Pentagon opposes Pelosi's Taiwan trip due to Chinese warning

[Beast]

cheap talk......who started first?

on topic, world is waiting to see Grave Consequences now that Pelosi has landed in sovergian country Taiwan..

The show havent even ended and cheerleaders start celebrated when the finished line is not even seen.

Will China move to take the Kinmen island(s); on its side of the median line of the Taiwan straits to demonstrate resolve and get war experience?

I think PLA maybe more ambition to take Penghu island too.

Maybe China should’ve downplayed the visit (described as precedented by the White House) instead of giving Pelosi what she wants - media portrayal of a defiant human rights defender

wondering if China would stop making iPhones for US causing Grave Consequences to US...i dont think military response is an option for them but lets see what at least chinese internet warriors have to say..they have made some big statements on this topic in another thread..

China turns out to be chicken. Such a non existing subdued response from China until now. Someone was right about China, Barking dogs seldom bite.

Might as well, because any major military operation would cause blowback. Taking everything but the main island leaves room for reunification with minimal bloodshed but also galvanizes Taiwan to prepare for an invasion like Ukraine has been doing since 2014. The ball is in Chairman Xi’s court. Due to the build up of rhetoric, As Sun Tzu would say he stands on “Fatal Terrain”, where he must act.

Pelosi was on an official USAF Plane. An attack is a direct act of war against the US. The Chinese are not that dumb. They will wait till Pelosi leaves and will probably move to take some of the islands around Taiwan. Look at the precedent of the Spratelys and the Paracels.

China may attempt to make a military move on its own terms,similar to 2020 Galwan, but keep it proportional,to avoid provoking an American military response. Nearest Taiwanese territory to China lies at high risk...

Either Pelosi shouldn’t go alive or China should invade Taiwan. Time for China to show her mettle. Otherwise, China chicken image will be remembered for years and hound her. It might also not go well for China’s domestic population and politics.

Taiwan is no Ukraine. You really think Taiwanese willing to die fighting against PLA? If Taiwan loses Kinmen and Penghu and not able to get it back? And who will be the one getting label as talk only but no action? PLA or Taiwan Greenpan party?

Dont talk so fast, even Iran strike US with ballistic missile needs some days to prepare.

By air, c-17 flights resupplying Taiwan. Will China dare to shoot them down?

What is this American grandma going to do?

At the least it's good for the domestic semiconductor IC manufacturing industry which employs this Fakir too....

Now, folks would be concentrating on the alternatives to TSMC, UMC etc....
