WASHINGTON: When House Speaker Nancy Pelosi flew into Taiwan on an Air Force passenger jet on Tuesday (Aug 2), she became the highest-ranking American official in 25 years to visit the self-ruled island. Chin

insisting there's no change in America's longstanding “one-China policy,” which recognises Beijing but allows informal relations and defence ties with Taipei.

The speaker is framing her Taiwan trip as part of a broader mission at a time when “the world faces a choice between autocracy and democracy". She led a congressional delegation to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv in the spring, and her latest effort serves as a capstone to her years of promoting democracy abroad.

Taiwan and mainland China split during a civil war in 1949. But China claims the island as its own territory and has not ruled out using military force to take it.

We need to remind ourselves that Op-Ed stands for 'Opposition-Editorial', and not simply 'Opinion-editorial'. In other words, by nature published Op-Eds are 'expected' to be 'contrarian no matter what'.¹ —— ¹ Referring to the NYTimes 'Op-Ed' mentioned at the end of this video.

Don't forget to mention why Taiwan doesn't about China's temper tantrums CCP supplicants of the CNA. TaiwanIsNotChina and is a free and democratic nation that can welcome anyone that it wants.

Only the Chinese leaders are angry and always are. The Chinese people most probably don't give a toss.

B.s.

US should ditch the One China policy if China makes more threats. If China wants to start a war, so be it.

Pls give some coverage to Tsai and people of TW who have their on views.

China isn't angry. The CCP are angry

CCP criminals have no say on the people from US and Taiwan. So what is the fuss?

Who cares for Chinese?

Don't play with fire.

Probably it's business.. to provoke China into war with Taiwan, and sell their weapons and make money.

purpose of visit? why now? highest office? rest assured that she is not as popular in the US as some of you imagined.

She's a shameless alcoholic who has fattened her (and her family's) coffers for far too long! Take our 'Speaker of the House, please!' (As Rodney Dangerfield would say.) Any DECENT American has NO desire to have Pelosi anywhere near our government! NancyPelosy PelosiInTaiwan

Even peeps in her own party agree....hmmm semi conductor stocks, Bill just passing, more of the insider trading, etc....and to think it was for diplomacy LOL

Because she is the Boss-Lady.

Whoever wrote the article forgot that she also was the main holdout in Congress against MFN status for China due to their human rights record. But I wouldn't expect a bunch of fascist autocrats to understand.

Senators wanted to get rid of her so they sent her to China. She is there playing dress up. She is NOT an ambassador nor a legal representative of the United States, she is a tourist. The government flight ripped off American Citizens.

Cry, bitches, and cry more!

She’s 82 /is it really on her bucket list🤣to visit Taiwan? Unfortunately she’s endangering everyone🤷‍♀️😡

America needs to stop provoking countries into war!!!! How are the 36 biolabs in Ukraine doing? Pelosi provoking China. When Corrupt Biden promised not to. This is upsetting 😡 for the entire world! DEMOCRATS RUIN OUR CONTRY, NOW START WW3!

Dear China, Americans don’t like Pelosi either 🙌🏻

Cos she never go china

publicity stunt for US mid-term.

Shame on her I hope China knows she lives on the west coast if they decide to follow thru with with their warnings!

God protect us all.

Must be doing deals for the hubby.

I sincerely hope they take her out, and not to dinner

Bootlegging vodka 🤣
