A Chinese Communist Party propagandist on Friday said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s plane may be shot down if she makes a stop in Taiwan.
This from thegatewaypundit.com.
Pelosi on Friday departed for Asia, however, a stop in Taiwan is still uncertain due to China’s threats.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to depart Friday for a tour of Asia, though whether she stops in Taiwan remains uncertain, a person familiar with the plans said.
Pelosi’s trip includes stops in Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore—all U.S. allies in the region.
But a drop-in to self-governing Taiwan was still only tentative as China issues warnings about the House speaker making a possible visit and U.S.-China relations are at a low point.
The Chinese embassy to the United States has urged members of Congress to tell Pelosi not to make the trip, which was planned for April before Pelosi tested positive for Covid-19.
China has been warning the U.S. not to let Pelosi visit Taiwan.
Chinse President Xi Jinping warned China puppet Joe Biden over Taiwan during a phone call this week:
Those who play with fire will perish by it.

After humiliating Joe Biden, China is now threatening to shoot down Pelosi’s plane.
Hu Xijin, an analyst for the Chinese state-controlled Global Times propaganda outlet tweeted, according to the Free Beacon:
If U.S. fighter jets escort Pelosi’s plane into Taiwan, it is invasion.
The PLA has the right to forcibly dispel Pelosi’s plane and the U.S. fighter jets, including firing warning shots and making tactical movement of obstruction.
If ineffective, then shoot them down.

Forfeiting Nasty Pelosi would be a benefit to the United States, no doubt. However, would it be possible for China to remove her from the planet without harming anyone else or any U.S. equipment? What about allowing her aircraft to land then incarcerating her?
Note to China if they decide to incarcerate Nasty Pelosi: She’s your problem now. We don’t want her back. Certainly, no high-dollar ransom will be considered.
