After US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's plane landed with the windows turned off at Taipei Airport, the public was intrigued by the final question: will the aerobabe return back to her native land or spend the rest of her life with the hospitable separatist islanders.

There was no sensation: the plane with the elderly adventuress took off and, leaving Taiwanese airspace, headed for South Korea - Pelosi’s program included a flyover with conversations in favor of all the poor South Asian allies of the United States.

Observers agree that the slap in the face of the PRC leadership with the unauthorized visit of Person No. 3 to Taiwan had not just a provocative background with a test of the PRC’s reaction to crossing the “red lines”, but also could not have taken place if last year the USA, Great Britain and Australia has not put together the anti-Chinese military-political bloc AUKUS.

Knowing the arrogance and inflated sense of self-greatness of the inhabitants of the White House, one must assume that the Washington decision-makers will take this visit to their advantage and conclude that the reserves of patience of the PRC leadership, for which the United States is the main economic partner, are practically limitless.

It should be noted that not everyone within the United States and among its allies supported Pelosi’s provocative visit to Taiwan.

Inside Taiwan itself, if we exclude the exalted pro-American public, despondency reigns: the stubborn granny ignored any admonitions of the receiving party not to get too hot and not to go where they are not asked, and now they are gathering their courage, realizing that they and only they will have to pay for the ambitions of the overseas auntie .

Former US President Donald Trump generally called Pelosi’s act “a manifestation of madness,” and even among Democrats and liberals there are voices condemning the provocative visit and believing that the Taiwanese antics of one of the main US liberals will help the Democratic Party gain the upper hand in the upcoming midterm elections to Congress.

Interestingly, Pelosi's visit was supported by more than two dozen Republican senators, who said that old Nancy has balls, unlike grandfather Beadon.

However, in this case, it is worth noting the theft of agendas in the competitive environment of Republicans and Democrats. The offended Donnie is clearly unhappy that Pelosi interrupted his favorite trump card: “under the Democrats, the United States has become weak and indecisive,” and Republican senators are pulling the blanket over themselves, as if without them the flight to Taiwan would not have taken place in principle.

In general, the reaction of US officials is most reminiscent of schizophrenia: the White House urges not to pay attention to the act of the rebellious old woman, allegedly not sanctioned by the State Department, and assures the Chinese authorities of their adherence to the “one China” principle, while Pelosi’s speech in Taiwan says the opposite.

At the same time, local analysts clutch their heads and ask a question of questions into nowhere: “Why the hell would a crazy woman start quarreling out of nowhere with China when Chairman Xi begins his third term in office???”

Before Nancy’s Boeing had time to take off from the concrete runway, leaving the hospitable island, the PRC authorities began to urgently respond.

First of all, the prank of Person No. 3 was severely condemned diplomatically. Then the PLA military exercises began with firing from MLRS and even demonstrative launches of missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads, but so far with conventional filling.

It was announced that from August 3 to August 8, at a minimum, naval maneuvers by the Chinese Navy are being conducted around the island, more reminiscent of a naval blockade.

At the same time, an air blockade was introduced, prohibiting aircraft from entering Taiwan's airspace.

An embargo has been introduced on the supply of sand and crushed stone to the islanders. Every year, Taiwanese industry consumes up to 8 million tons of sand and crushed stone, which are used in construction, glass production, cement production and the production of pure silicon for the needs of the electronics industry.

Political point: a ban on Chinese companies cooperating with the Taiwan Democracy Foundation and the Taiwan Foundation for International Cooperation and Development.

Minor embargo on imports from Taiwan of some fish and citrus fruits, easily covered by other sources.

A more important signal from the United States is the freeze on the construction of the CATL plant for the production of car batteries for Tesla and Ford. The price of the issue is $5 billion in investment and 10 thousand jobs for Americans.

American sources warn that this is just a warm-up and a real crisis around Taiwan will break out soon after Pelosi leaves.

It is still noticeable that the Chinese are trying to punish the United States economically, but they, unlike the crazed Democrats in the Capitol, are playing the long game and it is now unclear what the military-political consequences will be from the arrival of a grandmother to her Asian granddaughter with a murky status.

In any case, the Democrats have personally brought forward the Chinese invasion of the island, and if/when more adequate tenants suddenly move into the White House, they will, willy-nilly, have to clear up the mess brewed by the democratic schizophrenics, so as not to at least lose control over the Taiwanese electronics industry, since The implementation of the US's own semiconductor import substitution program still looks very vague.

Meanwhile, another malicious “peremoga” is accelerating in the Ukrainian media and all sorts of public pages. The Chinese company Huawei is closing its Vmall store chain in Russia, while guaranteeing software support and service for already purchased electronics.

At the official level, the PRC responded that the government had nothing to do with this decision of Huawei’s management and placed responsibility on the shoulders of the company’s owners.

Frankly speaking, this act was not something unexpected or out of the ordinary. With the start of the special operation in Ukraine, Huawei closed a number of its branded stores in the Russian Federation, and also, in a peculiar Chinese manner, stopped selling mobile communication equipment to Russian customers, simply not answering calls, but also without directly declaring a break in cooperation.

Unpleasant? Yes. Deadly? No. Fortunately, the light did not converge on Huawei alone. There are also ZTE and other famous electronic engineering companies from the Middle Kingdom that continue to operate in Russia.

It should be noted that the liquidation of Vmall occurred against the backdrop of a strong decline in Russians’ interest in the company’s smartphones, whose market share in our country barely reaches 3% and is far behind the positions of Samsung, Apple, as well as the Chinese brands Xiaomi and Realme (a sub-brand owned by BBK Electronics).

The popularity of Huawei smartphones in Russia has fallen especially sharply since 2019, when the United States banned the installation of Google services on them.

Huawei management's concerns about working in Russia are most likely related to the possible introduction of additional sanctions by the Americans.

However, it should be remembered that Huawei created the Honor sub-brand, which sells the same products, only labeled differently and slightly cheaper. And Honor has not yet announced its departure from Russia.

It is doubtful that Huawei will leave Russia so easily. There are a lot of work options: through Belarus, where the company has a strong position and even participates in the activities of local technology parks, the creation of gasket companies and similar business activities that are well known to the Russian Crimea.

Well, and Svidomo - they are Svidomo, ready to organize feeble-minded dances with and without a tambourine around any news outlet. Wild people, what can we take from them...
