So we won't see this happen it seems
If Pelosi backs down again lots of PLAAF guys will be stomping their feet saying that's twice they've been cheated out of glory.
PLARF would be like get in line buddy.
Someone said something on that tweet that made me think:
We previously discussed that
fresh four lists of demands. Not interfering with China's internal affairs is obviously in there but more interesting than weather Biden and co are actually working on the list is why Wang Yi gave them the list on their last meeting. I can only surmise that CPC leadership see US as already having played out all their cards. They have no tricks left up their sleeve and Xi wanted them to know he sees right through it. Hence they were given basically the shell of an unequal treaty and were told "you will sign here eventually".
So Pelosi's announcement was indeed trying to create a card out of nothing. As we know from
last time with Kelly Craft it was also US military that told state that it was a bad idea and should be called off. I'm thus not surprised Biden said "the military says a @SpeakerPelosi trip to Taiwan is not a good idea right now" as it's highly likely Milley and co again spoke up saying it's a bad idea and PLA will open a can of whoop ass if the trip happens.
My only fear is does the White House have enough political pull to put the foot down based on Pentagon's advice. Basically who listens to who between Pelosi and Biden.
