The Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives: Nancy Pelosi visit Taiwan with her son
#Pelosi visit Taiwan with her son# [Anonymous man’s identity exposed! Pelosi went to Taiwan and secretly brought her son, and was questioned for favoritism! ] The Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, was ridiculed as a “Capitol Hill stock god” because she relied on inside information to make profits. The latest scandal shows that her “chaotic trip” to incite cross-strait confrontation and intensify Sino-US conflict is not only full of political calculations, but also has economic self-interest. Some American media discovered that Pelosi’s son, Paul Pelosi Jr., was neither an official nor his adviser, but spent American taxpayers’ money to follow her around Asia. Under the media’s questioning, Pelosi admitted on the 10th that there was such a thing, but denied that Paul Jr.’s trip was related to business transactions. The information disclosed by the media and the bad deeds of the Pelosi family’s political and business collusion make her defense difficult to believe. On the same day, Pelosi held a press conference with the congressmen who went to Taiwan with her, talking about the US policy towards Taiwan and making irresponsible remarks about the Chinese side’s response. Under the revelation of the media, Pelosi’s performance was full of hypocrisy.
“Pelosi admitted”
Fox News first exposed the incident. The report said that last week, Pelosi secretly took her son Paul Jr. on a special plane to Asia. There is no name of Paul Jr. in Pelosi’s official visiting group list, and no clues can be found on the official website of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, because they do not want the outside world to know this and what Paul Jr. is doing. But if you look closely at the photo, you will find him. Besides Taiwan, he has also been photographed by foreign photographers in Singapore, Malaysia and Japan. Fox News host Jesse Waters quipped that Paul Jr. was not an elected official or an adviser to Pelosi, and he didn’t even live in Washington, but he was welcomed like a royal by Taiwanese leaders.
Taiwan’s “United Daily News” reported on the 11th that Taiwan and the United States are very low-key on this matter. The information and photos released by the Taiwan side did never mention Paul Jr., but he was featured in the group photo. Regarding whether Taiwan assisted in concealing Paul’s identity, Taiwan’s foreign affairs department stated that the cost of Pelosi’s visit was paid by the US government, and the Taiwan side only provided “administrative” support.
Paul Jr., 52, is Pelosi’s only son. Fox News said that many American media reported Pelosi’s every move in the Pacific Ocean, but somehow did not notice that her son Paul Jr. was among them. But the revelation drew a lot of attention on social media. Some Twitter users angrily questioned Pelosi’s reckless visit to Taiwan and asked American taxpayers to pay for her son’s trip.
Why did Pelosi let her son in on her Asia trip? The American “El American” news network said that Paul Jr. is a manager of a subsidiary of St. George’s Ecological Mining Company and a member of the board of directors of Altair International. Both companies are investing heavily in the mining sector, particularly the extraction of cobalt and lithium, two metals that are critical to making semiconductors and batteries. Taiwan, Japan and South Korea are all important producing areas of semiconductors. According to Fox News, Paul Jr. has also invested heavily in the energy industry in Singapore, which happens to be one stop on Pelosi’s Asian tour.
On the 10th, Pelosi was pressed by reporters on the matter. She said: “His (Paul Jr.) role is to accompany me. Usually we invite spouses, but not all spouses can come. I’m proud of him (Paul Jr.) there.” Pelosi deliberately defended, Her son had no business dealings during the trip. But she had admitted that she had indeed sneaked her son into the Asian line.
“The family is making money”
Pelosi’s statement that “not everyone’s spouses can come” is thought to be referring to her husband, Paul Pelosi, who needed to appear in court over a drink-driving scandal at the time. “El American” news network said that Paul has repeatedly been accused of using his wife’s privileged information as Speaker of the House of Representatives to plan lucrative trades in the stock market. And little Paul seems to be following in his father’s footsteps. Some American media questioned whether Paul Jr. made money for the family by selling influence during his trip to Asia?
Paul Jr. has ties to at least five business entities being investigated for alleged fraud, but he himself has not been charged, according to the New York Post. When asked about conflicts of interest, Pelosi flatly refused to support the Prohibition of Congressional Stock Exchange Act. Citing “we are a free market economy,” she said “members of Congress can get involved in stock trading.”
The well-known American new media “medium” said on the 10th that one of the most powerful people in the country used taxpayer money to travel to Asia, and brought her son with him, in order to make the companies he participated in profit, and then Benefit him. It’s no surprise that there is a Twitter account dedicated to tracking Pelosi’s stock trades. The media and politicians discuss why Americans have lost trust in the system. We’re all used to it, haven’t we? Politicians and their families rejoice, but the American public continues to suffer.
“do a seemingly clever thing”
On the 10th local time, Pelosi held a press conference with congressmen who were on the stage with her to justify her troublesome trip. Pelosi claimed that her visit “did not deviate” from the US policy toward Taiwan, and said she “doesn’t remember” that the US military told them not to go to Taiwan. She claimed that the United States cannot allow China’s military behavior around Taiwan Island to become the “new normal”. In the face of the situation that caused concern to the whole world caused by her insistence on going to Taiwan, Pelosi claimed in an interview with CNBC on the 9th that it was “worth it”, threatening that “China (mainland) will not be allowed to isolate Taiwan.”
“The United States has neither legal reasons nor moral reasons to decide the fate of other countries and people.” RIA Novosti reported on the 11th that in response to Pelosi’s remarks, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova reminded her and added: “Obviously, Pelosi didn’t hear the US Secretary of State calling on countries to respect the sovereignty and independence of all countries a few days ago, or does she think this logic does not apply to the United States?”
Russian “tsargrad” TV said that British economist Roger Bootle made a point when he wrote an article in the British media: Pelosi is more terrible than the new crown virus. He said a conflict between China and the United States would become an “economic and military nightmare” for the world. The world economy has already experienced difficulties during the COVID-19 epidemic, and the impact of Pelosi’s election on the global economy will be worse than the COVID-19 virus.
Zhou Bo, a researcher at the Center for Strategic and Security Studies at Tsinghua University, wrote in Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post on the 11th that history is not always written by the victors, but also by the losers. Pelosi on stage is a prime example of how a self-centered egoist can steal money without losing money. The incident gave Beijing an opportunity to demonstrate military capabilities while providing impetus for efforts to strengthen reunification.
