| China To Pelosi: You Will ‘Perish' Over Taiwan |
| 2022-08-01 |
| [1945] "The position of the Chinese government and people on the Taiwan question is consistent, and resolutely safeguarding China’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity is the firm will of the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people," Chinese ruler Xi Jinping told President Joe Biden during their phone call on July 28, according to the Chinese foreign ministry. "The public opinion cannot be defied. Those who play with fire will perish by it." "Perish"? Xi’s dire-sounding warning, issued in connection with reports that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to go to Taiwan, suggests either that Xi Jinping perceives Biden to be so weak that he can push him around or that China’s internal problems are so severe that the Communist Party must create an external crisis to distract the Chinese people. In the worst case, both are true. For about a decade, Chinese leaders have believed the United States has been in terminal decline, and their regime will soon ascend to global dominance. Biden, at least in their minds, has confirmed this view. His calamitous withdrawal from Afghanistan and his failure to stop Russia’s invasion of Ukraine left Beijing thinking that it can now do what it wants to Taiwan. At the same time, Xi’s threat could be the result of regime insecurity. He needs an external crisis so that the Chinese people won’t think too much about the internal ones. Inside China, coronavirus continues to infect the population, and Xi’s "dynamic zero-COVID" policy is causing widespread resentment as well as undermining the ailing economy. China’s economy, despite the report of 0.4% year-to-year growth in the second quarter, is almost certainly contracting. At the same time, the debt crisis, delayed for more than a decade, has been hitting the country. Evergrande Group and other large property developers are defaulting on bond and other obligations, apartment projects remain unfinished, buyers of flats are participating in a nationwide "mortgage boycott" by not paying banks, the boycott has spread to suppliers of the developers, and financial institutions across the country are tight on cash. There are bank runs, especially in Henan province, but banks in the financial capital of Shanghai are also in poor condition. |

| #23 Kosovo Serbia conflict now flaring up. Kosovo supported by UK, USA, and perhaps Paris and Berlin. The opposition being Serbia whose supporter is Russia. Sooner or later Balkan crisis will at some point develop. This is an indication of the willingness of war interests far removed from this area involved. |

| #13 This is the KowTow demand to the Puppet Show. If she goes, they lose face and prestige, if she doesn't they have taken the measure of the remain husk of American foreign policy credibility. They won't start WWIII over this, nor use kinetic force, but something of significant, damaging impact should be expected. AS an aside, s there any military hardware in the threat piece today that WASN'T stolen from us by their espionage campaign over the years? https://twitter.com/Byron_Wan/status/1554078624130535424 |

| #11 Setting the stage for her to look very presidential. |

| #10 This could also just be a big Kabuki scene, too. Something to make her look 'brave' in the face of a sinister threat. Kind of like Hillary under 'sniper fire'. |

| #9 Worst case scenario is, she does go there and says something like, 'It is so good to be here. I'd like thank the People's Republic of China for this warm welcome in Taipei'. |

| #8 Pelosi has been a thorn in China's side for several decades. Two years after Tienanmen sq she went there with a placard memorializing the people who died there. Then on the 19th anniversary of Tienanmen she gave a Regime-denouncing speech in Congress. It is true that other of her efforts, e.g., indirect subsidies for China's slave labor constructed wind energy industry, helped China. But she was not alone in that. |

| #7 All I have to say to the CCP ..... Give it your best shot, if you dare. It would be a win-win. ☺ |

| #6 Considering she's basically an agent of China, it seems that she has not performed to their satisfaction and so they plan on punishing her. |

| #5 A true American patriot would go, braving the perishment. Instead we sent Nancy. |

| #4 Limited rocket and artillery barrage ? |

| #3 If she takes that trip, and China does nothing, China is seriously fcuked. And if it does something, China is double fcuked. A true American patriot would go, braving the perishment. |

| #2 The Chinese have to know that if they killed Pelosi, act of war or no, half the country would want to thank them and make it a national holiday in the USA. |
