All I can think is, what is the point of Pelosi going to Taiwan? Is she especially knowledgable about Taiwan, her Mandarin is great, what exactly does she bring to the table? This is narcissistic on her part. Now if it was Hunter at least we know there would be some "deliverables" but what does that 80 year old woman think she is going to accomplish? Shouldn't it be the SOS that goes if anybody?
Narcissistic? Our illustrious house speaker? Say it isn't so!! LMAO. That's a mild term for the opinion of herself Pelosi has. I figure the reason she's going to Taiwan is...because she can. On the taxpayer dime. Other than that her going there doesn't accomplish anything. She's just feeding her ego.
I agree. Regardless of how I feel about Pelosi, we shouldn’t let ChIna prohibit us from sending representatives to other countries.
While I don't disagree with your statement as a general matter, problem here is that the US tries to have it both ways on account of Taiwan. On the one hand, the US' official foreign policy stand is that there is only one China and the PRC is the legitimate representative of China. On the other hand, the US takes steps to defend Taiwan. I say until the US actually decides to recognize Taiwan as an independent country and open an embassy there, no government official should be visiting the island in an official capacity.

There is nothing to be gained with pelosi’s visit except to provoke china.
We have a bunch of children in our govt that do not understand diplomacy because they think their **** doesn’t stink since becoming a sole hegemony after WW2.

Nothing say 'independence' and 'defiance' more than weapons. Am not being 'gung-ho' here. But since we are already arming Taiwan for decades, then a politician's visit is just an afterthought.
Looks like China rules our military too. We are weak under Milley. The clown appeases the enemy or he is a communist too.
Don't forget the idiot Austin, he's just as bad Ms Milley the drag-queen general.
