China is extremely displeased with the potential trip by USA Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, to Taiwan, and they are openly warning of military action if the Speaker dares to try landing in Taiwan without approval from, and transiting through, Beijing.
Pelosi is reported to have begun her Asia trip yesterday, with stops in various countries. One potential stop may be into Taiwan.
In the past, if any high ranking political official from any country, wanted to go to Taiwan, that official asks for permission from Beijing, then travel TO Beijing, and later heads to Taiwan. This is the way it has always been given that the world has a "one China" policy and that Taiwan is part of China.
Last year, however, U.S. officials began flying directly into Taiwan. To China, this was like getting a finger stuck in their eye. It was insulting and demeaning that the island was being treated as if it were its own country, which it is not.
So when it became public knowledge that Speaker Pelosi was planning an Asia trip, with a stop in Taiwan, China decided they'd had enough.
It was made known in China official state media that Beijing will not tolerate direct flights by foreign officials into Taiwan. The U.S. basically ignored those challenges.
China's "Global Times" newspaper, then began running a series of stories with accompanying editorials making clear a direct flight by Pelosi would not be tolerated.
In response, the Pentagon made known that the US Navy is setting-up concentric circles of "protection" for Pelosi's plane!
Not only does Pelosi plan to enter Taiwan without getting approval from, or transiting through Beijing, now the US military is saying they will provide military protection for here to actually do it! It's almost as though the U.S. no longer acknowledges that China is its own sovereign country, and it makes the rules.
The Pentagon announcement of military protection for Pelosi's plane caused even more backlash. Just yesterday, the top Editor of the 'Global Times" which is the mouthpiece of the China Communist Party, said the following:
While some may say "He's just an Editor giving a newspaper opinion" readers must understand that media in China is tightly controlled by the Communist Party. Absolutely nothing appears in China media unless it is approved by - or speaks for - the Communist Party. So while the remarks above appear in a newspaper, they are very much the actual positions of the China government.
In addition to that very blunt and direct warning of having Pelosi aircraft FIRED UPON, China's army began moving trainloads of Armor into Fujian Province, which is in mainland China, precisely opposite Taiwan:
Even more ominous, China's Navy announced sudden, unscheduled, LIVE FIRE naval exercises in the Taiwan Strait:
It is therefore clear that China has had quite enough of the US thinking it can do whatever it wants. There very well may be a serious confrontation over Pelosi's trip . . . if she tries to enter Taiwan.
CONFIRMED! Pelosi has taken off in a US Air Force C-40 aircraft, headed out toward the Pacific Ocean, as of early Saturday morning...
Something’s Wrong...Huh? Say What?

Seriously, we all are disappointed, displeased, with the likes of Pelosi, IMO!! That said, CCP must keep USA's rights, concerns, desires, in perspective!! Oh yes we can go to Taiwan, or where ever we like to communicate with our Allies; China is lucky they aren't sunk in the ocean from their Covid Diabolic chain of events to China's pure bullying filled delusions of thinking they own this, or that, in my opinion. We will just know, sea is the new gold. Greed is mans downfall, jealousy worse enemy
Play-ground Blue is new way to balance our view.
Perhaps this was a dream, or Déjà Vu?
Conclusion, IMO both Pelosi & CCP are two energies the world, the USA, has tolerated too long. Both need reined in, dealt with, and hopefully their antic's melt away somehow, right? What a more wonderful place on planet Earth it would be if some energy forms just dissipated into the sunset, or minded their own business perhaps!
Raining on our parade is our business, therefore enough is enough, pray for the child in them to behave, grow up, live in reality! We all are sick to death hearing about China thinking they are the only ones on the playground, or in Playground Blue! Playground Blue described in my poem, as only part of poem is shared:
You guessed it! New arena is deep and blue,
Lurking around, stealth water weaponry, hiding in the “Playground Blue”.
Hiding and seek from other submarines, they soon will play for keep. To win the game is keep quiet and low.......
Interesting informative Article filled with another Drama from across the Ocean.
