Jinping Pong

China claims that the Taiwan Strait
Does not divorce it from its mate
But China's been busted
It can not be trusted
Since it reneged on Hong Kong's fate!

Oh, how true, Rico. I think the Chinese had better think twice about being nasty to Taiwan because they welcomed Nancy.

I heard it last night, every word you said Rico. Professor John Yoo offered analysis of US-China relations. Nancy Pelosi has landed on the island of Taiwan after weeks of international speculation and threats of retaliation. WILL THE US BACK TAIWAN, MILITARILY?

Well said, Rico! I don’t know that much about the history there but find it intriguing that Nancy Pelosi has the gumption to make a stop where she’s been told not to go…

Nancy Pelosi is a post-eighty year old woman of considerable stature, and, I would say she knows what she is doing. Not many women of her age would even think of undertaking an extensive overseas trip like this. Go, Nancy!!!

Newt Gingrich visited Taiwan in 1997, so only China is make "a big deal" out of Pelosi's visit. China agreed to make no changes to Hong Kong laws for 50-years, yet has already changed and introduced legislation without even a slap on the wrist from the United Nations - or the UK, so Taiwan would quickly suffer the same fate. Thank you for reading and commenting! Aloha!
