You're saying that nacy, on her own, without anyone's consent, is postruing to CHINA even though that's officially not our stance?

Slow down, breath (and maybe use spellcheck). Do you really think Nanci freaking Pelosi, the most institutional of all institutional politicians, is singlehandedly trying to change US foreign policy?

Why on earth would that make sense?

It wouldn't. She's 100% pushing America's stance, and whether it's explicit or not, that stance is "don't let China control that region (in particular the sea there)".

Then why does the white house say that is not true?

Likewise, she undoubtedly discussed and planned the whole trip with the executive department, whatever they say publicly. This may come as a shock to you, but countries don't just announce their intentions on everything publicly [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

THEN WHY DO YOU KEEP BUILDING MANFUACTURING PLANTS THERE?!

Because humans in the real world (unlike these forums) can handle not going to the extreme on every topic.

Do we want to thwart China's territorial ambitions? 100%, zero doubt. Do we also want cheap Chinese goods? 110%. Both things can be true at once.
