According to reports, on August 1, Pelosi arrived in Singapore by C-40C special plane, although Pelosi did not disclose whether to visit Taiwan, but the Taiwan media took the lead in releasing the news, today Taiwan media said that Pelosi's visit to Taiwan "still has a chance", although she did not disclose relevant information, but that is for security reasons, and if she cancels the Taiwan plan, it will lead to her position in the US government.
Just after the speculation of the Taiwan media, another news came out on the island this afternoon, and the Taiwan media "One News" reported that Pelosi would visit Taiwan tomorrow (August 2) and spend the night in Taiwan, meeting with the top level of the Taiwan authorities the next day, so as to realize his intention to visit.
However, at present, this news has not been confirmed by the US side, it is reported that Pelosi has begun a visit to Singapore, and today with the new Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong talks, tomorrow will also have other high-level dialogues with the Singapore government, if Pelosi chooses to go to Taiwan on the 2nd, then she will "lightning visit" Taiwan after the end of the visit to Singapore, then she will pay a painful price for her behavior.
In fact, before that, there have been many foreign media speculating that Pelosi will go to Taiwan on the 4th, and even some people think that Pelosi will meet with Tsai Ing-wen at the US military base in the Philippines, but then according to the itinerary announced by the US side, Pelosi will visit South Korea on the 4th and meet with senior Officials of the South Korean government.
At present, there are several possibilities for Pelosi to visit Taiwan, one is that Pelosi insists on visiting Taiwan, resulting in the deterioration of Sino-US relations, the People's Liberation Army flying over Taiwan for cruising, and even carrying out "armed reunification.", there is also a possibility that Pelosi will give up visiting Taiwan, the influence of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region will be greatly reduced, and China's stern warning will play a role.
During this period, the PLA's actions around the Taiwan Island have become more and more frequent, and a few days ago the PLA dispatched a number of types of fighters to fly around Taiwan to release a tough signal to the United States and Taiwan; if the US side continues to provoke on the Taiwan Strait issue, then the PLA will not sit idly by, as long as Pelosi goes to Taiwan, the PLA military planes will certainly intercept and will never allow external forces to interfere in China's internal affairs.
As for Pelosi's visit to Taiwan today, Chinese spokesman Zhao Lijian made a tough response today, he issued a stern warning to the US side, in the face of Pelosi's provocative activities, the PLA will definitely not turn a blind eye, the Chinese side will wait and wait, with practical actions to defend China's sovereignty and national security, if the US government is wrong again and again, it will certainly pay a bitter price for its own behavior, as for what measures the Chinese side takes, let us wait and see.
Zhao Lijian's statement also makes us look forward to it more and more, fully reflecting the calmness, confidence and self-confidence of a big country, and the US military is actually eager to move, it is reported that yesterday more than 10 us military aircraft arrived at The Kadena Air Base in Japan, including 9 KC-135 air tankers and 2 C-2 Greyhound transport aircraft, 1 carrier-based helicopter MH-60, which can also be seen that the US side is absolutely "thief's heart", and may even escort the Pelosi special plane.
Now the Reagan aircraft carrier has also left the South China Sea and arrived in the eastern waters of the Bashi Strait, which is the "old place" of US aircraft carrier activities, if Pelosi insists on visiting Taiwan, then the US warplanes may take off from 3 locations for escort, the first is Kadena Air Base, because there are a large number of US military aircraft deployed here, and because of the long-term stationing of the nearby environment is also more familiar, but the outbreak of conflict, it is likely to involve Japan.
The second choice is Guam, the main problem is that the distance from the Chinese mainland is far, there are 3000 kilometers, if you choose to escort, then you also have to dispatch tankers, which is also a great consumption of the US military; The third is the reagan aircraft carrier, recently reagan has just carried out a series of activities in the South China Sea, the aircraft carrier also has a carrier-based aircraft, can cooperate with Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, its F-18E/F fighter has a combat radius of 1200 kilometers, at any time to escort Pelosi, the procedure is relatively simple.
Although the US aircraft carrier has taken action, it is definitely not an opponent of China's navy and air force, and yesterday the Chinese side also released a video of the test firing of the DF-17 missile, which is to "shine muscles" to the United States, indicating that we have enough strength to deal with any provocation by the US side, if the US military insists on going its own way, then it will certainly become a "living target" of the PLA, China's "no matter what to fight" is by no means empty words, and the PLA has the strength and confidence to strike at all the enemies who come to attack.
