US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is expected to visit Taiwan as part of her tour of Asia, according to a senior Taiwanese government official and a US official, despite warnings from Biden administration officials, who are worried about China's response to such a high-profile visit.
Everyone misunderstanding you has a bad case of viewing this in moralistic terms. Like power projection is necessarily a bad thing and since China is good it therefore can't be doing power projection.
Projection of power is bad unless i live in the empire core that's doing it than i can still have my treats. So China should bow down.
