If US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visits the island of Taiwan, as some media have reported, China will definitely respond with “resolute and forceful measures,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Thursday. Chinese experts said China will and must retaliate; otherwise the US will make more provocations in the future, and the consequences that could be caused by the potential visit would bring a “disruptive impact” on the foundation of China-US relations. The reports that “Pelosi is scheduled to arrive in Taiwan on Sunday” after her trip to Japan later this week in a show of support for Taiwan amid “concerns over cross-Straits relations following the Russia-Ukraine crisis” have been seen on Taiwan media and Fuji News Network on Thursday, but neither the office of Pelosi nor the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authority on the island have confirmed or denied such reports.

    Can someone explain to me why it would be such big deal if she goes to Taiwan? I would have thought that she would get eaten alive there. Also, what would "resolute and forceful measures be?

      Probably forceful reunification, since more US involvement threatens the possibility for a slow peaceful reunification. Sounds like she understood if KomradeK is correct and she didn’t actually get COVID.
