China won't 'sit idly by' as new report claims Pelosi will visit Taiwan
2022-08-02
[NYPOST] House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
will visit Taiwan on her current swing through Asia despite escalating threats from China, which views the island nation as part of its territory, according to a new report.

, citing a senior Taiwanese government official and a US official, reported that Pelosi’s trip would include an overnight stay — though the report did not mention when the visit would take place.

a Chinese Foreign Ministry rep warned Monday that Beijing’s military would "not sit idly by" if Pelosi (D-Calif.) enters Taiwan.

Zhao Lijian also declared that due to Pelosi’s status as the "No. 3 official of the U.S. government," a Taiwan visit would "lead to egregious political impact."

Taiwanese outlet SET News reported Monday that Taipei’s Ministry of National Defense had canceled leave for some officers and soldiers and put the country’s air force on a war footing. The outlet also indicated that Pelosi would arrive in Taiwan at some point Tuesday night.

In a statement Sunday, Pelosi’s office listed Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan as countries on her itinerary. The statement did not mention Taiwan, but that does not mean the speaker has ruled out traveling there.
