Chinese Defense Ministry: China ready to take military action if Pelosi visits Taiwan

The irritation of the Chinese authorities over the repeatedly announced visit of the speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan is growing every day. Chinese Ministry of Defense spokesman Tan Kefei says that if a third person in the official hierarchy of the American leadership arrives in Taiwan, Beijing will take decisive measures, including military action, to prevent external interference in the country's sovereignty.

Earlier, the Financial Times newspaper cited the words of a representative of the Chinese Ministry of Defense, in which Tan Kefei directly warns Washington that Beijing is ready to start a military conflict if Pelosi's visit to Taiwan does take place. Moreover, the publication noted that this was not just a private statement by a representative of the Chinese military department, but “a serious warning from the Joe Biden administration.”

If, nevertheless, the American side continues to act in its own way, the Chinese army will not sit idly by and take all measures to stop external interference and separatist attempts to separate Taiwan, and resolutely stand up for state sovereignty and territorial integrity.

- referring to sources in the leadership of the PRC, the newspaper quoted Kefei's words.

According to Bloomberg, Pelosi may visit Taiwan in early August during a tour of Asia. So far, the official plans of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives for a visit to Taipei have not been announced. It seems that there is no consensus in the US leadership whether it is worth checking how real the "last Chinese threat" is. On the eve of Joe Biden, referring to the position of the Pentagon, the trip of the speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan does not seem to be a good idea at the moment.

The situation around Pelosi's visit and Beijing's loud statements about a tough reaction to Washington's hostile demarche seem to be greatly straining the White House. Not without reason, US President Joe Biden intends to discuss this issue by telephone with Chinese President Xi Jinping in the coming days.

According to The New York Times, the events in Ukraine were led by the American authorities to believe in the reality of the scenario with the Chinese military operation. Washington is now carefully analyzing the defensive capabilities of Taiwan's armed forces. At the same time, Washington does not refuse to supply arms to Taipei, thereby further confusing and exacerbating the situation around the island.

Biden adheres to the principle of supporting the "protection of sovereignty" of Taipei, including to show firmness to voters ahead of the midterm congressional elections. American experts believe that among the many disagreements between Beijing and Washington, it is the Taiwan issue that is the most difficult to resolve.

This stuffed animal will not go to Taiwan. The Americans won't take the risk. When it smells like fried, they turn on the back.

I agree with you! The beauty of the situation is also that the United States is positioning itself as the strongest boy in the yard!

[Shurik70]

The funny thing is that the United States themselves have put themselves in a position where it is impossible not to lose face.
Nancy will not go - and everyone will note that the Americans can be frightened.
Will go - and if the Chinese really take Taiwan? The United States will not help the islanders there.
And everyone will note that the Americans do not keep their word, and that their visits end badly.
True, if the Americans nevertheless go, and the Chinese limit themselves to trade duties instead of war, China will lose face.

Last time, Pelosi canceled a visit to Taiwan after claiming to be a carrier of the coronavirus. I believe that this time too, judging by the reaction of Beijing, she will “prudently” catch monkeypox and also cancel the visit.

Directly removed from the tongue!
Pelosi will drift off for her own skin and, at worst, pretend to be sick, but she won’t go to Taiwan for sure!
If the Chinese capture her, they will bury her in the Chinese cemetery from the prison hospital! No one needs an exchange of 82-year-old Pelosi in the United States due to her old age, and Washington is not subject to it!
I don't think Nancy is such a fool as a fool that she doesn't understand it herself.

Then it turns out that the scorched cat hid in the bushes from the Chinese dragon... But many in Asia and the East are watching the fall of the hegemon...

[The black]

It turns out like this ... The Americans understand that the threat of China is quite real. And, by the way, a good reason to start solving the Taiwan issue. Not in vain, after all, China, through the mouth of the Minister of Defense, recently stated that if a military path is required to return Taiwan, they will go for it.
In general, to be honest, it would be interesting to see how events will develop if the visit does happen (although I repeat, the probability, in my opinion, is extremely small)

[Nickelium]

China will give the back one. Express a hundred thousand some kind of concern and will not do anything. The Chinese are weak in spirit.

It seems that they are already doing a good face, with a bad game. Now the states are not up to the conflict with China. Therefore, there will be a telephone conversation between "grandfather Joe" and uncle Xi. The "grandfather" will work in reverse.

You won't envy the dragon either - blowing your nostrils is one thing, giving a tough answer is quite another. For good, announce a naval exercise with rocket fire and close the Taiwan area for a month, including the sky. The Yankees, if you poke your head, automatically become aggressors ...

[The black]

I agree. So let's see what's next. On the one hand, the Americans, giving back, will show their weakness. If China, in the event of the arrival of Pelosi, does not fulfill its threats, then there will be trash in general. Everyone will understand that the Chinese are only capable of "the last Chinese warning." Retreating is not an option for China. In short, the back of the Americans turns into a slap in the face for them, the back of the Chinese is a delicious kick in the ass ....

[RED_ICE]

It's like hitting the CPR))

[Nickelium]

Stepping on is not an option for them either. A military defeat will rob them of Tibet, Hong Kong, Macau, Guangdong. Any move here is zungzwang. This is a problem due to the multi-vector policy that China loved to pursue so much.

He won’t. I won’t say how they will act, but they will try to pull up Japan and South Korea as a guarantor, with subsequent involvement in the conflict. Well, Pelosi will be awarded the title, the main fighter for democracy, posthumously

[Egoza]

All the same, Pelosi should think carefully. And then "cherchet la femme" can end badly, first of all for her.

In officially Chinese airspace, they will be detained for separatism. And the piloska will go to kitchu. All rank rank, strictly according to the law. And in the United States there are a lot of such fools, they will find another for themselves.

[DymOk_v_dYmke]

Chinese Ministry of Defense spokesman Tan Kefei states that in case of arrival third person in the official hierarchy of the American leadership to Taiwan, Beijing will take decisive measures, up to military action, to prevent external interference in the country's sovereignty.

Strange dances.
They would say that they would not allow visits.
Up to destruction when trying to visit.

[isv000]

... the Chinese army ... will resolutely stand up for state sovereignty and territorial integrity

So the moment of truth has come: continue to sit by the river and look sternly at the water, or answer for the words, but, for this, you have to hit first, as the great Putin said!

[iouris]

China has not used force for a long time.

[zombirusrev]

And ... It's been a long time since .. the last time they had friction with Vietnam in 1979, they quite fought themselves ..

[Ripap]

Yes, notably China then got in the teeth.

[Gennady Zavalov_2]

Well, then Vietnam fucked them. I just served in November 3d. urgent in the fleet, I was afraid that they would suddenly be called again, it worked out, the Vietnamese did well, they did it themselves. And before that, the amers were well shaved.

[ximkim]

Um .. China will not accept anything.

[Deep Diver]

If the Chinese shoot down the plane with Pelosi, it will be tantamount to a declaration of war. I doubt very much that Winnie the Pooh will go for it

[Rusticolus]

What if they get delayed? Officially, this is their airspace. And on board the amers have faces suspected of separatism. Forced to land on their territory. And if they start to rock the boat, well, Pinocchio themselves.

[Deep Diver]

Do you have any idea about geography? How can they do this? Especially since:
1. The plane may not have enough fuel to fly around the island.
2. It will almost certainly be accompanied by Taiwan Air Force fighters.

[Rusticolus]

1. There will be 700 kilometers around the island over neutral waters. From the mainland and back. So enough with a margin. And that's not counting the AUG. Which China has the same.
2. It's even better. In the event of an air battle, who will then figure out whose rocket flew into the sawmill plane?

[Deep Diver]

1. Kerosene for the extra 700 kilometers is taken from the air?
2. Just the fact of the attack will be important.

[Rusticolus]

1 do you think it will be a pity for China for the sake of such a thing?
2 for whom? On those who invaded sovereign space? The Americans did not recognize Taiwan as independent. Formally, this is a pure invasion of China. And the Chinese have all the rights put at the same time.

[Deep Diver]

1. What does China have to do with it? The liner, on which Pelosi or someone else will fly, does not have an infinite supply of kerosene.
2. Recognized - not recognized, but they also maintain a relationship with him, and supply weapons

[Rusticolus]

Stop fiddling. Agree that the pilosk flies into a trap. Or your religion doesn't allow it.

[Deep Diver]

Stop raving, Winnie the Pooh won't do anything to Pelosi

[Andrey VOV]

In addition to the military response, China can set the US economic eggs in such a way that it will not seem small

[sifgame]

He will not be able to do anything, holding down the eggs of the USA, China will automatically do it to himself.

[sifgame]

will warn for the thousandth time and will continue to sit on the shore, waiting for the corpse of the enemy

[Maluck]

I’m wondering why all sorts of borrels and scholts with macrons go to Ukraine as if they were at home ??? Maybe you should give an ultimatum too?

[Ripap]

Come on, everything will end, as always, with the 1001st latest Chinese warning. It's one thing to rivet beautiful tanks, airplanes and steamboats, but to fight on them is completely different, the Italians will not let you lie. China is a nation of officials, not warriors. Confucianism, all things.

[Rusticolus]

Rather, the Americans will piss. How did their last AUG voyage towards the DPRK end there? They shouted from afar, as they are now, that's right soon, they pile it up - they pile it up. And then quietly, tail between their legs, they shrugged off to their home. Then the redhead also went to apologize.

[YarSer88]

And this is the last Chinese warning
Fly, Pelotka, we need a second front

[Saboteur_Navy]

It's time for China to start, now is the most favorable moment until the United States can strengthen the 7th fleet with ships of the 6th fleet and pull the air force from Europe, and most importantly, strategic bombers are smeared with a thin layer

Let China take risks, you see Russia will be pressed less

Well, who else is separated from whom is a separate question. The Republic of China has existed since 1911.

From the mainland and the UN, here it’s who orders the largest.

No wonder Nancy Pelosi flew to Italy on vacation, probably enlisted the support of the "great European schemers" represented by the Italians in the fight against Chinese expansion in Europe (as well as Russia), and it was not for nothing that Mario Draghi resigned as Prime Minister of Italy, probably refused in support of the Speaker of the US House of Congress. But the "democratic play" begun in 2020, Nancy Pelosi (as a representative of the Democratic Party) decided to play to the end and act as a battering ram of Chinese policy towards the Taiwanese administration, "to close the Chinese machine-gun embrasure" with her chest, testing the stamina and determination of the Chinese character. It turns out that dementia in the US Democratic Party is contagious, which is fraught with the start of a hot conflict between the US and the People's Republic of China.

And I think that it is China that will give back. He has always given up, and now he will. Like, let's wait some more until the corpse of the enemy floats. Like, there's no hurry.
IMHO, Taiwan is the most important property for the US. More important than Saudi Arabia. And even more important than Israel.
