On a more side note, it is incredible how an 82 year old women managed to keep 100,000+ men up late at night waiting for her arrival!
She has balls ! What a grand entry with the whole world watching - there she is !!

did China have had military parity during Korean war.
we never demand full scale war or shoot down pelosi plane. but atleast show some courage.
Hmm it remains to be seen how PRC responds.
Shooting her down was the fantasy of American Republicans (and a subset at that) and a naughty Hu Xijin on a what can be considered a blunderous article... BUT an article from a man that is expected to write the kind of material he does.
In any case, the response is now in play. Give it some days/weeks before you write Xi off.
It will be an interesting week...
I expected better from you. You know perfectly well China isn't prepared to go to war and decisively defeat the US now, that's the only consideration here. Stupid stunts like this are ultimately meaningless - Pelosi is not and cannot declare Taiwan independent, and she's not carrying a load of nuclear weapons to station on Taiwan. Those are the actual red lines, not silly theatrics like this.
The only thing that matters is that China keeps growing in power until it's ready to boot the US from the Pacific.
LMAO why is every one here disappointed?
Guys it's only the beginning.
You always talk about how patient you are that you want to wait 10 more years before invading Taiwan, and now you can't even wait few hours or days to see what will happen?
Where you expecting Xi to hold a victory parade in Taipei right this moment or something?

Live humilation by Reuters. Livestreaming her already.
Doing nothing at all would be highly damaging to China and the taiwan issue.
Not only would it signal that PLA red lines and warnings mean nothing, but it would signal that other states can interfere with the taiwan issue at will. It will embolden the green camp to make even more overt independence moves.
I'm not sure the pro (being able to continue saying china is committed to peace) is worth the con.

indeed the Americans have succeeded in salami slicing. How valuable and worthwhile this slice is remains to be seen.
