NANCY PELOSI’S recklessly provocative visit to the breakaway Chinese province of Taiwan will have far-reaching consequences for Sino-US relations going forward.
That one aged US senator and senior Washington functionary believes that the road to stability and peace in East Asia will be served by triggering an international incident is a metric of how out of touch with reality she and her advisers are.
