We USAians seem to be getting the wrong point here. China’s not acting stupid about a small thing. They’re INSISTING on their version of the “fact” that Taiwan is part of China, not an independent entity. This behavior isn’t silly posturing, it’s planned posturing, setting up an attempt to overthrow the government there… using the occasion of Pelosi’s visit.
I’m nobody important or with privileged intel. but from speaking from my comfy chair it seems to me that China will stomp down on Taiwan and subdue it within days. None of this fooling around as Russia is doing with Ukraine. China is no paper tiger. Pelosi, trouble not the tiger in its lair. Or be there during the coming conflict as a prisoner. For whom would you be swapped?

A bunch Micro Wangs in China crapping their pants over their bloated egos.

By insisting she must not go, Xi basically forced her TO go. If she did not she, and the US, would look weak and intimidated by China’s threats.

Emperor Xi sure got his knickers in a twist, over one old lady, visiting some friends.
What’d happen if the 7th Fleet dropped in to the Port of Kaohsiung, for some dim sum?

Nice idea, but the parody song lyric doesn’t properly scan.
