Obviously the leaders of this world want to play with their toys. This is not good for regular people anywhere. 😔

Before moving on with any discussion, it is really important to come to terms that none of the G7 counties officially recognized Taiwan, the democratically elected and self-governed Island, as an independent country. Instead they only recognize the People’s Republic of China, the so-called authoritarian regime, as an independent country. Why is that? Because that’s better for their own interests. If that’s not double-standards and hypocrisy, I don’t know what it is. Before they changing their current relationships with Taiwan and recognizing Taiwan as an independent country, I don’t see their governments and their citizens have any moral ground to criticize China’s action at the Taiwan straits. Just a bunch of hypocrites!

This guy is a great interviewer. His tone is perfectly monotone yet curious when asking questions.

She achieved a pile of cash from the Military Industrial Complex, and a great distraction for US internal problems as well as her husband's insider trading scandal.

As an Japanese, i really don`t see the point why Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan at this point. To show support from U.S could be done by any other means. I think the visit did worsen the tension between China and Taiwan. Hope things will be in peace. We, people in the all over the world, are facing more problematic common issues such as climate change. we have to shift our force into that way.

Russia really hopes that tension between China and America will escalate

“When you see two fish fighting in a river, an Englishman must have passed by” - Native American saying

In the past few years I've become savvy to checking on news sources from different countries in regards to issues in my country (U.S.). It's the best way to get the best overall perspective

I love Blinken's reply... The US is always innocent

It helps the US economy. The US can sell more weapons to Taiwan!

This is such refreshingly objective reporting. Living in the US, I find the news is so sensationalized.

In case you don't know: Taiwan's official name is ROC(Republic of China). ROC's capital was Nanking(now capital of Jiangsu province), in 1948 KMT lost the civil war with the Communist Party of China(CCP) and flew to Taiwan island. More than 97% residents of the island are Han ethnic Chinese. They speak Chinese and write in Chinese. Many of its presidents swore to retake the mainland and reunite China(so does PRC then and now). The mainland once had the opportunity to take Taiwan back in 1996, but the US stepped in to use Taiwan as a chess piece to contain China. Back then China is weak in every aspect, but now China isn't like what it was. The situation has changed. +History: Founder of the KMT(Chinese Nationalist Party, now still one of the top two parties in Taiwan) and first president of ROC Sun Yat-sen overthrew the Qing dynasty(last dynasty of China) and held open attitudes toward multi parties including CCP, and many years later his wife Soong Ch'ing-ling became Vice -president of CCP. After Sun's death, Chiang Kai Shek took power in KMT and began to slaughter CCP members. But when Japan started to invade China(1937), the two parties decided to cooperate to defend their motherland together. After winning in 1945, the civil war outbroke again and KMT flew to Taiwan. Nonetheless, back in Chiang Kai Shek's ruling in Taiwan, he would order MPs to shoot one to death if he or she conspired to Taiwan's independence. He said no when Douglas MacArthur planned to nuke the Chinese mainland during the Korean War. Today, American's invisible hands are all over Taiwan, secretly or even openly siding with the separatists, just like it does everywhere around the globe.

Just wondering why US Government has not listen to warning and now blaming China over react…

IF America wants to be strong, stop bickering between left and right and focus on the real issues.

When one side is not interested in hearing the concerns of the other side, dialogue is a waste of time.

She achieved war, and brought it to a head. So we don’t have to keep watching speculation and fear

"China sees Taiwan as a break away province". Its kind of difficult to view Taiwan as a "breakaway province", when the real government of the Republic of China is on the island of Taiwan and has been since the end of the civil war.

...proved that an 82-year-old woman can terrify 1.3 Billion Chinese..

Nancy Policy achieved a briefcase from the arms lobby.

ASEAN citizen here, in my opinion what is achieved from Pelosi's visit to Taiwan are instability and instabilities in the region. Not only Taiwan will need to pay the ticket for her visit which is very expensive, also unnecessarily expensive but the ASEAN countries too. Congratulation...!!! when it comes to creating chaos anywhere in the world, US is always unbeatable!!

Hello: Thank you for your support to Taiwan, but most Taiwanese want to maintain their current living conditions. Pelosi's coming to Taiwan will only make the Taiwan Strait more tense and not safer. Taiwan is so small and does not want to become a battlefield. Thank you again.

Stock up on food, water, house supplies and be prepared to lose everything...

If Trump would have gone to Taiwan, can you imaging what Pelosi would have said about it?

The reporter asked all the right questions 👌🏿

I am not a big of China myself.... but, With this... We can conclude that US will never admit their mistakes..... Instead US will change the narrative of the situation and make themselves look Noble....

Her achievements were great! At least for Russia and China’s friendship!

Based on my 15 years in CN (12 years in TW), CN won't initiate military takeover unless: 1. TW government announces independence officially or holds votes (ex: Change /remove ROC) or 2. US provides military arms / support that are out of the scope of defensive usage. The main idea is that unless TW citizens recognize CN themselves, the land will be hard to manage. You can see that this has been demonstrated in how they dealed with HK riot, they didn't send in troups nor respond to what other countries wanted CN to react, and in the end HK citizens themselves had to choose what benefited them more long term. While there are many advocating and siding with independence, CN understands it won't be accomplished if no external support is given, so just cutting off the US will paralyze the functionality of current TW government, and the citizens will have no choice in the long run to stand sides or bear the consequences of "free choice".

This guy is asking great and logical questions. Seems quite objective.

A wise man once said, " provocation is the act of a fool".

If one of her goals is to increase the anti-China sentiment among other countries, she is successful. Another achievement is to further uncouple the China-USA relationship. She got it.

That's is best way to ignore being bullyed.

So, how many fish did they manage to kill when firing all that at the sea?

The higher the volume and frequency of these exercises makes actual threat detection much less effective.

Many of these same points were being made before Russia invaded Ukrainian. We’re screwed.

I remember as a kid in the early 90’s many products where made in Taiwan, then everything was made in China.

As if the USA didn't know what might have happened if they did that. 🤦 They had to demonstratively agitate things. They couldn't have enough communicating over the network.

What did Nancy Pelosi achieve? Instability. Let's say two neighbors basically get along, but are different. One likes to play music, the other likes peace and quiet. If the first neighbor is respectful, they will play music not so loud and not late at night. The second neighbor respects the right of their neighbor to listen to their music. What if another neighbor, who lives far away, says "you have the right to play music as loud and as late as you like". What is the result? Conflict. Anyone who thinks military conflict is justified has never been in war. War is awful resulting in death and destruction. Avoid it, at all costs.

Nancy’s visit was to reassured investors in the chip industry that their inside trading was not only legal but also protected by the US government.

'no longer willing to acknowledge that' we have seen, the U$ does tend not to stick to agreements, but in this case why not let the chinese deceide about their own fate and not americans?

This is the same situation that existed between Japan and the USA just prior to Pearl Harbor

I hope everyone is happier.

This was really good so many people oversimplify the situation as being "well if Russia would have taken Ukraine then China would have immediately gone after Taiwan", completely forgetting that the Taiwan situation is vastly more complicated.

The U.S always trying to mind their business in other countries issues, fix the damn issues we have here to start off ffs 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

China watched to see if NATO would intervene, saw they were getting away with it and are now circling Taiwan for a complete stranglehold on the silicon supply. It was on the cards and planned by both countries.

Cleaned out the liquor cabinet? She’s not accomplished anything worthwhile in thirty years. What on earth would make you think she’d start there.

They waited until she left before they did their fireworks display

"It is US law.. it has to sell arms to Taiwan.."

Apparently the first guest is desperately trying to keep his job.

its not a person visiting someone that's responsible for cutting all ties between two nations, theyre just trying to blame her

Each time Blinken speaks he looks like he wants to cry.

Full facts: It’s not only considered Taiwan by itself its territory, it also by UN resolution 2857, and accepted and promised by 181 nations established formal diplomatic relations with China.

Tention

I surely believe it's none of the US business to intervene in any country's matter and then run away after putting the country in a mess.

Are people just goes nuts? China maintain the dialogue open until that spokeswoman ignored that and decide to went anyway, don't forget that China also said that they will show resolution if people don't listen fist, so the big question is who is inciting who here?

How China going to 'renormalizes' relationship with US? Assuming it is Beijing priority now is way off the bull eye. Since US is not obeying all Beijing decision regarding Taiwan like the rest of the world, this assumption is not realistic at all by the host. 😉

“The only thing that we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history.” Brace for another war in Asian-Pacific, which would be much more severe than what happened in Europe now.

It was totally unnecessary visit. Only increased difficulties for Taiwanese

That was a really rational sensible discussion. Thanks DW.

They could have had a peaceful reunification under the last regime that was respectful to others. The current one is a warmonger.

It’s very possible that China simply will not stop. They may have decided to surround Taiwan permanently in a long term attempt to assimilate Taiwan without firing a single gun.

It s more than high time she retires…a person of her age in charge at that level is a symptom of a struggling democracy

Just to protect her husband's wealth

Very enlightening thanks dw.

Afghanistan ~ perhaps the exodus could have been better executed. But the US had been there for decades. The Afghanistan government had plenty of time over those years to ramp up so they could sustain their own country. As an American I support the withdrawal. American soldiers were dying for a country that wasn’t trying to take care of itself. I am not a specialist in international politics but these are my views as an American citizen.

Basically China is throwing a hissy face and saying "I'm not talking to you anymore" 😂

She showed the world old good Merika!

Inevitable

Greed. Excess greed China..

This Blinken character is renown for contradicting himself and talking in circles.. This video clip is no different. 😂😂😂

I see a lot of people thinking that their countries recognise the one china policy while they don’t. For instance, my country, like many others, acknowledges the one China policy in order to do business with the PRC, but doesn’t recognise it.

It's better to stop corporation. Nobody will ever likes to corporate with her enemies.

G7 vs 160 countries. International community has made its voice versus a small group of nations regarding the Pelosi visit. What a stark contrast of those not respecting and those respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity of another nation?

Another "strong leader" of a "great nation" throwing a tantrum.

Their reaction validates every action and every aliance made against them...

'The number you have dialed is unattended'

Didn’t the current administration argue with Trump saying, “China is our friend”? I don’t see improved relations now, just sayin’

Taiwan & Ukraine must not fall Defend Democracy and stand up against Autocracy, because they will not stop until you submit.

She exposed how childish CCP is

It’s nice to see other Americans in this comment section that are here to learn and get away from the nightmare that is American media

Great work :)

CCP has been acting as a bully for far too long.. It's the time to drop off the hammer and confront that bully

none of them gives a penny for peoples lives so stop talking about right and wrong...its all about money .....and power

Her visit was selfish and not necessary, and I think that world leaders see Anthony Blinken as weak and un-effective.

China has warned many times, and US still let her visit, that's why significant retaliations are inevitable.

With Taiwan 🇹🇼 ❤ 💕

5:30 That's a legitimate concern but at the same time no. Taiwan runs a massive trade surplus from the mainland despite the rivalry between them. If China really wants to deal a blow to Taiwan's economy, they don't need to waste energy to carry out a military blockade as all they need to do is stop buying stuff from Taiwan.

She needed to take the focus off her insider trading...

US international law and order is US law and order. Breaching any of these US law and order is consider threatening US national interests. The guest don’t seemed to read the world future situation correctly. He is assuming all is good in homeland US in the future.

US went ahead and now claimed China is over reacting 😯

Very objective insights from both guests. Thank you!

So it would reasonable for any country to send soldiers into any state in US and provide them with arms to declare independent - entering US. This would be consider peaceful according to Blinken

No such word as PEACE In the vocabulary of this Bully CCP.

She went to seal deals with her husband's chip manufacturers that he just heavily invested in. We the American people are fed up

"What has Nancy Pelosi achieved with her visit to Taiwan?" To show that bullying dictatorships cannot dictate countries what they can and cannot do. In today's world it's more important than ever to stand up to these acts of intimidation instead of creating dangerous precedents that embolden them, like how we did with Russia over the last 15 years. Taiwan is obviously a separate country with their own, highly different culture and ideas concerning how they wish to live their life, and it should be recognized as such instead of sacrificing them to an increasingly militant expansionist dictatorship which would just increase its appetite.

I really like your news channel. One of the legit channels asking legit questions. One source I always go to. Thank you

"The motherland is strong"Hearing sentences like that in 2022 from the normal population is very telling about china...

Please bring on both sides of perspectives into the (or any) discussion, instead of just one-sided western view for the sake of fair journalism.

Well first off, she achieved eliciting the largest military freak out ever by the CCP.

The main reason really is TSMC

Dear Pelosi: I am Taiwanese, I am not Chinese! Thank you very much for protecting democracy and freedom for many years! Welcome and thank you for visiting Taiwan!
