#Pelosi's Taiwan visit is a major provocation that upgraded US-Taiwan relations and a real threat to China's sovereignty & territorial integrity. China has to prepare itself for every possible scenario.
1204
Some are asking: #Pelosi already left Taiwan, why's China still doing military drills? The answer's simple: When you get stabbed, after removing the knife, the wound won't stop bleeding.
1205
BTW, #US has done 100+ military drills at China's doorstep thousands of miles away from US territory. What's wrong with China defending its own territorial integrity?

Glad to hear @SecBlinken say the US believes strongly that diplomacy is the most important tool that they can bring to bear on any problem, any challenge. Really?
1208
Reality suggests the #US favors some other tools: unilateral sanctions, trade wars, suppression of foreign companies, military strikes ... and - as former NSA John Bolton proudly claimed to be part of - planning coups abroad.
1209
.@SecBlinken said the US is working to uphold basic principles. Wonder when the #US launched wars on Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan... led NATO eastward expansion and went back on its one-China commitment, has the US been upholding “basic principles”?

The US doesn't care about the people of Taiwan. They see Taiwan as nothing but a perfect natural "aircraft carrier that can't be sunk".

A GT poll finds more than 97% of the 500,000 respondents believe there should be an investigation into US human rights violations. The US had better check on itself before pointing an accusing finger at others.

Is this the kind of democracy #Pelosi has been advocating around the world? Why not show more care about her own people and spend more time in improving her own constituency?
1213
Take a look at The CHIPS and Science Act. A perfect example of overreacting and coercion. The US cannot boss the world around to do its bidding. Don't be an insufferable bully playing an "innocent" saint.

Suppose the world were a class. Just as everyone is studying hard for better grades, student A in order to stop his classmates from getting ahead, cuts the electricity in their homes, makes huge noises and keeps banging with guns on their doors ...
1215
... and "proudly" claims he's keeping the rules-based order. Anyone likes this guy? Seriously?
