This comes as China urged the US to adhere to previous agreements on the 40th anniversary of the US-China Joint Communique on issues relating to Taiwan.

ONLY 34% of U.S. voters could find Taiwan on a blank map of Asia
In an Aug. 6-7 survey experiment conducted during heavy media coverage of Pelosi’s trip to the island, ONLY 34% of U.S. voters could find Taiwan on a blank map of Asia. That’s the same as the share of voters who said they heard “a lot” about the California Democrat’s trip there last week. It’s also the same fraction of the electorate that could identify Ukraine on a map when asked a few weeks before Russia’s invasion of the country..
are we going to WORLD WAR 3 ??
CNA is just another western media propaganda outlet, biased in reporting when coming to China. Shame on it.
China should be more assertive, but not over assertive as it will turn into arrogant like the US.
"We Talk – Taiwan residents: U.S. says one thing and does another".
They are right. The US regime is run by a bunch of people who speaks with forked tongues, 🪱🪱🪱
a term used by Native Americans to describe the colonists in the United States.

It's war time!!!
I still think Joe Biden should not
Interfere in ChinaAnd Taiwan affair…we need China support for
Ukraine and I this time Joe Biden have gone offline….
Thev American invasion of Taiwan using a 82 year old granny!!
It is foolish to agitate China
oh come on, CNA. True, China did not condemn Russia ?? But there's at least more than 150 other countries who also didn't.
Why single out China ? There's also the prominent ones in BRICS, SCO esp. India who is buying $$$ billions of oil. Isn't that also supporting Russia in some way ?
Your reporting is so biased and unbalanced, it's a joke . You're beginning to sound like US state Dept's stenographer regurgitating US & western propaganda & talking points.
Taiwan is China rebels' strong hold, Chinese needs to destroy these rebels soon.
China needs to restart the civil war that was put on hold… NOW !!
The principle of China is not America's principle we don't business with china's principles
All these english speaking news channels are controlled by the west. Remember that !!
US will continue to provoke, instigate, goad and bait China, using Taiwan as the bait, till a war is triggered. This is becoz the US sees China and Russia as the only two potential countries to challenge its hegemony and easy economic life. It will do anything and everything, including throwing all Ukrainian or Taiwanese lives under the bus, to keep their hegemony.
When I was in Taiwanese Military in the 1980, we were planning to invade China. Now the table is turned, it's bitching like a bitch. I quit the Taiwanese military when I heard their invasion plan. Stop saying China is the aggressor, Taiwan in the early 50, would bomb the Chinese coasteline left and right, till the PLAAF chased them down with the MiG-15.
To all the leader of NATO, United State, European Nation and Asian Country to join together. Don't let China to lead the world. May GOD save the people of the world in the name of the SON of GOD 🔥
Taiwan was never a part of china – it has polynesian, dutch, spanish, japanese – but China invaded the island before that it had polynesian ancestry – Malayo-Polynesian languages are now spoken across a huge area from Madagascar to Hawaii, Easter Island and New Zealand, but form only one branch of the Austronesian family, the rest of whose branches are found only on Taiwan , It was not until the defeat of the Chinese navy during the First Sino-Japanese War in 1894–95 that Japan was finally able to gain possession of Taiwan, and with it saw the shifting of Asian dominance from China to Japan. The Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed on April 17, 1895, ceding Taiwan and the Penghu Islands to Japan, which would rule the island for 50 years until its defeat in World War II – If Taiwan was ceded by China to Japan – that means it is no longer part of China.
Taipei asking for it. Tsai should have known better not to invite US and Western politicians to Taiwan.
Is she trying to say that Taiwan is independent and can invite foreign help to support her military and fight with China?
The Taiwanese should vote Taiwan out and return former Ma.
The House speaker admitted her son was an unlisted “escort” on the controversial trip
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s son Paul Pelosi Jr. is the second-largest investor in Chinese telecom firm Borqs Technologies, a recent Daily Mail report has revealed. The younger Pelosi did not publicly disclose his stake in the $22 billion firm before accompanying his mother on the 90million USD taxpayer-funded trip to Taiwan.
These people running the US regime are snakes or what Native Indians called people who speak with forked tongues🪱🪱🪱 . That's how they stole practically all their land and killed off their people.
Taiwan has never been part of China; where's the proof!! Viva Taiwan. Other countries should protect Taiwan.
Woohoo let’s go China !
If you agree with the one china policy, what's wrong with the Chinese military showing in their borders?
china will always want to invade Taiwan, no matter what! If the world really think helping Taiwan will be their best interest in the long run, then just ignore china threat and keep on supporting Taiwan.
China trying to justify there childish tantrums
It took russia 8+ years to fully advance to ukraine how long it took to taiwan?
WW3 REALLY HOW SAD WE ARE AS HUMANS INSTEAD OF BUILDING WE ARE DESTROYING INSTEAD OF UNITY WE ARE DIVIDING THE LIVES OF PEOPLE
BUNCH OF MEN HIGH ON TESTOSTERONES WHICH IS PUSHED AND BACKED BY HORMONES TO BALANCE IF YOU WANT TO SAY
Good! Should flood the sea around Taiwan. See what is next for Taiwan’s government saying. Showing china more military training in Taiwan? First most idiot government in Taiwan 🤣🤣🤣
It is China’s right. Why bullying China?
West’s aggressive, sabotage policy is increasing last year. So sad.
1) In 1894, Japan invaded China and Korea, the Qing gov was defeated and signed the [Treaty of Shimonoseki] to cede Taiwan Island to Japan.
2) During the WW2, at the Cairo Conference held in 1943, China asked the transfer of Taiwan's sovereignty back to China after the war. This content was included in the [Cairo Declaration] and later reiterated in the [Potsdam Proclamation] that it should be implemented.
3) On 14 Aug 1945, the Emperor Showa of Japan issued the [End War Edict] , Japan surrendered unconditionally and accepted the [Potsdam Proclamation]. The Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, Marshal MacArthur ordered the Japanese troops in Taiwan to surrender to KMT General Chiang Kai Shek. Taiwan re-entered the territory of the Republic Of China (ROC).
4) Soon after that China civil war broke out between KMT and CPC, the KMT was defeated and fled to Taiwan. However, due to US intervention, the CPC without a strong navy at that time has no ability to unify Taiwan. The CPC then established the People's Republic of China (PRC) on 1949. The civil war continues…
5) In 1971, UN Resolution No. 2758 ruled that the PRC had obtained the representation rights and all legal rights originally owned by the ROC in the UN. That means the PRC is China’s only legal gov under international law, and today the PRC also become China’s only legal gov recognized by 180 countries around the world, including the USA.
"The USA recognizes the Government of the PRC as the sole legal Government of China. Within this context, the people of the USA will maintain cultural, commercial, and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan."
Joint Cummunique on the Establishment of Diplomatic relations between the PRC and the USA (December 16 1978)
6) Therefore, according to international law, international reality, and the wishes of the 1.4 billion Chinese people, Taiwan should return to PRC and the PRC have every rights to protect it's sovereign integrity.
In reality Taiwain became independent in 1912 since then till now🇹🇼🇺🇸
Support Taiwan independence🇹🇼🇺🇸
Tsiwanese will have to fight to death or othereise be a communist slave. There is no duture for any democratic Taiwanes in a commmunist china!
LOL!! I am guessing living in peace as two system one country was not what Taiwan master the evil USA wanted.
Taiwan strong
No place to hide in Taiwan crisis..is just being nice..China can overwhelm Taiwan..thousand of AI drone and AI Naval ship and finally encircle them….China and Russia do not need to do any thing but could see a total destruction of western economy and soon the USA …Why didn't China just invade Taiwan since USA and their alley becoming more and more antagonistic day by day???The answer is Perfect timing or Chinese terms "Perfect Wind"!!!Every Chinese believes in the Perfect Wind – a Perfect Sequence of Events that will deliver a desired result with the least complications.It could take 5 weeks or 5 year from now (Mr Xi mentioned this unification should not left to the next leadership)but the Perfect Wind will come.President Jingping is still listening to some of his wise advisors and will not fall into the trap of Russia invading Ukraine..but the ingenuity of Russian central bak is so brilliant..Now Europe can only stuck thumb about go green by using less gas,but the sole absurdity of Germany resorting to using simply incomprehensible!!!
Time is on China's Side.The United States is baiting China into invading Taiwan. That is strategically and clear and obvious.Anyone still think the USA believes if China attacks Taiwan , US will fight a war with China and crush it to the ground?Come on – This is the same Country that took 20 years to subjugate a Nation of Angry Farmers and Goatherders and reverted them back to the Status quo after blowing Trillions of Dollars on Afghanistan.Why do you think US top speaker go in May 2022? After she recovered from Covid 19.Because back then there was no need to.
Today the Ukraine war front is going very badly for the West. The Economic War has ended in a catastrophic defeat and the West have been forced to roll back almost all their Oil Sanctions to bring down the price of Oil.You need distraction. Taiwan was the distraction.Had Xi invaded Taiwan as many Idiots and Fools wanted – US would have been delighted. They would have immediately raised a crescendo and it would have been Ukraine 2.0 with Tsai Ing Wen the next stooge of USA becoming the next Zelensky.
India would have been in a very dicey position.On one hand India support Russia unconditionally but i am sure even if Putin requests them to – we cannot support a Taiwanese Invasion in any way and would definitely oppose , maybe even sanction China (Unless China relinquishes its demands on Arunachal and Ladakh in which which India can certainly abstain)
China would be sanctioned by every country of worse consequence unlike Russia.Some would do so for the excuse of not paying their loans back,Some would do so for the excuse of stealing and nationalizing all Chinese investments.Some would do it for Nationalism,Some would do it because they want to throttle China.It would be a Catastrophe for China and could seriously cause unpalatable and numerous problems for them
China never actually believed it needed to Invade Taiwan bu a peaceful unification until recently with incessant poking of the Panda in the eyes!!Now China has to make a lot of preparations and some conciliation and some consolidation:
→ Consolidate positions with Russia rather than handshakes
→ End the Issues with India
→ Restructure most of the BRI loans which are not geared for a Global Recession Economy
→ Keep focusing on more Military production, More Reserves, More Missiles
→ Wait for the West to become even weaker after being drained by Russia.Then STRIKE!!,Even if Taiwan declares Independence earlier – its of no consequence
Its why a Meritocracy is so important in a country of 1.4Billions,only the best brains with superior strategic mind set get to rule.The People who know this are in the top positions in China which is why China is still playing the game very carefully.Imagine if i in"demomcrazy world"and🤣🤣😁😁 some other Democracy with some fifth rate leader chosen by the rabble – he would have invaded and created Chaos and total failure for it country at large
