THEO VAN GOGH WATCH : PREPARING FOR FINAL WORLD WAR III

MEMRI  Special Dispatch No. 10102 – Chinese Experts: ‘People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force Could Conduct Drills With New Missiles Targeting Any  U.S. Aircraft Carriers… Involved In Pelosi’s Visit [To Taiwan]’

Chinese daily Global Times published a review of Chinese experts’ reactions  to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s probable visit to Taiwan in August. One of the Chinese military experts, Song Zhongping, suggested that the Chinese military should “declare the entire Taiwan island as the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) drill zone intercepting all unauthorized planes flying in the zone, if Pelosi visits the island.” The PLA Rocket Force could conduct drills with new missiles targeting any possible U.S. aircraft carriers and other large military vessels that may be involved in Pelosi’s visit,” Song said.(Source: Facebook.com/pelosiforcongress)

The “PLA Is Fully Prepared For All Responses If [Pelosi] Does Visit The Island”

“After the Chinese Foreign Ministry stressed that China had made sterner warnings to U.S. officials and China is fully prepared for any eventuality over U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s planned Taiwan trip… the Chinese Defense Ministry… vowed that if the U.S. insists, the Chinese military will by no means sit idly by and strong measures will be taken to thwart any external interference and ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist attempts.

“Chinese analysts said the strong warnings from the Chinese military meant that the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is well prepared for all the possible challenges if Pelosi visits the island, and they advised the PLA Rocket Force to conduct drills with new missiles targeting any possible U.S. aircraft carriers and other large military vessels that may be involved in Pelosi’s visit.

“Tan Kefei, a spokesperson of China’s Ministry of National Defense, said… that if Pelosi, as the No.3 US politician, visits Taiwan, it will be a serious violation of the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiqués, and it will seriously damage China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity as well as the political basis for China-US relations. It would certainly cause severe damage to bilateral military relations and lead to escalating tensions across the Taiwan Straits.

“China demands the U.S. to fulfill its commitment of not supporting Taiwan secessionism and not arrange Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, Tan said, noting that if the U.S. persists, the Chinese military will by no means sit idly by and will take strong measures to thwart any external inferences and ‘Taiwan independence’ secessionist attempts and resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

“‘Tan’s remarks indicate that PLA is fully prepared for all responses if she does visit the island,’ Song Zhongping, a Chinese military expert told the Global Times…

“The New York Times reported on Monday that internal worries have sharpened in recent days, as the Biden administration quietly tries to dissuade Pelosi from going through with the proposed visit.

“The reports describe a scenario that China could send aircraft to ‘escort’ her plane and prevent it from landing if she visits Taiwan, possibly on a U.S. military aircraft, and a U.S. official said the scenario is a legitimate concern.”
