[Taiwan] - George Yeo blames USA and Nancy Pelosi for visiting Taiwan to provoke China, causing Taiwanese people to suffer China's wrath

[UltimaOnline]

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appears to have taken advantage of Taiwan during her high-profile visit in August 2022, according to Singapore’s former Minister of Foreign Affairs George Yeo (楊榮文).

Speaking in Taiwan on Wednesday (Sept. 13), Yeo said the Taiwanese government was “not so willing” to receive Pelosi, per the BCC. He said Pelosi’s visit put China and the U.S. on a war footing and further constrained Taiwan, causing its people to suffer.

Yeo said this suffering was driven by China’s need to mount a response that would ensure such a visit did not happen again. He said that in his understanding, neither side wanted to start a war because of the visit and controlled the situation.

The criticism follows Yeo’s description of Taiwan as a pawn in a geopolitical game between China and the U.S. in a recent interview. On Wednesday, Yeo also advocated for a China-Taiwan “Commonwealth” as a solution to avoid cross-strait conflict.

Taiwan china relations was fine before xi jinping took over. As you can see in china now, xi jinping has unleashed chinese manufacturers who benefitted from jv with foreign firms to eat their partners. From cars to planes to trains.

Hahah.
What kind of information is George Yeo being fed every day? I'm really Interested to know. Maybe the kind of same information is being fed to me, I have happy to support China and unification of Taiwan.

But clearly China's economy is not so good. Others are leaving. China is trying to fill in every shoe. They can do low to high end manufacturing, they can do research of all kinds.

 

[Hypocrite-The]

Actually the chicons control the democrazies. So why did Nancy chicons masters allow her to go? Unless it's a chicons setup to provoke war

The Aljunied GRC reject and bonafide CCP shill has been barking a lot recently... must have been instructed by his masters to do so.

First about 60% of the current land area of the current PRC needs to become independent states. Especially those 'autonomous' regions.
