🇺🇸🇨🇳A Chinese battery manufacturer has postponed the construction of a huge factory in the US. The reason is the visit of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan, 佩洛西讓 10,000 個美國人失去工作 writes Bloomberg.
The Chinese company CATL is the world’s largest manufacturer of fuel cells and lithium-ion batteries.
The company was going to start building a giant battery factory for Tesla and Ford electric vehicles.
A $5 billion enterprise would employ 10,000 workers and reduce the cost of manufacturing machines.
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.
Taking advantage of the one step America had to take, we took three steps in one night
The first step is to advance the scope of the exercise. We will see it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. The entire Taiwan Island is surrounded by us for military exercises. This is something that has never happened in 1997 or 2016. I can’t even think about it. 22 At this step of the year, this military encirclement is officially encircled.
Advancement process (from the coast of Fujian in 1997 – to the central line of the Taiwan Strait in 16 years – to Diaoyu Island in the northeast corner of Taiwan in 19 years – then to the northwest corner of Taiwan in 20 years – the military blockade of the whole island was completed on August 4, 2022) This step-by-step strategic deployment goal of nibbling away steadily and steadily has been completed.
The second step is international public opinion. The U.S. interferes with China first, and China’s exercises come later, and neither kills Americans, shoots down planes, nor engages in direct fire with the U.S. military. ‘s mouth. Because our core purpose is the island of Taiwan, not the United States, to take the initiative to open fire on the United States, (at least now is not the time) to achieve the strategic goal of final reunification is the key, dragging the United States in is the last resort! In this way, through the actions of an American, we not only kept the international public opinion in check, but also completed the military encirclement action, and logically drove the American army out of the scope of the exercise. The United States and Japan can only watch us take Taiwan Wrap up military exercises without being able to stop them.
The third step, the most powerful step, is the public opinion! Tonight is a shame. All the platforms are live-streaming the whole process, and finally watching the Americans enter Taiwan to interfere with China’s reunification. This kind of righteous indignation will start to accumulate in the people, and the military reunification is logical, because ordinary people prefer us to shoot missiles. In the past, this is the beauty of this third step. How angry the people are now, how righteous the Wutong will be in the future! correct!
Let’s talk about the United States, whether it comes to Taiwan tonight or in recent years, the People’s Liberation Army will find an opportunity to strategically encircle Taiwan, but it will take a long time, but the United States thinks that since it is a card, then the United States might as well come Come visit and show allies how much they support their little brother. Increases the final value of this card. Make good use of the residual value of the Taiwan card.
But in fact, it is to lengthen the time axis.
From the coast of Fujian in 1997: We were blocked by the US aircraft carrier in the coastal waters of Xiamen, and we have not even been to the middle line of the Taiwan Strait. Our land cannons have to be mounted on ships as naval guns, because there are no large warships!
In 2016, we advanced to the center line of the Taiwan Strait, but the US fleet came again, and we could only walk on the center line.
In the next 20 years, in the northwest corner of Taiwan, we passed through hundreds of planes almost a year. It was also after 16 years that we only had aircraft carriers, stealth fighters, and 055 destroyers, but we also walked to the lower two corners of Taiwan Island.
But today, 22 years ago, taking advantage of this incident, we have blocked the entire island, all US aircraft carriers have been evacuated, and all US stealth military aircraft have been grounded under the pretext.
This is China’s strategic determination, and it seems that the Americans are complacent tonight! Setting foot on Taiwan makes the Chinese people lose face! But in fact, in the military, the United States has retreated and retreated again and again in the past 20 years, and has already withdrawn from the waters within Taiwan. These are the national strategies that the Chinese should see and understand.
For the future, the US aircraft carrier battle group will no longer be able to enter, and the blockade of military exercises around the whole island will become the norm in the future! What does this mean? You are already on my side. It is a matter of time to eat you. The whole island is blocked. It also means that when I hit you, any plane will not want to fly out of Taiwan Island, so Tsai Ing-wen thinks Escape is a dream, Americans, you can only watch from a distance, watch the destruction of the last card
The opportunity to blockade the whole island today was actually given to us by the Americans. Otherwise, we really couldn’t find such a good opportunity, and the United States couldn’t say anything internationally, because you were the one who picked things up and interfered in other countries’ internal affairs.
From August 4, 2022, the whole island will be surrounded by military blockade live ammunition exercises!
So when to eat this piece of meat, I think, it must be very slow, until there is civil strife in Taiwan, then watch the news, when there is civil strife in Taiwan, the People’s Liberation Army will go in, this is an opportunity, and the island can give We create it, or we can create it ourselves. Just like the pro-Russian regime in eastern Ukraine a few years ago, Taiwan also needs to give the People’s Liberation Army such a reason, so it won’t be too rushed. What’s more, when the national fortune is rising. If you are in a hurry, you will lose. This is the same as playing Go. You can’t just look at the gains and losses of one piece tonight.
China’s most important strategic focus now is the economy!
Nancy Pelosi has arrived in Taiwan added much tension to the US and China relationship. What is her purpose and goals of this visit? How will China respond? I break it all down in today’s new video.
The Civilized verses the Barbarians. Chinese use brain, AngloSaxon like Roman Empire, US & EU use brute force. China still here after 5,000 years, but Roman Empire is long gone. Cool minded and rational war decision – Sunzi: leader should not start a war because of a moment of anger, and a general should not cause a war because of a moment of resentment.

Will Nancy Pelosi’s Visit to Taiwan Trigger A Crisis? – Political Violence at a Glance 南希佩洛西訪台會引發危機嗎？ – 政治暴力一覽
Below is the text of the RAND study from which the authors drew their conclusions that: “despite their potency, these warnings look far less aggressive when compared to statements China has used in the past prior to full-blown escalations…So far, China’s official rhetoric has been far below the threshold of China’s previous verbal signals that imply escalation or outright war”
Of course this is wrong. The RAND study referred to actually says:
This is implemented ‘by a carefully calibrated hierarchy of official protests, authoritative press comment, and leadership statements’. Moreover, they highlight the ‘systematic integration of political and diplomatic action with military preparations as the signalling escalates through higher levels of authority’.
Providing more detail, they outline a ‘lexicon of threat and retaliation warnings . . . with increasing explicitness that conveys Beijing’s readiness to use force’.In order of increasing seriousness (with 1 being least serious and 9 most serious in terms of signalling willingness to consider the use of force), these include
1.X is ‘playing with fire’ and may ‘get burned’. (This phrase is the only referred to in the article, but there are others) 2.Beijing so far has ‘exercised the greatest restraint and forbearance’ but this ‘should not be taken as weakness and submissiveness’. 3.Do ‘not turn a deaf ear to China’s warnings’; China ‘cannot stand idly by’. (This phrase has been used many times already, and was the warning used just before the Korean war). 4.‘How far will you go? We shall wait and see’. 5.‘China’s forbearance has limits’; X is ‘deluding itself in thinking we are weak and can be bullied’. (This is very similar to the message, “But this doesn’t mean that we will trade our core interests for peace and tolerate bullying”) 6.If X does not cease its behaviour, it ‘will meet the punishment it deserves’. 7.‘Do not complain later that we did not give you a clear warning in advance’. 8.We have been ‘driven beyond forbearance’ and are ‘forced to counterattack’; our ‘restraint was regarded as an invitation to bullying’; our ‘warning fell on deaf ears’. 9.‘We will not attack if we are not attacked; if we are attacked, we will certainly counterattack (*This was stated this morning)
Although much has changed in recent years in terms of China’s strategic goals, military capabilities, and available communication channels, the available indications suggest that this hierarchy of warnings remains highly relevant today.
