Pelosi isn't going to Taiwan. Pelosi never had any plans to go to Taiwan. This is about interrupting the news coverage of the recession. If you're paying any attention to this drama, you're watching the wrong hand.

China can destroy us without launching a single missile, a single ship or firing even a starter pistol. All China has to do is stop exports to the United States and we will fall like a stack of cards. Pelosi knows this. Biden knows this (when he remembers who he is). China knows this.

There has been so much publicity about Pelosi going to Taiwan
and the threat made by China if she does
that "not going" would be a considerable win for China.

Upon learning that Nancy Pelosi will not be visiting #Taiwan, Chinese agents on the island have just taken to the streets of Taipei with pro-Beijing banners that say:

"avoid war, save lives, welcome reunification" and "the alcoholic witch has cowered away"

I wonder how piglosy likes being called "the alcoholic witch" on the international scene? LOL! Maybe she's used to it or has been called worse. LOL!!

But if she's meeting the Taiwan president in Taipei, that's not exactly "cowering away."

Buckle up! If she goes there, we may have big problems!

WAS ALL ABOUT A PAYOFF

China buys US politicians all the time - She and her husband have done millions with China (payoffs)

So likely this whole event was to put pressure on China for some contract or other type of $$$.

She only takes actions that -
Give her more Power
Give her more Money

I am sure that as this hit the news - more than one operative was in contact with her husband - "what can we do to stop this"

Yes - at some point China will move to take Taiwan - but on their schedule - this Pelosi mess would impact that timeline. So China likely just tossed / invested a few million to take care of this distraction -

This is/was totally - 100% - likely a shakedown by Pelosi - likely her last bite at the China Cash Apple as come Nov she is gone.

Get It while you can.

There is really only one response to such an action and I don't think Beijing really understands that it is the US Congress, not POTUS, that is empowered to declare war.

But they don't. When's the last time Congress declared war -- WWII?

Rt: 2:57 (relevant info in about the first 30 seconds or so.)
Apparently, the video you are referring to has been removed by Paul himself. In the video I’ve posted here he explains that someone commented (on the original video) that it was an old tik-tok video and not current.

I’ve been poking around here and Truth Social for any concrete evidence that NP is actually on that plane. I haven’t found any reliable info or proof. Could this all be a scam?

Maybe she's being trolled. Ghost month just started in Taiwan, and the number "4" is very bad luck (some elevators don't have it, some buildings don't have 4th floor, people don't want it on car license plates), because in Chinese the number "4" is very close in tonal speaking to the word for "death".

Thought Clark closed in 1991. Also remember reading that the Chinese were leasing part of the former Clark base for civilian operations.

Pelosi's Asia tour kicks off under Taiwan cloud - Insider Paper
AFP​


US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday kicked off an Asia tour that has been shrouded in secrecy following an escalation in tensions with China over Taiwan.
With no word if Pelosi will visit the island, she stopped first in Singapore, where Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong urged her at a meeting to strive for “stable” ties with Beijing.
Her itinerary also includes Malaysia, South Korea and Japan, but a possible Taiwan visit has dominated attention in the run-up.
Reports about a plan to visit the island have enraged Beijing and caused unease in the White House with President Joe Biden trying to lower the temperature.
Beijing considers self-ruled Taiwan its territory — to be seized one day, by force if necessary — and said it would regard a Pelosi visit as a major provocation.
Pelosi’s office confirmed her Asia trip in a statement Sunday once her plane was in the air, following days of US media speculation and the speaker refusing to confirm her itinerary.
“The trip will focus on mutual security, economic partnership and democratic governance in the Indo-Pacific region,” it said, referring to the Asia-Pacific.
The statement did not mention Taiwan. But visits by US officials there are usually kept secret until delegations land.

– ‘Powder keg’ –
The Global Times, China’s state-run tabloid, suggested that Pelosi might use “emergency excuses like an aircraft fault or refuelling” to land at a Taiwanese airport.
“If she dares to stop in Taiwan, it will be the moment to ignite the powder keg of the situation in the Taiwan Straits,” Hu Xijin, a former Global Times editor and now commentator, tweeted.
Beijing’s foreign ministry on Monday, warned a visit would “seriously threaten the peace and stability” of the Taiwan Strait if it goes ahead.
“If House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visits Taiwan, China will take resolute and strong countermeasures to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity,”spokesman Zhao Lijian said.
“As to what measures, if she dares to go, then let’s wait and see.”
Taiwan’s 23 million people have long lived with the possibility of an invasion but the threat has intensified under Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The United States maintains a policy of “strategic ambiguity” over whether it would militarily intervene were China to invade.
While it diplomatically recognises Beijing over Taipei, it also backs Taiwan’s democratic government and opposes any forced change to the island’s status.
American officials often make discreet visits to Taiwan to show support but a Pelosi trip would be higher-profile than any in recent history.
Taiwan’s government has remained silent on the prospect of a Pelosi visit and there has been minimal local press coverage.
“I really hate what the Chinese are doing,” Hsu Ching-feng, a fruit vendor in Taipei, told AFP.
“But there’s nothing us common folks can do about it but ignore them. I will just ignore them.”

– ‘Wrong target’ –
As House speaker, Pelosi is third in line to the US presidency and one of the country’s most powerful politicians.
The last House speaker to visit was Newt Gingrich in 1997.
Biden and Xi had a tense phone call last week clouded by disagreements over Taiwan.
Xi issued an oblique warning to the United States not to “play with fire” over the island.
Speculation about Pelosi’s Taiwan plans has coincided with an uptick in military activity across the region.
US officials have sought to downplay the significance of a Pelosi visit, urging calm from Chinese leaders.
Kharis Templeman, a Taiwan expert at the Hoover Institution, said Beijing “misread US politics and screwed their signalling up” with its intense reaction.

“They picked the wrong target. Biden doesn’t control the Speaker or any other member of Congress,” he tweeted Sunday.
“They’ve drawn the line at the Speaker of the House, on a visit rich in symbolism but of limited practical value. And now it will be politically costly for either Pelosi not to go, or Xi not to respond with something dramatic.”
In Taiwan, there have been mixed views about the prospect of Pelosi visiting, but figures from both the ruling party and the main opposition have said the island should not cave to Chinese pressure.
“If Pelosi were to cancel or postpone the trip, it would be a victory for the Chinese government and for Xi as it would show that the pressure it has exerted has achieved some desired effects,” Hung Chin-fu, from Taiwan’s National Cheng Kung University, told AFP.
