"For her, it's a capstone on a decades-long career of US-China relations. She knows she's not going to be Speaker next year, probably right, and she might not even be in Congress next year, so she sees this as her last chance, she sees this as a legacy item." Rogin, who writes column after column for the Post lobbying for war, said the trip is justified because, "We have a principle here, which is that Americans can go to other democracies when they want, okay? And dictatorships that are near those democracies can't tell you not to and punish you if you go."
Chinese state media commentator Hu Xijin of the Global Times said Pelosi's plane should be shot down if it's escorted by by US fighter jets as it's an "invasion." "If US fighter jets escort Pelosi’s plane into Taiwan, it is invasion," Xijin said in a tweet that has since been censored by Twitter. "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." ![]() The Global Times also released a piece noting how China's People's Liberation Army made a post on social media stating, "Preparing for War!"
"'Preparing for war!' This short social media post by the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) 80th Group Army generated over 300,000 thumbs-up in 12 hours on Friday, amid high morale among Chinese soldiers ahead of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the PLA and escalating tensions across the Taiwan Straits," the Global Times reported.
