Pelosi will be gone in 3 months and the Biden regime will become a lame duck at the same time. Should Xi be given a 3rd term? It should be debatable. The worst thing is that the Chinese government has been thoroughly infiltrated by the U.S. spy ring and Pelosi knew that PLAAF would not intercept her and PLA wouldn't endanger her in anyway before hand.

One small victory of having a 81 year old prune landing in Taiwan to land in such a silly fashion. And she believes this will somehow turn the tide against China. Ha, this is just the beginning, if Pelosi’s actions in Taiwan confirms China’s doubts and that Biden and the WH is lying despite walk back attempts, then China will be free to make their next move with the key understanding that America’s word has no value no matter how off they try to walk back statements in the future. She cannot change policy nor can she commander the military to do much, in a sense this is good because it helps to show where these western carriers and ships are for future reference. Let’s see if this helps to keep the democrats in office during the mid terms, from with more disaster shall spring given the current performance in regards to basically everything or if her actions will tank the democrats meaning that her actions in Taiwan is pointless after all. Let’s see but rash actions isn’t something China should rush into given how obvious a trap this is, acting with a clear head will often yield greater results and China still have many options available and sometimes it isn’t a good idea to play certain cards too quickly
True, but the China hating trolls will eat this moment up like they won over China.

You know what ill reserve my judgment for atleast a month. Lets see if Xi has planned something.

Ofcorse i never expected China to blow Pelosi in the air but what angers me is that Chinese state media unnecessarily issued veiled threats, promising military actions, creating jingoism amongst the masses and what not. Should've remained quiet and t wouldn't even notice the visit.

Im already seeing thousands of comment on Wiebo as to how China still hasn't escaped the Century of humiliation. Promises and then lack of measures significantly harms national morale .
Why do you think they wrote it like that?

Some form of military operation is coming. If so, shooting her down or even sending planes would be counterproductive, the same reason why China didn't bomb Nehru when he visited the border before the 1962 war. It allows both sides to deescalate after a short war.

I'd be very surprised if the current ROC borders remain the same after the smokescreen from the upcoming "exercise" lifts.

Sometimes I ask myself, is the world really ending soon, or am I spending too much time on SDF?

Seems like there was more drama here than in the Straits. Not gonna lie, the Chinese response was disappointing, but I remember also being disappointed in the inaction during the HK riots.
