She would be the first House Speaker to go to Taiwan since Newt Gingrich in 1997. Although many other government officials have made the trip since 2018, after Donald Trump signed the Taiwan Travel Act, an appearance by a U.S. politician of Pelosi\u2019s stature would mark a major event \u2014 even if she hasn\u2019t been clear about her reasons for traveling there in an unofficial capacity.<\/p>\n<p>China has responded with ominous warnings. On July 19, foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said, \u201cIf the U.S. insists on going down the wrong path, China will definitely take resolute and forceful measures to firmly defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The United States must be fully responsible for all the consequences caused by this.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/intelligencer\/2022\/07\/pelosis-taiwan-trip-is-already-an-international-incident.html\">New York Intelligencer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This places PINO Joe squarely in the international spotlight. Does he back his Speaker or cave to China demands? A sane administration would never allow itself to be dictated to by a foreign power, especially by a top rival. <\/p>\n<p>PINO Joe has yet to make a correct foreign policy decision in over 40 years.
