What's fxxxing wrong with DC policy makers of today? The visit is as dangerous as what we did in Ukraine coup 2014. China will certainly retaliate. Standing up to China is right, but not in a stupid and dangerous way. The visit, if true, means our long held One China policy from our policy makers of old generation is over.
It was diplomatic kowtowing pure and simple just to gain access to their markets... and that has not worked out to our favor.
Meanwhile, China is a paper tiger... and have zero institutional understanding on how to fight a serious war.
If XI can play the strong man why can't we?
I'm tired of always appeasing despots.
