Nancy Pelosi

The White House has declined to comment on a threat by a Chinese state media figure that the Chinese military should "shoot down" a plane carrying House Speaker Nancy Pelosi if she visits Taiwan with a military escort. .

"As for what is related to the Speaker's travels, it is something that we simply will not talk about. Right now this is hypothetical," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on July 29.

Jean-Pierre's comments came in response to a question about the White House's position on recent comments made by Hu Xijin, the former editor-in-chief of the Chinese Communist Party-controlled Global Times.

Hu suggested that China's military, the People's Liberation Army (PLA), should use force against Pelosi if she visits Taiwan with US military protection.

"If US warplanes escort Pelosi's plane to Taiwan, it's an invasion." Hu said in a tweet.

“The military has the right to forcefully disperse Pelosi's plane and US fighter jets, including warning shots and tactical interception. If they are ineffective, then drop them.”

Hu's comments were just the latest in a growing list of belligerent rhetoric emanating from Beijing and its various mouthpieces.

In May, China's defense secretary threatened to launch a war "no matter the cost" to prevent Taiwan's de facto independence from being recognized internationally.

Likewise, Chinese Communist leader Xi Jinping threatened President Joe Biden in a phone call on Thursday, warning that the United States is "playing with fire" on the Taiwan issue. The saga comes amid reports that Pelosi was planning a personal visit to Taiwan, which was previously scheduled for April.
