US Treasury secretary denies recession​

Janet Yellen has tried to head off an economic report that may confirm that the American economy is contracting

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has denied that the American economy is in recession, even though a report this week may confirm it by the most common definition, saying the nation is instead going through a “necessary and appropriate” slowdown.

“This is not an economy that’s in recession, but we’re in a period of transition in which growth is slowing, and that’s necessary and appropriate,” Yellen said. “We need to be growing at a steady and sustainable pace, so there is a slowdown, and businesses can see that. And that’s appropriate, given that people now have jobs and we have a strong labor market.

As a matter of fact. The US economy is transitory. Just like inflation.

“This is not an economy that’s in recession, but we’re in a period of transition in which growth is slowing, and that’s necessary and appropriate,” Yellen said.

American state media when a war breaks out be like:

"fact check, Chinese and Russian sources claim the US navy is being destroyed, the claim is false, our navy is in a transitory state between having many (outdated) aircraft carriers into a force with no aircraft carriers. These are normal changes that follow the development trend of military technology, which is appropriate and necessary."

"in other news: after clashing and overwhelming communist forces, our troops are now advancing at full speed towards the East Pacific"

According to the Financial Times, China has privately issued warnings to the US presidential administration.

China strengthens warning to US about Pelosi’s planned Taiwan trip​

China has issued stark private warnings to the Biden administration about the upcoming trip to Taiwan by Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the US House of Representatives, triggering alarm bells among White House officials who oppose her visit.

Six people familiar with the Chinese warnings said they were significantly stronger than the threats that Beijing has made in the past when it was unhappy with US actions or policy on Taiwan.

China has publicly threatened “strong measures” if Pelosi proceeds with the planned visit in August. But one person said China had expressed “stronger opposition” to the US in private than before. Several other people familiar with the situation said the private rhetoric went even further by suggesting a possible military response.

Beijing has not been explicit about its potential responses. Its military could try to block Pelosi from landing in Taiwan or take other actions to impede her visit, such as using fighter jets to intercept her US military aircraft.

Several people said the White House was trying to assess whether China was making serious threats or engaging in brinkmanship in an attempt to pressure Pelosi to abandon her trip.

US national security adviser Jake Sullivan and other senior National Security Council officials oppose the trip because of the risk of escalating tension across the Taiwan Strait, according to two people familiar with the debate.
...................................

People briefed on national security affairs in Taipei said the risk that Beijing might markedly step up military aggression in response to Pelosi’s visit was more pronounced than last year given the rising tension.

“Previously the gangster was wearing a suit, but now he is directly taking the knife out,” said a senior Taiwanese official.

Biden's lies getting exposed by Global Times

Some Chinese experts said that if the Biden administration is determined to oppose it, the trip can't be made as such high-level visit needs the coordination with the administration in terms of security.

It is time to see if US President Joe Biden can fulfill his promises on US-China relations especially on the Taiwan question by dissuading this visit, which is widely seen as a severe provocation that could trigger an overwhelming response from the Chinese side, some experts warned,

Spoiler alert, he won't because he doesn't want so. Imagine believing Biden's "promises"

and the reaction of the Chinese side could become a game-changer for cross-Straits

It is believed the Chinese side will act on what it has said, given the sensitivity and severity of the matter, and its reaction to her trip could be the most severe in decades, marking a game-changer for the relations between the mainland and Taiwan, Lü said.

Popcorn already on the way

US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan recently told the Aspen Security Forum that the US policy concerning the Taiwan question remains unchanged and Biden remains committed to a policy of "strategic ambiguity" regarding the matter, according to media reports.

Lies

"Perhaps, the White House is not truly opposed to such a visit, but they don't want Pelosi to interrupt the Biden administration's agenda on the Taiwan question," Diao Daming, an associate professor at the Renmin University of China in Beijing, told the Global Times on Sunday.

This is correct and also matches with why Biden was "misspeaking" about Taiwan so many times

If Pelosi visits Taiwan, no one will believe it is because Biden "cannot control her." People are more likely to believe that her visit is part of Washington's tactic of "good cop/bad cop," Hu Xijin, a commentator for the Global Times, recently said.

Correct

He also suggested that China establish a no-fly zone over Taiwan, or that the People's Liberation Army should send military aircraft to accompany Pelosi's plane when it enters the island and fly cross the island

I have a feeling the whole thing was just a ruse to distract from other issues.

I really dun see Pelosi as the type to play a game of chicken. She already got the warning from the us military and likely from the POTUS himself. She wants to risk her life for some one on one time with vegetable English? How is she gonna enjoy her vast amount of wealth from all that shady insider dealings in her short remaining years left when she is dead. Anything can happen in a confrontation. As others said, something else is going on here.
