and linked “reunification” with Taiwan to his goal of “national rejuvenation”. Now is a dangerous time to test his resolve just for the sake of it.
Worst, Ms Pelosi’s trip risks exposing how unsure the administration is of its Taiwan policy. If, heaven forbid, the visit escalates into an international security crisis, the fault will lie with China. But the situation will also test Mr Biden and his team, who are already dealing with the war in Ukraine. Are they prepared?
America is right to want to defend Taiwan from invasion. The country is a pro-Western democracy of 24m people that plays an important role in the global economy, producing the world’s finest. It is also a pillar of the American-led order in the region. But declaring that intention does little to deter China, which already assumes America would protect the island.
America should make it clear that it is willing to help. It could, for example, upgrade its training mission in Taiwan, offer it Israel-style military aid to buy, and create financial incentives for it to choose more asymmetric options. The next time America conducts exercises with its other Asian allies it should invite Taiwan to observe . They should all follow America and Japan in developing plans for the next big crisis.

This is really a silly statement. It’s all been choreographed perfectly. Your standards are quite low.
Authoritarianism is more of a Republican thing.
That is utter BS. The visit is an open provocation to make China reveal their cards. The US believe the Chinese Army is as lousy as the Russian and they may well be right.
What a funny joke about CCP coward thuggish ruling
Joe Biden doesn't even have authority over his bowels. The fuck is he gonna do about the CCP?
All Pelosi has done is strengthened China’s will and thus damaged Taiwan’s economy and made people poorer, all to showboat to the world that she and Tsai Ing-Wen are high and mighty female leaders. What a complete joke.
An incoherent strategy delivered by an incoherent politician
Horrible scenes pf people falling from the sky and people praying on the ground from the last day in Kabul airport cemented the fact that Joe Biden was DOA. Visit Ukraine to see why the world is ripe to make fundamental changes in our civilization.
vali_nasr Has Nancy ever given any indication of giving a single solitary fuck?
Not. At. All.
, rubbish. The House Speaker is second in succession to POTUS/VPOTUS. She didn't go rogue..., she went to Taiwan on a critical strategic mission.
Now let us see what will happen next
War mongering towards WW3 is considered a virtue. Billions may die but at least the American corporations can rake in profits.
'The trip has made Joe Biden look irresolute and lacking in authority' 'Irresolute'? It’s not the president's prerogative to order Congress 'Lacking in authority'? The president *is* lacking in authority when it comes to Congress It’s no accident the Constitution says 👇🏼 first
Nope. Joe Biden has made himself look irresolute & lacking in authority, not Pelosi.
Sanctus simplicitous 🤣. The Speaker really went to Taiwan without authority from Biden
We all know he is . However, if this is within agreements already made I can’t see why the visit should exacerbate a situation
I think it's the first time I agree with you
China is completely controlled by US. And who exercises control over control?) China's government believes, that it is subordinate to the business jewish elite of the US. Is it so? Who knows?) Course, world needs a new hegemon and it will be China. US needs military budget... etc
What does it tell you that the responses to your article and tweet are all from people who might as well be getting their opinions straight from the PLA if not the GRU?
那太是了
It’s funny how Pelosi knows better than all the experts. This is her last hooray before she is finally entombed.
fixed
Another view is that not all issues are purely economic, influence and power have a stronger motivation than just money.
'Big help with a little bad mouth' see peterschweizer book redhanded This is all political theater. Pelosi and many other D's and R's are completely in bed with the CCP China is perfectly fine with public stunts like this. As long as they get the 'Big Help' they want in DC
Is nancy pelosi a grown woman or a teenage brat, who does not know that she puts other people in danger? maybe she wanted to be young again…?
Nancy Pelosi risked WW3 for her personal political interest. This woman should have been arrested for insider trading + war crime + corruption, and her husband for insider trading + DUI.
Why is it the race for more? More land, more control, more stuff, more money, more power? We live on a blue dot & if we continue to have an international policy of ‘more’, we’ll all cease to exist. Time to grow TF up & choose to live in peace. ClimateCrisis WWIII ClimateStrike
Liberals are losing America, they are in a desperate move to drive the country into major conflicts around the world— they consider America as a major threat to Pirates 🏴☠️ and their liberalism bullshit, a big fat lie. Liberalism is as good as dead.
'The country's single most important opponent...' It's as if the vast archives of The Economist couldn't find the exact turn of phrase said of Japan & U.S. in the 1980s 🙄
Of course !!! This US government violates its own agreements !! Taiwan is China 👇😶😐👇
tl;dr? behind paywall
Good and strong Nancy pelosi 😎 making world great
