Philip Yeung, a university lecturer commented re: Nancy Pelosi’s possible visit to Taiwan.

I have better travel plans for you, Nancy. Instead of going to Taiwan, why not try visiting the mainland ?

There, you will be greeted by a friendly people, at peace, in prosperity, purpose-driven and surprisingly tech-savvy. Its streets are safe at midnight, and humming with harmony, without a hint of racial hatred or bitter divisions. And the biggest surprise awaiting you: The Chinese are madly in love with their “authoritarian” government. How is that for cognitive dissonance? How’s it working for you with your other half of Congress ? A bad hair day ?

You are a prisoner of your own prejudice and, like your peers, allergic to the truth. What gives you the right to swagger around dictating your warped values when your own country is a moral mess ?

Asia has no room for a quarrelsome grandmother who is overdue for a life watching the sunset.
