The video follows a message reading “Get ready for war!” posted by China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) 80th Group over the US visit to Taiwan, as reported on Friday, July 29.
The post on China readying for war, comes after Nancy Pelosi, speaker for the United States House of Representatives, has enraged China after talks of a possible US visit to Taiwan, a move that would potentially recognise Taiwan as an independent sovereign state, and not as the Republic of China.
However, many politicians are concerned that now that the news of the hypothetical visit has spread, if the US does not send Pelosi, it will look like the nation has backed down in front of China.
Further users took to Twitter to comment on the state of affairs:
😮 Nancy Polios is actually going to land a plane in Taiwan (according to Bloomberg)? HUH? SMH. So, she is trying to be a martyr? Bcuz it's likely she's going to die (as threatened by China publicly) B4 her plane even lands Taiwan. US has not seen real war for generations. — Mr. A (@1MrA) August 1, 2022
