China Warns ‘Get Ready for World War 3’ If Pelosi Sets Foot in Taiwan

China gears up for World War 3 as Nancy Pelosi threatens to visit Taiwan

The Chinese government has warned that they will launch World War 3 against America if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi follows through on her promise to visit Taiwan.

“Get ready for war!” read a message posted by China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) 80th Group over the proposed visit to Taiwan.

China’s Army’s war message over the potential US visit to Taiwan generated over 300,000 thumbs-up in just 12 hours, creating “high morale among Chinese soldiers” according to Global Times.

Wearechange.org reports: Below: reportedly the message in question appearing on a PLA channel Friday on the popular Chinese social media app Weibo:

GT further reminds its audience that, possibly corresponding with a Pelosi Taiwan visit (assuming she goes through with it), the country will celebrate the 95th anniversary of China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) military…

The 80th Group Army posted a comment saying, “we must bear in mind the fundamental responsibility of preparing for war and charge on the journey of a strong army.” The comment has received 8,000 thumbs-up.

…Ahead of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the PLA on August 1, Xi, also the general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, stressed the need for further implementing the strategy of strengthening the armed forces by training competent personnel in the new era, the Xinhua News Agency reported on Friday.

At the same time, prominent GT pundit and the publication’s former editor, Hu Xijin, has claimed the Chinese military “has the right” to block Pelosi’s plane and any US fighter jet escorts from Taiwan’s airspace (which China claims as its own).

This after he has in past days reported that Beijing considers “all options, including military ones” to be on the table.

China’s jingoistic statements echoing from government-affiliated media and commentators has gotten considerable attention of late from American observers as the West speculates on what kind of response Beijing is readying in the scenario that Pelosi actually touches down in Taipei, which could be just days away.

But there is a general feeling that if China does respond aggressively – beyond something like just the usual war drills (snap exercises are occurring now in the South China Sea) – there’s little that Washington can do about it, given it would involve simultaneously “confronting” superpowers on two major fronts, considering the spiraling Ukraine situation.

With House Speaker Nancy Pelosi departing for a tour of Asia on Friday – to include Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Singapore – The Washington Post’s Josh Rogin says a Taiwan stopover is “expected to happen” during the “early part” of the trip.

Could Pelosi show up in Taipei as soon as Sunday, Monday or Tuesday? Meanwhile, Chinese state media has been busy threatening that “military options” are on the table in response.

And for one of the latest posts from state-run English language Global Times…

As AntiWar.com’s Dave DeCamp wrote: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is leading a congressional delegation to Asia that is set to depart on Friday, but it’s still not clear if she will make a stop in Taiwan.

Sources told NBC News that the delegation will stop in Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Singapore. Taiwan is listed on the itinerary as “tentative.”

So far, Pelosi and her advisers have declined to confirm that she is planning to visit Taiwan. But on Wednesday, Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) said that Pelosi invited him to join her in Taiwan, signaling that she still plans to go despite the risk of sparking a major crisis across the Taiwan Strait.

McCaul declined the invitation, and it’s not clear who will be part of Pelosi’s delegation. She also invited Reps. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) and Mark Takano (D-CA), but they haven’t commented on the trip.

Beijing has issued strong warnings over Pelosi’s plans to visit Taiwan, but the potential trip has gained strong bipartisan support from lawmakers in Congress as both Republicans and Democrats are urging her to go.

Biden administration officials have said China will view the trip as a purposeful provocation but maintain that it’s her decision whether or not to visit the island.

During a Q&A following Thursday’s Biden-Xi phone call, a senior administration official reiterated, “I’d note that, you know, no trip has been announced.  And as we’ve said previously, it’s her decision.”

Chinese military analysts have warned that Pelosi visiting Taiwan could spark a conflict between the US and China. Pelosi will be the first house speaker to make the trip since Newt Gingrich did in 1997, but the analysts warn China’s response could be stronger since its military is much stronger today.

Chinese state pundits and media are meanwhile warning that “all options, including military ones” are currently on the table.

  1. Pelosi will load up all the brave, courageous, straight white men on ships and send them out to the china sea to be sunk. That will help the democrat’s with the next elections.
    This is what wars are all about, to get rid of the bravest, most principled men. Just think what kind of country we would have if all those brave men didn’t die in the invasion of Normandy, and at the battle of the bulge. All that good genetics were wiped out. and that was all on purpose.

    They did the same thing at Stalingrad. that was a purposeful elimination machine, whether hitler and Stalin knew or not, I am not sure, but the central bankers knew.

  2. Stranger than fiction – We are not in Kansas anymore – Every new day, life in the US is more like a cross between the Wizard of Oz and The Twilight Zone – Never suffer a witch to live

  3. I just have no understanding why she’s even making this trip. Who gives two turds about what nanzi pelosi thinks about anything?
    I also see the chicken shite response from the bidet administration that it’s her decision. Any leader with any huevoes would tell her not to make that stop. In a real administration she wouldn’t be going at all. Anywhere!!

    • I was thinking exactly that.

      Since when does a leader- who is supposedly commander-in-chief of the armed forces, defer decision making to his #3 person? Given that the decision of said #3 person could lead to war and that the trip requires military escort, the leader should have the final say.

      • Nothing these fools do makes any sense. The pretend president thinks he’s doing a great job while regular citizens are giving up vacations, and even day trips because it’s either groceries or gas. I sometimes think his people don’t tell what’s really going on. It’s for sure he has no idea. As we go into a recession he thinks we’re on the right path… he probably gets told the opposite of what’s really happening.

  4. Chinese saying: big help, little bad mouth. Pelosi trip is all theater between her and CCP before the mid-term election. do you really think they will start a war when Mitch McConnell’s wife Elaine Chao owns Frontline Maritime Shipping Company. do not look here, look at the smoke and mirrors and the shadows on the wall. I am surprised Fauci is not going to bring Nasty to Wuhan for some bat soup.

  5. More provocation to start a world war. The globalist trash of the NWO and WEF and the traitors in the USA need to be exterminated. If they want to reduce the population of the earth, let them advance the space program and get the hell off the planet and go somewhere less populated.

  6. China will do nothing. Russia has also declared “red lines” that just keep being crossed yet they do nothing. China is no different.

    Perhaps most of you don’t understand that these elites are all in bed together and they are just putting on a dog and pony show for their Zionist masters.

  7. war#4Starfish prime was hughes`taking out the russian war satellites with Gar mini air-air nukes
