So this means she cancelled the trip to Taiwan now?

Damn that’s pretty monumental if they actually deterred her into scrapping it from the jump. Unlikely scenario in any other era

Gotta see more confirmation first tho cus she’s the type to sneak things in

Yeah the second thought I had was she could be trying to do it more on the down low now

Yeah they all played their Ukraine visits as a “surprise” even though we all knew it was happening at some point

With the defense she’d need I’m pretty sure the PLA would still know if US jets was landing in Taiwan

You’d think she was the Secretary of State doing a 4-5 nation trip like this

This makes no sense technically Taiwan even existed earlier than the modern Chinese state lol

Modern Chinese state? Well yeah mainland also China existed before 1949 lol. That doesn't mean it was part of the mainland government for centuries.

So just because of its close proximity?

So I guess Germany can take back the French regions too

It's not close proximity it's part of the same country and both ROC and PRC say this

Both claim the other one is part of them

Yes, so they both acknowledge that Taiwan is part of China, no? Just who gets to govern it is their dispute

Why are you then saying that Taiwan being part of China is even disputed at all, let alone a***ogous to Germany conquering parts of France

Good job! Reduce dependency

Pelosi knew about those threats for a while tho she was the first person to ever mention the concern the military had over her plane. But that’s also why China made those threats and why I made this thread. They will now believe they deterred the US if she doesn’t go, which is something that they’ve never been able to do. The PRC wants US officials to be that scared to land in Taiwan

And you’re right about the congressional visits it’s def not rare….I just feel like there are more priorities at the moment

“Those who play by fire will perish by it”

Hold up when China start rapping?

Well no they both agree the other owns the other. That's the dispute.

Yeah made a little hyperbole lol

China has better maps of Taiwan than Taiwan does

Sadly the US has been at war basically since it was made. We’ve perfected conventional warfare. Mentioning wars like Vietnam or Afghanistan weren’t conventional wars, at least Vietnam wasn’t conventional fully. You can’t win wars that’s against the people (Taliban or Viet Cong).

You win over the hearts and minds or force the government to surrender(like Imperial Japan). I’m pretty sure Nukes would fly before Xi gave up his little government he has going on. So yea, no one would win. Without nukes, America definitely wins. Rather not have a war though.

America will never win in China no matter what

Yall keep acting like China isn't THE superpower in Asia.

It's best to think of Taiwan as its own, sovereign, independent country.

That's what I was implying in the first place

Taiwan is an independent country and should be one. The CCP should get their f***ing mittens off it and keep their cancer to themselves

That being said, I don't believe the us should aggravate it any more

Fair

The nazis are rhe ones running the show in Russia
