I guess it's better late than never that China is giving the US a taste of their own medicine. This is what they should be doing all the time including having their own reporters reporting at the scene. This is making the news in the US because no one is suppose to mock the US and China has complied until now and hopefully from now on... relentlessly. I'll predict now if China continues to have their journalists do to the US/West what Western journalists do to China, they'll be arresting Chinese journalists helping to further the narrative that the West doesn't believe in their own values.
They’ve already arrested a journalist citing some bs reason when he was just asking questions; clearly the Anglo five eyes express cultural orientalist tropes such as “face”.
Jaishankar has hit back against Soros; guess the anglos expected the Indians to do a repeat of 19th century loyal sepoys and fight the Russians as they did the Chinese

Wang Yi had to practically pull Scholz into the handshake. I saw the video and Scholz stretched out his arm to stay as far away as possible. Wang Yi had to use his other hand to prop Scholz's limp arm up like he was a mannequin.

If this were Chinese, what would they point out how it's not stealthy...?
China Renaissance reports that billionaire CEO Fan Bao has not been able to be contacted for the past 2 days. Speculated that this is related to the investigation of Didi’s US IPO. Did he run?
“Bao has not shown up at his office and has been unreachable for two days, Caixin, a China-based financial news outlet, reported on Thursday.
Caixin also reported that Cong Lin, China Renaissance’s president, has been under investigation by authorities for months.”

Both Soros & Jaishankar are egotistical butt hurts. One cannot tolerate any move against his empire, the other cannot tolerate any negative remarks against his master genocidal maniac Modi. Maybe they should come out of the closet and settle down with each other. Perfect couple
I don't think it changes anything, not by a long-shot, nothing, nada.
The criteria for mainland China to invade Taiwan, always the same, which I forget. One is declaration of independence, another is internal chaos, another is a foreign invasion, then I kind of remember that they said they would invade if Taiwan develops nukes, and there are probably couple of other reasons nowadays, blah blah blah.
Publicity stunts by the Americans, is not one of the reasons.
Will this look bad? Sure it will. For that day and the day after. Then everyone going to forget about it.
This is not like 20 or 30 ago, where the Tai Du was trying to come out in the open. The already out in the open, and yet, we still at the same place.
=========== ===========
This is what I believe is going on.
After the Pelosi visit, not much has changed at all, other than the military situation, politically inside Taiwan, it is about the same, DDP less popular, independence not an immediate goal, status quo is good.
More visits by these nobodies is not going change this. Pelosi was a known item, and she couldn't do anything. In fact, her career derailed like a curse right that visit, lol.
So why more visits? Why are the Americans being with the non-stop provocations via publicity stunts?
That is why Blinken is saying that there will be a high level diplomatic meeting between the United States and China. When in fact, nothing of the sort is true. Saying there will be diplomacy, is just a cover to play these provocations games. The United States wants to provoke China, but talking the language of more diplomacy, gives the impression that they are not trying to provoke China, when they are trying to provoke China. They just want to appear to be reasonable for opinions in the East Asian region.
That is my take, of what is going on.
That is the question that interests me, is why the Americans are trying to be this provocative?
That I don't know, cannot even guess, I don't really follow politics, so I don't know.
I assume it is just related to that war in Europe.
It is kind of like one bogeyman is going to beat NATO, so to avoid demoralization of the allies, they need another bogeyman to rally together, which is China.
I think that will not move the needle if that is the case.

The Washington DC isn't done with trying to turn WestPac into a sea of destruction:
My guess is that Washington DC wants English Vegetable to purge the ROC military of any remaining pro-KMT and pro-unification elements, therefore fully transforming Taiwan into another Ukraine in the WestPac.
Therefore, I think Beijing should really kickstart preparation for a total war against the US-led NATO-plus/+ (here, 'plus/+' means US "allies" that are outside of NATO) - Enter into semi-wartime economy, increase military budget and personnel recruitment, expanding equipment and platform procurement, intensifying improvement and upgrade efforts, heighten military R&D efforts across the board, prepping the populace for worst-case scenarios during wartime, etc.
In the meantime, however, Beijing should also try to keep the conflict delayed for as long as possible.
