2 No more Ministries of Defence working meetings
3 No more maritime security dialogues
4 No more illegal migrant repatriation
5 No more criminal justice assistance
6 No more climate talks
7 No more cooperation on tackling transnational crimes
8 No more cooperation on anti-drugs measures

s noted by some, the Chinese statement says they have "cancelled" three of the items — theatre leaders' communication; MoD working meetings; "Military Maritime Consultative Agreement" meetings — as well as "suspended" the others

#8  We need a policy of strategic ambiguity with China, a nice-speak blather-storm as we carefully decouple from their manufacturing base and shut down their university and research spy operations. Strict border enforcement to stop their surreptitious fentanyl chemical weapons warfare and a gradual financial markets squeeze on their banking connections. Oh, and perhaps an expedited semi-Star Chamber process for the American elected/political luminaries who speak out against these actions. Skilled financial forensics will find the CCP money behind virtually all of them.

#7  Yawn. Wake me when they stop sending their cargo ships to US ports. I'll have a bottle of champagne chilling in the refrigerator for that day. I still say this is all for show to make Biden and Pelosi look like they're tough on China when the fact is neither one of them ever do anything without Xi Jinping's blessing. A few weeks from now, or maybe after the election, all of this will be forgotten.

#4  Just ban all Chinese trade, set up a blockade to the west of the Strait of Malacca and let nature take its course.

#2  China severs cooperation with US in retaliation for Nancy Pelosi's 'vicious' and 'provocative' Taiwan trip: Tensions spiral as Beijing also sanctions Speaker and Biden demands talks with ambassador after ballistic missile test

#1  Good fucking going Pelosi, now things are much more dangerous.

It's like she wanted to start a war!
