#5 Ignoring all the saber rattling, tough talk and photo ops, I still can find no logical reasoning for her to even go on trips like this.

She supposedly does not initiate foreign policy, but what do I know.

Still seems like a kabuki, but that requires song (歌), dance (舞), and skill (伎).

#6 Also, Kabuki is Japanese, so you'd figure Chinese would hate it.

#8 I still can find no logical reasoning for her to even go on trips like this.

Remember 'Queen' Nancy's triumphant walks with a ceremonial gavel when she was elected speaker? Vanity. Narcissism. Nancy seems to live in a world where she is Prime Minister For Life™ in a parliamentary US government ...or at least she seems to act like it.

I wonder what this staged mini-drama event got for viewers? An how much Chinese $$$$ got funneled into (D) campaigns and pockets came from it?

#12 I still can't believe Nancy would do anything that Xi Jinping didn't want her to do. So, yeah, kabuki even if kabuki is Japanese and the Chinese hate it.
