China had issued multiple threats related to the trip, prompting Taiwan to call back soldiers that were on leave and begin preparing them for a potential war with the Chinese Communist Party.
“We would like to tell the United States once again that China is standing by, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army will never sit idly by, and China will take resolute responses and strong countermeasures to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said during a daily press briefing prior to her arrival, according to a report from CBS News.

China’s military vowed to launch ‘targeted military actions’ in response to Pelosi’s Taiwan visit.
“The Chinese People’s Liberation Army is on high alert and will launch a series of targeted military operations to counter this, resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and resolutely thwart external interference and ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist attempts,” PLA spokesman Wu Qian said in a statement condemning the visit, according to Insider.

#WWIII trended on Twitter after Pelosi landed in Taiwan.
China will do NOTHING. This is a pre planned political publicity stunt. Slobbering brain dead biden talked with Xi Jinping for two hours before this trip and they set it up for political coverage in an attempt to save them the CommieCrats in the midter elections and that too will FAIL.
China has made so many threats, they have to do something to avoid losing face. This makes the situation very dangerous.
XI IS JUST ANOTHER WAR MONGER PUNK WHO WOULD DESTROY HIS COUNTRY TO MAKE A POINT. WHO MANY MILLIONS HAS HE MURDERED WHO KNOWS, AND HE HAS SLAVE LABOR MAKING EVERYTHING FROM TOYS TO LABRON JOHNSONS SHOES HE MAKES MILLIONS, AND HE PAYS HUNTER BIDEN, MILLIONS TO GET CLOSE TO HIS DAD, WHO GETS HIS 10% AND PROBABLY GIVES OUR SECRETS TO THIS GUY FOR HIS 30 PIECES OF SILVER.
Pelosi is playing a dangerous “game” of playing at being president. Unfortunately, other men and women will pay the cost of her game if WWIII breaks out over this idiot.
