia Russia, not one of their paymasters, China.

Her intrinsic value to the State is fading by the moment. She will never be _resident of anything, let alone the US.

[DoughtyOne]

Great! It’s on then.

[KittyKares]

Great, let’s have a war with two major powers — Russia and China. Maybe Iran will even join the party.

[dfwgator]

Pelosi is every bit our enemy as the ChiComs are.
