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.
As soon as it became known that the plane of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives announced that it would land in Taipei, in the Chinese province of Fujian, which is opposite Taiwan, sirens howled.
At the same time, it became known that “Chinese Su-35 fighter jets are crossing the Taiwan Strait,” which separates mainland China from the island claimed by Beijing, without even announcing either their destination or their target, Chinese state television CGTN reported some time ago.

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 honors America’s unwavering commitment to supporting Taiwan’s vibrant Democracy.
Our discussions with Taiwan leadership reaffirm our support for our partner & promote our shared interests, including advancing a free & open Indo-Pacific region.
— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) August 2, 2022
America’s solidarity with the 23 million people of Taiwan is more important today than ever, as the world faces a choice between autocracy and democracy.

“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.”
