Chinese dragon is laying flat and it has Nancy Pelosis high heel on it's neck.
The American eagle is flapping rabidly pecking for a fight as it rots with diseases both from infection (COVID, monkey pox) and autoimmunity (race wars, political infighting, economic decline).
China made publicly and privately multiple threats that if Pelosi visits Taiwan there will be a response but they have dont nothing. Can't just walk back from that.
Why so impatient? It's been like 15 minutes into an international crisis. You already want it to be over? China's only starting... and that applies to everything, not just Taiwan.

All the current events and actions were preflop bets. What are people on about.

There was never an option of shooting her down which would be the only way to prevent her from landing if the US persisted.

China shooting it down would be a declaration and initiation of war with the US. China tried to get the US to back off using a show and the US didn't back off. Raise and reraise, three bet, four bet, five bet lol and so on... US didn't fold and now the flop comes out - China wants to have exercises around Taiwan potentially a pretense for AR. PLA would need weeks to build up the proper preparations for an occupational war. It would be fucking difficult to pull off seeing as Taiwan is an island and it's not like PLA can march in. Taiwan is also considerably more high tech than Ukraine. But on the bright side it is also much more difficult to arm and supply unlike Ukraine.

Perhaps, but that's nowhere near the cope of Finland joining NATO and thinking it's safe.

Seeing how poorly Russia is doing in Ukraine i'm not personally too worried.

Russia has now lost over 5000 vehicles in their three day war and have all but emptied their garrisons near Finland... they made similar threts towards Finland as China did against Pelosi.

Now we see reality.

A response from the foreign ministry:

【中华人民共和国外交部声明:8月2日,美国国会众议长佩洛西不顾中方强烈反对和严正交涉,窜访中国台湾地区,严重违反一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报规定,严重冲击中美关系政治基础,严重侵犯中国主权和领土完整,严重破坏台海和平稳定,向“台独”分裂势力发出严重错误信号。中方对此坚决反对,严厉谴责,已向美方提出严正交涉和强烈抗议。

Translation
In disregard of China's strong opposition and Serious objection, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan region of China, seriously violating the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-U.S. joint communiques. , seriously undermining the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait and sending a serious wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. The Chinese side firmly opposes and strongly condemns this, and has lodged solemn representations and strong protests with the US side.


Sooooo more warnings?
