Is the Taiwan Strait war imminent? nancy pelosi is flying from hawaii to taiwan.
August 1st is China's Army Day. It will be very interesting.

In a banned tweet, a top state-media commentator reportedly said China could 'forcibly dispel Pelosi's plane' and shoot it down if it flies to Taiwan


A propagandist for the Chinese government warned that the plane carrying House Speaker Nancy Pelosi could be attacked.


A leading propagandist for the Chinese government warned that China's military could attack the plane carrying House Speaker Nancy Pelosi if it's escorted by US fighter planes on a much-speculated stopover in Taiwan in her upcoming visit to Asia.

Pelosi departed on Friday for a tour that could include a controversial stop in Taiwan, the self-governed island democracy at the heart of rising tensions between Beijing and Washington.

In a now-banned tweet, Hu Xijin, a commentator with the Chinese-state-owned Global Times, wrote, "If US fighter jets escort Pelosi's plane into Taiwan, it is [an] invasion. The [People's Liberation Army] has the right to forcibly dispel Pelosi's plane and the US fighter jets, including firing warning shots and making tactical movement of obstruction."

"If ineffective, then shoot them down," Hu added, per the New York Post.


The Guardian dubbed Hu "China's troll king" and its "most famous propagandist" in a 2021 profile. Hu was formerly the editor-in-chief and party secretary of the Global Times, where "he helped establish a chest-thumping new tone for China on the world stage," said The Guardian.

Pelosi's aides have not yet confirmed if the Speaker's trip will include a visit to Taiwan.

Responding to the growing anger in China at the possibility of Pelosi setting foot in Taiwan, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said, "There's no reason for it to come to that, to come to blows, to come to increased physical tension. There's no reason for that because there's been no change in American policy with respect to One China," AP reports.

Tensions between China and Taiwan have been high for decades, with China considering the island its territory. In contrast, Taiwan, an island democracy of 23 million that broke away from Communist China in 1947, sees itself as an independent state.

The possibility of a visit to the island by Pelosi has triggered heated rhetoric and warnings from Beijing. Reports indicate the Pentagon is planning to call upon US warplanes and ships to provide additional security near Taiwan if a visit goes ahead.

Top military experts on China have warned that a visit to Taiwan by Pelosi could heighten the risk of an "accident" that could spark a military crisis in the region.

"There's a risk of an accident, not a risk of an imminent Chinese attack on Taiwan," Bonnie Glaser, a leading China expert and director of the Asia program at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, told Insider.

Should she visit the island, approximately 100 miles from China's southeast coast, Pelosi would become the highest-ranking US lawmaker in over two decades to visit Taiwan.

Is China starting World War III? What's happening? Understanding...

▪️On the eve of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's scheduled trip to Taiwan, China began to pour threats. Chinese State media suggested that the Chinese army shoot down her plane if she goes to Taiwan. In response, the US sent a group of military aircraft, led by the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan, along with Nancy's plane to protect her.

▪️Taiwan, for its part, also raised fighter jets from Chiayi Air Base into the sky. China has begun moving the PHL-16 MLRS to the province, which is only 180 km from Taiwan.

▪️In response, Taiwan deployed air defense systems at Taoyuan International Airport about half an hour ago

▪️In turn, Chinese warships are spying on the American aircraft carrier strike group led by the nuclear aircraft carrier CVN 76 Ronald Reagan

latest news:

"The United States has touched China's bottom line, and China has reached the highest level of warning against Pelosi's possible visit to Taiwan," said the Communist Party of China's Global Times.





China's Final Warning (Russian: Последнее китайское предупреждение) is a Russian proverb meaning a warning that carries no real consequences.[1]

Origin
Relations between the People's Republic of China and the United States of America during the 1950s and 1960s were strained due to the Taiwan Strait issues. American military fighter jets regularly patrolled the straits, which led to regular formal protests being lodged by the Chinese Communist Party. In China, they issued over 900 "final warnings" to the United States for their fighter manoeuvres in the Taiwan Strait, albeit with no real consequences. Thus, it is a common sentiment in Russia that Chinese warnings are merely warnings without consequences. Eventually, "China's Final Warning" became a catchphrase and proverb in Russia as a result.[2][3]

The People's Republic of China released their first warning to the United States for their reconnaissance flights on 7 September, 1958, during the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis. At that time, the United States considered the Republic of China as the sole legitimate representative of China, and conducted reconnaissance flights in waters controlled by the People's Republic of China. The People's Republic of China recorded such incidents, and issued warnings through diplomatic channels for each incident. The precise number of Chinese warnings is difficult to be evaluated, but is considered to have occurred more than 900 times by the end of 1964.

Chinese "Final Warnings" were regularly broadcast publicly. Since then, "China's Final Warning" became a metaphorical catchphrase within the Baltic states and former USSR countries, and regional variations of the proverb arose as a result. The term was widely used in languages of the former Soviet states, and was used especially in Estonian.
Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth: patiently bearing till he receive the early and latter rain.
Behold, we account them blessed who have endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and you have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is merciful and compassionate.

Pelosi who!? I mean she's free to fly anywhere, also to Taiwan. Of course China issues a warning, they always do for something or someone coming from the West.
With the US being busy waging war against Russia and their invasions and occupations of several countries in the Middle East, China knows that they are in a better position than ever before. Thus they will keep the pressure up. Besides, her trip is a waste of time and tax payers money as the only thing she contributes to is global warming they all pretend to be so concerned about.
