《华盛顿邮报》(The Washington Post)引述美国政府官员表示,拜登政府官员愈来愈担心美国众议院议长裴洛西(Nancy
Pelosi)8月访问台湾的计划可能引发台海重大危机,包括白宫及一票国安官员已经向裴洛西及她的团队彙报现在访台的风险,官员们希望在不引发公众骚动的情况下“劝退”裴洛西。
The PRC is wrong in its belief that “The
U.S. side has the ability to stop these clowns from performing in
Taiwan,” or that the president can prevent Pelosi from visiting
Taiwan. https://t.co/f5t5AlANhc
所谓“恐爆重大危机”基本上都是因为美国军方公开表示“佩洛希飞机可能被中国击落”这句话引起的,美国众议院议长访台这也不是第一次!“... The last time a House speaker visited Taiwan was in 1997, when Newt Gingrich met then-President Lee Teng-hui....”
Given the geopolitical situation, I don’t think it’s a question of whether Nancy Pelosi will visit Taiwan. You betcha she will! Otherwise she wouldn’t have released the info to the media. It’s a matter of when. Later in the fall would be a better time. By then Russia is expected to suffer humiliation in Ukraine. Xi should have already secured his next term as the CCP boss and become less sensitive to Taiwan issue. My two cents.

Obviously the Biden administration is calculating risks and rewards of the planned Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan. If done right, this visit will strengthen America’s hand in the zero-sum game with China in Taiwan Strait.
