Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan would be 'ill-conceived' and 'reckless' • FRANCE 24 English

IN THE PRESS – August 2: We look at reactions to the US drone strike that killed al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri. Also, papers lambast US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's planned trip to Taiwan for spurring tensions with China at a thorny time in geopolitics. Finally, French teenagers swap their phones for fishing rods (sort of) and discover the joys of fishing this summer!

Mind blowing, It would be interesting to know which could qualify more as the "side-hustle" – was it terrorism or being an eye doctor?

Taiwan is a part of China because China has 2 parts due to civil war, Taiwan of China and mainland of China. Currently both 2 parts have their own administrations but UN and almost all countries admit mainland China as the country China. Sooner or later both parts will be united because separation caused by civil war should not last long.

A 79-year-old grandpa is sending an 82-year-old grandma to DIEwan province for a visit. Which might provoke a war, Both of them finished 90% of their lifespan!! And yet they will ruin all other young lives in this world.

I hope she does go there, And China does cause issues, then all the free people in this world and will definitely know who the enemy is going to be and be ready for it. And as she is so unpopular she is the perfect person. Good luck 🥂
