Taiwan: Nancy Pelosi trip labelled as 'extremely dangerous' by Beijing

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-62398029


China has branded a landmark visit to Taiwan by US Speaker Nancy Pelosi as "extremely dangerous".

It accused Ms Pelosi, the most senior US politician in 25 years to visit the island China claims as its own, of "playing with fire".

"Those who play with fire will perish by it," Beijing warned in a statement.

Ms Pelosi said her visit "honours America's unwavering commitment to supporting Taiwan's vibrant democracy" and did not contradict US policy.

As her plane touched down, Chinese state media reported that its military jets were crossing the Taiwan strait. Taiwan denied those reports at the time - but later said that more than 20 Chinese military planes had entered its air defence zone on Tuesday.

China - which sees Taiwan as a breakaway province which will one day reunite with it - has previously warned that its armed forces "will not stand idly by".

Within an hour of the plane's arrival, it announced that the People's Liberation Army will conduct a series of live-fire military drills in the air and at sea around Taiwan later this week - warning ships and aircraft not to enter the affected areas.

It follows days of escalating tensions ahead of the visit, in which Chinese warplanes had already ventured out as far as the median line, the unofficial dividing line separating China and Taiwan in the waters between them.

No worries.

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi lands in Taiwan despite China's threat of 'serious consequences'.

All good. Not bad for an 82 year old, eh?

It is not China that claims governance over Taiwan, it is the Communist Party. It is time to stop pretending their so-called One China policy has any validity. No democracy should acknowledge claims by governments that do not allow a free media and uninhibited opposition parties. This includes Cuba, NK, Venezuela, Russia, China, Burma etc.

issue,

Good post.

I agree with what you said there, 100%.

The CCP is not China.

The real China, is the [whole] people of China.

The CCP is an entity which is able to 'rule' China [rule the Chinese people] only by terrorising ordinary Chinese people.

The CCP is a terrorist entity.

The CCP is a bully and a thug, and they are a group of murderers.

Nothing more.

No ?



Why are nations which claim to respect democratic principles, choosing to trade with a China ruled by a CCP 'mafia' ?

Nations which trade with a China [a China which is ruled by the CCP, which is a murderous 'mafia'], do so because their leaders have the morals of a whore.

No ?



whore = = work as a prostitute.    use the services of prostitutes.     debase oneself by doing something for unworthy motives.
