PRC leaders have used a multi-pronged strategy of ratcheting up military pressure around Taiwan, shrinking its international space, and trying to compel Taiwan to integrate its economy with the mainland — and not apart from it.

This little stunt of Pelosi's only made them turn up the heat:

You should look at how far the borders of china & Pakistan have moved. They have multiple times killed many Pakistani solders and pushed the borders miles into their territory.

(And none of this has anything to do with "white colonizer bullshit".)
