The quickly passed Pelosi visit to Taiwan crisis



Arguing against the prevailing view, that China instead has no interest in invading Taiwan, but that China (President Xi Xinping) is instead sabre-rattling to rally nationalism within mainland China, to distract from China's growing economic crises.

But that if Xi Xinping's supporters put enough pressure on him to back up his rhetoric with action or be seen as weak and a paper tiger, he would invade Taiwan, just to rally his support and avoid being voted out of his position, but not because he actually wants to invade Taiwan.

Interesting history review too, that Imperial Japan occupied and owned Taiwan from 1895-1945, and China only got it back because FDR pressed for giving it back to China (BEFORE the Communists took over in 1949), and that's the only reason it technically belongs to China now in the first place.
