For the record, CCP propagandist says PLA can shoot Nancy Pelosi's plane and US fighter jets out of the sky if she goes into Taiwan

Nancy Pelosi is getting ready for a big trip to Asia, and inquiring minds are dying to know if she will be making a stop in Taiwan:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is expected to depart for Asia on Friday, beginning a diplomatic trip with the potential of upsetting the Chinese Communist Party.

Pelosi is scheduled to visit several allied Asian countries during her multi-day tour of the continent.

One possible destination with major ramifications is Taiwan — officially known as the Republic of China. The island has been expecting a visit from Pelosi, but recent threats from the People’s Republic of China have drawn global attention to the potential visit.

Threats from China? What does that mean, exactly?

Is that referring to stuff like this from former Global Times editor-in-chief Hu Xijin?

Beg your pardon?

So China will shoot Nancy’s plane down? 🧐 https://t.co/IDu3Abxb7R

That’s what it sounds like they’re saying, yes.

So, according to a high-profile ChiCom propagandist, the People’s Liberation Army is prepared to shoot Nancy Pelosi’s plane — and the U.S. fighter jets escorting her — out of the sky if she gets too close to Taiwan, which, last time we checked, is not actually part of China?

And of course, the CCP's propaganda mouthpiece puts it even more bluntly.

Taiwan is an independent country, & if they want to allow American military aircraft to land there, that's none of Beijing's goddamn business. Capisce?https://t.co/YCZAN87F7t

Someone should ask Tom Nichols what he thinks about this. @redsteeze https://t.co/I8LNU8cyT9

You can ask him if you want to, but something tells us he’s too busy writing his umpteenth piece for The Atlantic about how Donald Trump is evil and we should leave Joe Biden alone.

We’d like to think that the Chinese government is just trying to sound all big and tough and scary but knows that in reality, their threat is a mistake and making good on it would be an even bigger one. But it’d be nice if someone in the U.S. government would be willing to make that clear to them.

What will the #BidenAdministration do about this? https://t.co/DBUzLpMOEI

Seems like something they should address, at the very least.

Seems like something Twitter might want to address as well.

Funny how @Twitter is allowing this clear call for violence to stay on their site. I guess Twitter is find with Communist governments calling for the assassination of US politicians. https://t.co/XDAGLtpXgS
