Nancy Pelosi continues to threaten to invade China for no reason.
This secret surprise invasion is absurd. It is very obvious, as the Chinese say, that the US is purposefully trying to provoke an incident.
And secret surprise visit for no reason can’t even pretend to not be a provocation. This is not normal diplomacy. They keep saying “well, Newt Gingrich went 25 years ago to Taiwan!” and it’s like, okay, well, firstly, that was 25 years ago. Secondly, he didn’t loom over the entirety of Asia and refuse to say where he was going like it was some kind of kiddie game.
This is a totally strange action.
China does not appear to be joking around.

At time of writing, the plane is on path to Taiwan, after having driven all the way around the Philippines to… build tension?
She literally took this path to build tension.
We say “she.” Obviously, this isn’t her idea. The media is making like it is her idea, and the Bidens are saying they’re against it.
It’s all so very goofy.
