If Pelosi visits Taiwan , then war is a possibility

China has issued a warning, using the phrase
"不会坐视不管"

Meaning "We will not sit idly by"

The same warning was issued at the Americans in 1950 when they crossed the 38th parallel, resulting in China joining the Korean War pic.twitter.com/SP0EwZ8FCu

US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will visit Asian countries including Singapore and Japan in her trip to the region, according to a statement from her office that skipped any mention of a possible stopover in Taiwan.

Pelosi will lead a congressional delegation that will also visit Malaysia and South Korea, according to a statement on Sunday. The trip will focus on mutual security, economic partnership and democratic governance in the Indo-Pacific region, it said.

Reports that her travel would include a stop in Taiwan had sparked a furious reaction in China, which regards the self-governing island as part of its territory. Beijing has warned there will be consequences if Pelosi visits, including a defense ministry statement that implied China might use military force in response.
