Why should China give them what they want? Maybe we are all eager to start WWIII over that corrupt hag?

Weren't you the one saying how tough and decisive China was awhile back ?

All seriousness though this will cause other US puppets to become more lippy with them and the Solomon Islands to swear off the Chinese base plans perhaps

The multi polar world was coming along. Nobody sanctioned Russia for Ukraine.
It would have been better if China did something. Why not bomb a runway in Taipei ? Just one runway. Make a big crater. Let the hag land on a different one. They could just tell the US. Hey we are just gonna bomb a runway.
I see no downside in an idea like this. It is similar to what Iran did for Qsm.
Trump humiliated Xi more than once. He bombed Syria on the time he visited Xi. He sanctioned like hell.

The Xi express. Hopefully he can join Putin soon for some of that ice cream. Remissness about the biggest bluffs in their political careers. It sure ain't easy.
China can play the sanctions card with Taiwan and it will hurt Taiwan but it will be fuel for those in the separatist camp and it won't break them. These matters are extremely simple, almost always.
Attacking Taiwan or Pelosi's plane is rather stupid. Just
because some smelly old bag took a flight to a disputed territory is not a basis for war or terrorism.
The U.S doesn't have to do anything stupid other than continue to prop up and assist those willing to fight for them.
The best army, navy and airforce money can buy is a proxy army of your enemy's own.
They see a clear vulnerability and weakness and they competently do not let it go, instead they work on exposing it and using it to cause maximum pain. Everything else is for suckers as is the second guessing that rules the capitals of their enemies.
If China really had the balls it could take Taiwan without any doubt, regardless if they roll over it
The U.S should of course not aggravate tensions, tuck itself away, keep to its business only to Latin America and slide away into irrelevance, leaving its strategic rivals to grow unimpeded... how cute of him. Russian and Chinese propaganda do coincide in that line greatly.

Fair point. The Saker has a point too. But this is sorta how the game is played. Can't wait to see what Paul Craig Roberts says

Lol what? Don't hallucinate. Although I don't think that's even going to help you.
Second, just like Russia many times in the past, the Chinese drew a red line and then let the US cross it. Being the narcissistic civilization that it is, the West only saw this as a sign of “weakness”, “indecisiveness” or even “naivete”. What these folks fail to even think about is this: how do you feel most Chinese will react both to the visit and to the lack of Chinese reaction (so far!)? They will get mad and express their frustrations. Now look at it from the Chinese government’s point of view, rather then spending billions on anti-US propaganda they, instead, let the US humiliate China and thereby solidifying the Chinese population for the day when the real confrontation will take place.
[Sidebar: there is a direct connection between years of Kremlin’s rather weak and mostly verbal protests and the “sudden” appearance of the Russian ultimatum to the West followed by the SMO: the Kremlin literally “cooked” its own public opinion to the point were IT *demanded* strong action. Far from alienating or frightening most Russians, the SMO came as a huge relief to them: “we are FINALLY putting the foot down and taking real action”. That would not have been possible before 2018. Those in the West who saw Putin’s “indecisiveness” simply don’t understand the Russian mindset anymore than they understand the Chinese one. Simply put: you cannot prepare for war without preparing your own population for it! That is what Tom Clancy does to the brains of those reading him]

But Russia did do something. This allowed them to stop NS2 and essentially ostracize Russia from the west. It was the best of terrible choices but in spite of some problems and major setbacks Russia is not just hanging in there but is still standing. The west is unnerved that the nuclear sanctions packages didnt do what they hoped, but they still stopped a western european and russian relationship around commerce and brought Europe to heel under the Anglo boot.
It certainly isnt going all their way tho. The insane ideologues, neolibs and neocons and their deconstruction and renovation of the west under full domination is starting to crack
That our republics have been hijacked by rootless cosmopolitans and power brokers that have their wealth overseas, get their policy overseas and see us not as American citizens but consumers in one of many economic zones. Makes me sick
It is too early to assume that China will do nothing. Twatter does not decide what retaliation looks like and what
time frame it occurs on.
The more time the U.S has on their hand to strengthen this nexus, the more time Japan has to rearm, the worse the options for China, and the greater the risk of miscalculations from both sides.
