US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi disembarks from a government plane at the US Yokota Air Base, in Fussa on the outskirts of Tokyo, on Thursday, 4 August 2022.The United States said Thursday that China's launch of 11 ballistic missiles around Taiwan was an overreaction to the visit of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan.
Taiwan's defence ministry said it scrambled jets to warn away 22 Chinese fighter aircraft that crossed the Taiwan Strait median line into its air defence zone and said troops fired flares late on Thursday to drive away four drones that flew above the area of its Kinmen islands, off the southeastern coast of China.
"Taiwan will never be knocked down by challenges," Mr Tsai said in a recorded video message to the people of Taiwan. She will meet Prime Minister Fumio Kishida for breakfast on Friday, Japan's foreign ministry said, to discuss the two countries' alliance and issues of shared interest. Mr Biden and his team insisted at the time that their decades-old approach to Taiwan remained in place, however.This includes arming the democratic island for its own defence while acknowledging China's legal sovereignty and expressing "strategic ambiguity" on whether American troops would ever intervene if China invaded the territory.
At a meeting with ASEAN ministers, Mr Blinken said the United States had contacted China "at every level of government" in recent days to call for calm and stability.
What is the impact of that on China's economy? What is the impact of that on the environment?...and for what? To divert the attention of the people of China from internal issues? This is how wars are started.
Another US engineered crisis!!!
Has China realised missiles can be fired at them too ?
Let’s take the attention away from her insider trading millions, her husbands drunk driving coverup and her legendary hypocrisy. Nancy Pelosi is a walking advertisement for term limits.
Nancy Pelosi May trigger major conflict in order to enrich USA military establishment
US should be considering as fire works welcome same as NYE ?
Why do you give extended airtime to the USA and Taiwan speakers, and none at all to the Chinese government speakers?
Taiwan should fight its missiles back immediately
Wow. It's Taiwan season already? Gee the west moves on quickly.
China can whatever it wants in it's territory.
Northern Australia just finished as well.
CCP launched 9 missiles from mainland towards Taiwan's direction. 5 landed in Japanese EEZ(Exclusive economic zone). 4 flew over Taiwan, but judged by the missile flying range-500-700km, the flying height is more than 250km which is outer Space Treaty,not Taiwan's air space.
Better USA negotiates a new global security architecture with China sooner, from a position of relative strength and magnanimity, than its future weakness. auspol
these US guys are so funny
The Eric Cartman strategy.
CCP launched 9 missiles towards Taiwan's direction. 5 landed in Japanese EEZ(Exclusive economic zone). 4 flied through over Taiwan, but judge by missile the flying range-500-700km, the flying height is more than 250km which is outer Space Treaty,not Taiwan's air space.
Overeating? No. China just wants to say no to the bullies!
Your fault Nancy. Your fault 100% This is what the US agreed to. You trashed it.
You couldnt get any closer to an act of war than that really
The spoilt child throwing a tantrum.
Go to the nursing home grandma
'US says'.. As opposed the US way of delivering missile right into civilian areas or conscripted troops retreating. USA has killed 20 million people in 20 wars it has started since WW2. Every single war was a based on a load of proven lies. Vietnam won, it is a great country.
11 wasted missiles.
lol paper tiger They'd never dare actually do anything directly aggressive
Has China considered missiles can be fired at them ?
The rogue CCP is the public enemy of the world. Taiwan is not Chinese.
Pelosi’s stunt is another bankruptcy of US politics, diplomacy and credibility. It proves the US to be the biggest saboteur of peace and the biggest troublemaker to regional stability.
No one got hurt except missiles
More of white imperialists stoking conflict between Asians. We've seen it in Vietnam and Korea and now they want Chinese warring with Chinese. White people have done enough to wreck the world. Stay out of Asia.
'The pinnacle of my political career was flying to Taiwan and pulling shit.' Pelosi.
Over reaction would have been shooting down her plane or destroying Taiwanese Military Their best reaction would be to ignore Taiwan and build a modern China that looks after its own Citizens
We are the NEW CHINESE who is taking down the EVIL Chinese Communist Party！ The Chinese Communist Party is the root cause of all disasters globally. Taking down the Chinese Communist Party is the only way to save humanity! CCP≠Chinese TakeDownCCP GETTR GNEWS MilesGuo
Well, is Chinese territory, they can do anything they want around there.
Japan is overactive in interpreting china drill, anyone can see china drill is to warn the taiwan independence activists
So they think they can win their war over the US? By the way US never intends to win any war. They just want to use it for their personal agenda.
What will the US do if China were to support the independence movement by indigenous Hawaiians against White power?
Just the most shocking Pseudo Imperialism from USA Why Ms Pelosi? Do you not have enough broken in the USA needing repair?
