Taiwan- Besuch von Pelosi: Zwei Flugzeuge, wobei China nicht weiß, in welchem Pelosi sitzt?
Im Hintergrund ist ein Flug zu sehen, der identisch mit dem ist, den Pelosi von Japan nach Malaysia fliegt.
Nancy hat einen SPAR-19, dieser einen SPAR-20.
Es ist durchaus möglich, dass sie zu zweit fliegen, um alles auf die Spitze zu treiben – mit der Ungewissheit, welche Regierungskolonne die Hauptrolle spielt.

Zwei chinesische Flugzeugträger stechen vor Pelosis möglichem Besuch in Taiwan in See – Zhongguo Shibao Zeitung
Die China- Global- Times mit einer erneuten Warnung an die USA:
The Chinese Foreign Ministry and the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) are keeping up the pressure on the US over House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s potential visit to the island of Taiwan, urging the US to honor US President Joe Biden’s promise to not support “Taiwan independence,” while media outlets from the US and Taiwan reported that Pelosi is expected to visit the island shortly.
In celebration of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the PLA, the PLA Eastern Theater Command on Monday released a video on social media, along with the message “We are fully prepared for any eventuality. Fight upon order, bury every intruder, move toward joint and successful operation!” The video has become one of the hottest topics on Sina Weibo, China’s Twitter-like social media platform. The hashtag on the topic has received at least 42.5 million views, with many netizens seeing it as a clear warning to Pelosi, who could make a surprise and provocative trip to China’s Taiwan island.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian also said at a routine Monday press conference, “If you play with fire, you will get burned. I believe the US is fully aware of the strong and clear message delivered by China.”
If Pelosi visits the island of Taiwan, “the PLA will not sit idly by” and will take “resolute and strong countermeasures” to protect China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. As to what these measures are, Zhao said “if she dares to go, let’s wait and see.”
On Sunday, the RFI reported that Pelosi will fly to Taiwan island via the Philippines’ Clark Air Base on August 4 and meet with the island’s regional leader Tsai Ing-wen.
Fu Qianshao, a Chinese military aviation expert, told the Global Times that China’s military aircraft are capable of regular patrols around the island of Taiwan. In addition, the PLA army, navy and air force are far more capable of intercepting and striking than they were during the Taiwan Straits crisis of 1996.
“If Pelosi’s aircraft enters our exercise area, we would have to take measures to eject, intercept, escort, and send a radio warning… If Pelosi gets her way, our warplanes may fire shells diagonally ahead of Pelosi’s plane as a further warning,” Fu said.
Fu said that in the “first island chain,” China’s military advantage is much greater than that of the US military, and if there is a real military conflict, the US military escort will not be of much use in protecting Pelosi.
“If Pelosi were to land at Taipei’s Songshan Airport on a US military executive flight C-40, would the accompanying escorts be expected to land with her in Taipei as well? Any landing of US military aircraft would be a serious violation of China’s red line and would create a bigger crisis on top of Pelosi’s,” said Herman Shuai, a retired army lieutenant general in the island of Taiwan.
Chiu Yi, a Taiwan-based cross-Straits expert, told the Global Times that it is highly likely that Pelosi will enter Taiwan from the eastern side of the island, avoiding the western side where the PLA is heavily deployed.
“But isn’t it hilarious that the No 3. political figure in the world’s No.1 country is hiding like a rat and being smug about it? ” Chiu said.
