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. 🤔

I think Taiwan is a sovereign nation but don't think the US should be antagonizing China about it when as it is now they are independent. Leave it alone.

@DffrntDrmmr I served there. Don’t want to see the Island invaded. But if it is will Biden back up his statements regarding a U.S. commitment to defend Taiwan?

@soar2newhighs It does sound like they might have plans to do so.

That was a bold statement by him — but not in a good way. I think that to China it was a provocation (the administration's retraction matters little). I suspect they're now more resolved than they were to seize control of Taiwan at some point. I doubt the US could win that one mission in the long run, and certainly could not force China to surrender in an all-out war (an unlikely war, anyway).
