China warns US of 'Forceful Measures' if Nancy Pelosi Visits Taiwan

That's weird because China was rather quiet about former SoS, Mike Pompeo visiting Taiwan back in March. Pompeo even slapped the CCP by referring to Taiwan as a country. 🤔

It seems from news reports the administration is not exactly sure as to what’s going on, with this supposed August trip to Taiwan, yet the Chinese are angry and a former member of the CCP urges forceful action should Pelosi go to Taiwan. Dangerous rhetoric, potential for trouble.
If they’re saber rattling and there’s any truth to the administration being however unaware of her trip, then to turn down the heat, Joe does one or two things: 1 tells her and her delegation they can’t go or 2, if for whatever reason(s) he can’t prevent them from going, then do what Trump did to her when she wanted to go to Afghanistan - deny them the use of government aircraft. Let them foot the bill..
As for Pompeo, he carried more sway than Pelosi ever wii and was a great Secretary of State. She’s nothing compared to him.

@soar2newhighs I'm still not quite sure what's up with this.

@BizSuitStacy Don’t worry . From the news items on this that I read, even the WH didn’t know either what was/is going on.
Supposedly Biden and Xi are to meet some time in the not too distant future. And if Pelosi’s visit goes through it might make for a very awkward situation for Biden.
