Pelosi plane landed in Taiwan, Chinese Su-35s did not fire

The planet was on the verge of an apocalypse because the moment the plane carrying Nancy Pelosi landed in Taiwan, the Chinese Air Force ordered Su-35 fighter jets to cross the Taiwan Strait.

Shortly after 10:45 pm (local time), a SPAR19 aircraft carrying the Speaker of the US House of Representatives arrived at Taipei’s Songshan Airport, which is also home to a US military base.

Everyone was waiting…

N. Pelosi is the highest ranking American politician to visit the island in 25 years. In fact, her visit means the official recognition of Taiwan by the United States as a country separate from China. Which obviously will not please the Celestial Empire.

The tension grew with every second, but nothing happened.

As soon as Nancy Pelosi landed in Taipei, she tweeted the following statement:

“Our delegation’s visit to Taiwan demonstrates America’s unwavering commitment to supporting the dynamic Republic of Taiwan. Our discussions with the leadership of Taiwan confirm our support for our partner and advance our common interests, including promoting a free and open Indo-Pacific.America’s solidarity with Taiwan’s 23 million people is more important today than ever as the world faces a choice between autocracy and democracy. Our visit is one of several congressional delegations to Taiwan and in no way conflicts with the long-standing policy of the United States, guided by the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, the US-China joint communiqué, and the Six Pledges.”

China still did not dare to open fire on the American plane, which was eagerly expected in Washington. The world once again went to the very edge …
