Chinese state media suggests shooting down Pelosi's plane over Taiwan
Fox News ^ | July 29, 2022 | Timothy H.J. Nerozzi

The former chief editor of the Chinese Communist Party's state tabloid, the Global Times, suggested the country shoot down U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi for visiting Taiwan if her plane refuses to divert course.

China's government has warned it will take "forceful measures" if Pelosi visits Taiwan after the Financial Times reported she would travel to the Chinese-claimed island nation next month.

Hu Xijin, former chief editor of the Global Times, called Pelosi's planned visit an "invasion," and suggested shooting down the speaker's plane if U.S. fighter jets escort it to Taiwan.

It would not be a good idea to shoot Pelosi out of the sky.

For the record.

I dont either.

I dont like her and have no desire to see her live one more day.

But this would be an attack on the United States. Thats the larger message and consequence here.

Start of open warfare.

A bad thing? Well, yes, of course! It would be very, very bad. The last thing the Chinese should want is to upset their white capitalist superiors. Do you hear that Xi? Be a good mindless puppet of the capitalist system and leave Pelosi alone.

If the end goal is to spread communism from the mainland to Taiwan, should they not actually provide Pelosi with an escort and make sure her visit goes well? Or do deranged communists of different nations not get along?

I still think this is all orchestrated Kabuki Theater, meant to boost the Rats chances in November, which clearly the ChiComs want.

While I would normally love to see Pelosi get smoked out of the sky, we need to remember she will most likely be flying in a USAF aircraft flown by American servicemembers.

I think that if Pelosi wants to visit Taiwan, she should damn well fly commercial or lease a private jet. Not going to happen, though. She loves sticking the taxpayers with her bills.

Because bigmouth china says no, she has to go now.

I would just send 5 planes with escorts. Lets see how they figure out which one she’s on. If they hit multiple planes wwiii is actively on.

The crews are well trained and can handle the emergency procedures.

Drunk Nanzy, well, hey, the crew tried and all that, but...

That’s why it’s not going to happen.
