China Threatens To Shoot Down Pelosi’s Plane If She Tries To Visit Taiwan
Communist China threatened to shoot down Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) plane on Friday if the 82-year-old lawmaker tries to visit Taiwan.
The threat comes as Pelosi departs today for a tour through Asia that includes stops to Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Singapore.
Chinese propagandist Hu Xijin, editor of China’s jingoistic state-run Global Times, responded to news about Pelosi’s travels by issuing a threat on social media.
“If US fighter jets escort Pelosi’s plane into Taiwan, it is invasion,” Hu said. “The PLA has the right to forcibly dispel Pelosi’s plane and the US fighter jets, including firing warning shots and making tactical movement of obstruction. If ineffective, then shoot them down.”
There has been widespread bipartisan support in Congress for Pelosi to visit Taiwan, even as the Biden administration appears to be cowering in fear. China falsely claims that Taiwan belongs to it.
When will the west realise they have to show a united front and take a stand against Chinese Communist Party threats?
No one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house.
Unfortunately the United States and its military has been bound up by weak and feckless leadership, and the free world is worse off for it.
This is just my opinion.
