The US House of Representative’s Speaker Nancy Pelosi has “seriously interfered in China’s internal affairs” and as a direct result a full blown conflict between Beijing and Taiwan could happen at any moment.
A retired army General has warned “that war” with China will involve “high technology” and it “will be sharp, it will be fast and we won’t have a clue that it’s coming.”

Pelosi’s visit was reckless as she and the White House were warned not to interfere with “China’s internal affairs” and as a result Beijing has now sanction the US House Speaker and her family after breaking the “One China” policy.
The sanctions against Pelosi has further damaged ties between China and the White House and volatile and hostile action against Taiwan could spark into a full blown war.
Former major general and now Australian Senator Jim Molan warned that China holds all the cards and should they attack US resources in the region this will come as a surprise for America.
Molan said, “Whatever it will be that war will be high technology, it will be sharp, it will be fast – and we won’t have a clue that it’s coming.”
Song Zhongping, who is a military expert warned that China’s “operational plans” which are being rehearsed” could “be directly translated into combat operations.”
Quoted by the Times, he said the “comprehensive and highly targeted” operations shows “the determination of resolving Taiwan question once and for all.”
“In the event of a future military conflict, it is likely that the operational plans currently being rehearsed will be directly translated into combat operations,” he added.
A Chinese government spokesperson said, “Despite China’s serious concerns and firm opposition, Pelosi insisted on visiting Taiwan, seriously interfering in China’s internal affairs, undermining China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, trampling on the one-China policy, and threatening the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait.”
Eight difference treaties between the US and China have now been cancelled since the Pelosi visit and the China-US Military Maritime Consultative Agreement (MMCA) meetings have been cancelled.
