Dude, no matter how we try to spin it, it's a huge loss of face for the Chinese leadership and a blunder by their PR team. They announced publicly and almost daily for the past week continously that they will take all measures necessary(including military)against Pelosi visit to Taiwan which is a blatant breach of China's sovereignty . Yet Pelosi still called CCPs bluff and went ahead with the visit with no consequences whatsoever. Lol if that's not a huge slap in the face then I don't know what kinda face Xi Jinping has. Its an humiliation actually and will only show even China's potential allies that if they can't even protect their own core interests and sovereignty then there's no way they can even provide help to them in tile of crisis against a great power like the US.I am disagree here, it will be seen even weaker if China doesnt make strong statement over Pelosi visit.
No body will challenge US for the next one decade in term of military. If Chinese people think CCP should shot down Pelosi plane than Chine citizens are really dumb
What I can say CCP should be seen as regime that act with reasonable thinking by not shooting Pelosi plane. If the communication biro is clever, they should exploit this fact, of course by using non government analysts from universities
Can you imagine Pelosi making such a visit to say Crimea after Putins/Russia military ?
The fact of the matter is that she will be far more wary of doing that to Russia, since we know Russia has a record of being aggressive and warlike and an invasive/colonial power, so they can be very volatile and belligerant, since they are the ones usually doing the invasions/agression/provocations not the other way round. Lol In fact if Russia was Chiba, there will be no Taiwan today in the first place, they would have been invaded long ago. Lol
As I said, it was a huge blunder by Xi propaganda machine to hype up this issue and publicly proclaim they will take all measures necessary to deal with Pelosi visit, knowing there is nothing they will do ..we all knew CCP wouldn't do shit to her or any US military escorting her. So I guess CCP thought that threatening military force and coercion was going to stop her trip . They really miscalculated. They have actually embrassed themselves publicly and internationally. Even those i know are pro China adlitted its an embarrassment and loss of face for CCP ..
Kast tile such a senior US official visuted Taiwan was about 30 years ago if i remember well. That's when China was still weak and emerging from maoism and poverty and opening up to the world. Many young Chinese who have grown with a more wealthy powerful image of their country this generation obviously feel dejected i assume, since they actualky believed the CCP will do something drastic against this visit. They have been embarrassed and smacked back to reality which i think is a good thing . I actually support CCP policy of just doing some symbolic sanctions and military exercises to safe face. Afterall, peace is good. There was no point in hyping this issue and not doing shit, thats the only area i would say they messed up.
lool
Agree, this has been another humiliation to be honest, not too dufferent from Taiwan strait crises of 1996. Guess just like then, the US is just showing themand countries in the region again who is still the boss in the region. Apart from that i dont see the reason for this visit..That might have been a reasonable argument if China had not tried to bully US by officially threatening to shoot down a US congresswomans plane. They should have stated that they are being reasonable before the visit.
Should have had that reasonableness excuse before the visit and threats, instead now that they have been humiliated and their weakness of failing to follow up on their threats laid bare, they said China will not allow Pelosi to land in Taiwan and their military will react, we all are witness to what happened.
Pelosi come, Pelosi go.
Now China can shoot as many rockets as they like, but when her plane was in the air, and two US carriers in the straits, no Chinese plane or ship was ever seen challenging them.
Nobody cares now how many rockets they shoot in the empty waters now.
Murica!
