Very different read outs of the call from both sides as wellSurprised this haven’t been touched upon. Biden and Xi had a very terse 2 hour exchange apparently over Pelosi’s scheduled trip to Taiwan.
USD Ronald Reagan for Taiwan but I don’t think Chinese will back down like the did at the turn of the century.

I see Pelosi didn't include Taiwan on her official itinerary... perhaps she goes there as an individual rather than in any official capacity?
I see the massive usa funding for semi conductor factories as basically usa realising its a matter of when not of china takes full control.
https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-...china-invades-taiwan-agency-chief-2022-07-30/ZURICH, July 30 (Reuters) - The head of the Swiss agency that implements economic sanctions expects the neutral country to adopt any punitive measures the European Union launches against China if it invades Taiwan, she said in a newspaper interview.
If countries have sanctions on both Russia and China - it would be economic suicide. We’ve seen the chaos that was caused by the delay of goods. Imagine if they had stopped manufacturing. Apple can pull out of Russia but not China. And by the same token - hundreds and maybe thousands of other companies. It would be an economic catastrophe.

Rumor is that China will try to establish a no fly zone over Taiwan after she lands.So...Pelosi likely to visit Taiwan according to today's reports. China's response will be interesting to say the least.
Carrier Strike Group 5 may already be in the vicinity between Japan and Taiwan by then. We will see if the PLAAF still wants to enforce a no fly zone if Super Hornets fly around.Rumor is that China will try to establish a no fly zone over Taiwan after she lands.
Pelosie is about to land in Taipei. China will do nothng me thinks.

China is just like Russia, all bluff no substance. They’ll do feck all and it’s about the time these regimes get exposed. It’s very easy to hide behind a fear spreading propaganda cloud but when challenged they go back with a tail between their legs.
They surely won't start a war they know will only adversely affect them (assuming they're not totally deluded, like Russia).
In China's case, it's a long-standing habit of wanting to save face at all costs (for domestic consumption) even if it means going to such extremes. I know that the notion of saving face/avoiding shame matters a lot in Asian cultures, but it is a whole different level with China.I mean why is every country basically Andrew Tate? Insecure, posturing, all talk and no trousers.

Yes, they invaded Ukraine because they expected no pushback Enstein. When confronted these dictatorships fold, why do you think Russia is not targeting weapon deliveries from the west despite all the nuclear fear mongering at the beginning? China will invade Taiwan unless they see a strong stance from the US, same thing should have happened with the Ukraine and Russia would have never invaded.russia invaded ukraine. you would hope that china isn't just like russia or else you'll see an invasion of taiwan.
you said china is like russia and all bluff. i'm saying russia invaded ukraine and so clearly wasn't all bluff. if china takes russia's lead, then they'll invade taiwan.Yes, they invaded Ukraine because they expected no pushback Enstein.
