IT SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED ITS

MILITARY DRILLS NEAR TAIWAN.

BUT IT'S NOT LEAVING THE ISLAND

ALONE, TAIWAN'S DEFENSE

MINISTRY SAYS THAT IT'S

DETECTED 25 WARPLANES AND SIX

TRIPS AROUND THE TAIWAN STRIP

ON THURSDAY.

THIS COMES MORE THAN A WEEK

AFTER THE U.S. HOUSE SPEAKER

VISIT TO TAIWAN.

CNN'S SELINA WANG REPORTS ON

THE LINGERING TENSIONS.

>> THIS SHOW OF FORCE WAS MADE

FOR TV.

CHINESE SOLDIERS PREPARING FOR

BATTLE.

WARPLANES FLOODING THE SKIES,

DESTROYERS IN CIRCLING THE

WATERS AROUND TAIWAN.

U.S. HOUSE SPEAKER, NANCY

PELOSI WAS IN TAIWAN FOR LESS

THAN 24 HOURS.

BUT BEIJING'S MILITARY DRILLS

IN RESPONSE ARE LASTING FOUR

DAYS.

>> NANCY PELOSI'S VISIT,

ACTUALLY I SEE IT AS A GIFT TO

PRESIDENT XI JINPING BECAUSE HE

CAN USE THAT TO UNITE THE

PEOPLE.

THE FORMER VISIT OUTRAGE WAS

BOOMING IN CHINA OVER COVID

LOCKDOWNS IN ECONOMIC

DEVASTATION FROM CHANGING

SPITTING ZERO COVID POLICY.

EVER SINCE NEWS OF PELOSI'S

POLICY, LEAD PROPAGANDA HAS

BEEN IN OVERDRIVE AND

CAPTIVATING THE NATION.

THE PROMINENT VOICES EVEN

SUGGESTED CHINA SHOULD SHOULD

THE PLANE DOWN.

THE COUNTRY RALLYING BEHIND

BEIJING THAT PELOSI'S VISIT IS

A DIRECT CHALLENGE TO CHINA'S

SOVEREIGNTY.

EVEN THOUGH THE COMMUNIST PARTY

HAS NEVER ROLLED OVER TAIWAN

PEOPLE IN TEN ARE TAUGHT FROM

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT TAIWAN

IS PART OF THE MOTHERLAND AND

COMMUNICATION IS ONLY A MATTER

OF TIME.

THE NIGHT OF PELOSI'S VISIT,

MILLION OF PEOPLE IN CHINA

TRACK THEIR FLIGHT IN REALTIME,

WAITING TO SEE IF THE MILITARY

WOULD INTERVENE.

WHEN SHE LANDED SAFELY, THE

MOST HARD-CORE PREACHY HEADS

WERE DISAPPOINTED AND SOME EVEN

BREAKING INTO TEARS AT THE

STATE MEDIA HAD LIED TO THEM

ABOUT THE UNPRECEDENTED

MEASURES BEIJING WOULD TAKE TO

STOP HER.

BUT THE MILITARY BILLS THAT

FOLLOWED PROVED TO BE MORE

PROVOCATIVE THAN BEFORE.

SHOOTING ROCKETS TOWARDS TAIWAN

HISTORY AND OVER THE ISLAND FOR

THE FIRST TIME.

CHINESE WARPLANES FLEW EVER

CLOSER TO TAIWAN AND IN GREATER

NUMBERS THIS TIME.

AND CIRCLING THE ISLAND IN THE

PRACTICE BLOCKADE, AND WELL THE

MOOD IN CHINA QUICKLY CHANGED.

SOME EVEN STARTED THANKING

PELOSI ON CHINA'S TWITTER LIKE

PLATFORM.

ONE, WROTE THE UNIFICATION OF

THE MOTHERLAND WILL SOON BE

REALIZED, THANKS PELOSI FOR

YOUR HELPING HAND.

THEY PROVIDED A LOT MORE

BENEFIT BECAUSE THEY USED IT AS

AN OPPORTUNITY AND TO

DEMONSTRATE POWER.

THE MILITARY POWER AND PROVIDED

POLITICAL AMMUNITION THAT XI

JINPING NEEDS TO SOLIDIFY.

>> XI JINPING MAY HAVE TURNED

THEIR CRISIS INTO THEIR

ADVANTAGE AT HOME.

BUT IT BROUGHT HIS FURTHER

ANTAGONIZE THE.

U.S. AND INCREASE TAIWAN'S

RESENTMENT TOWARDS THE

MAINLAND.
