This is after nominating his brother for the house of lords a couple of year ago.
Boris Johnson made a lot of people members of the house of lords during his term and even after that. His donors, aides, friends... Some were in their 20s. And remember the membership is lifetime and comes with a lot of privileges. Yes the UK's upper house has its members there for lifetime and not-elected.

More China fear mongering? Or are the US and the DPP preparing for a provocation or false flag to lure the PLA into some kind of conflict?


You dare fire the first shot?


Based.


Which also means, don't f**k with us!
The reply has deeper meaning. It means PRC will not negotiate with the ROC government, as no such government exists. The only possible negotiation is party to party. The KMT is the legal counterpart, so DPP is officially considered an armed criminal organization.

Tsai visiting the US will arguably be more significant to Beijing than McCarthy visiting Taiwan. Remember that the Third Taiwan Strait Crisis was caused in part by then President Lee’s visit to the United States to speak at Cornell University. Will be interesting to see Beijing's response
This, ROC president visiting US is big news, if it happens expect PLA reaction on the same level as Pelosi visit if not more.

But besides that, consider the implication behind this news:
1. Someone over in the states came up with the idea that "if we get Tsai to visit us instead send Americans to Taiwan it won't anger China as much"
2. People in charge listened to that idea and thought it was a good idea
3. US did this, because they wanted to avoid angering China

Well they're going to learn a thing or two from PLA then. But this news tells you the quality (or lack thereof) of decision making in US regarding China.

I guess technically the civil war is fought between CPC and KMT. As opposed to PRC vs ROC since there was no PRC pre-1949. But then what does that make DPP exactly? Maybe a third party that joins the civil war?
