    China claimed its military successfully executed "precision
    missile strikes" in the Taiwan Strait Thursday, a day after
    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi left the island.

    China repeatedly condemned Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, which China
    claims as its own territory, and threatened to take action. On
    her final day in Taiwan, China’s navy and air force began
    conducting military exercises in six zones around Taiwan, with
    some overlapping Taiwan’s territorial waters.

    The U.S. responded by deploying several warships to the area.

    "Long-range armed live fire precision missile strikes were
    carried out on selected targets in the eastern area of the
    Taiwan Strait," the Eastern Theater Command of the People's
    Liberation Army, the ruling Communist Party's military wing,
    said in a statement.

    "The expected outcome was achieved," China's military added.

    The military command did not provide additional details.

    Taiwan's Defense Ministry said its own military forces were
    monitoring the Chinese movements while careful to avoid any
    confrontation that could risk escalating the situation.

    China's "irrational behavior" has disrupted peace and stability
    in the region, the ministry said.

    "The three service branches will combine efforts with all the
    people to jointly safeguard national security and territorial
    integrity" of Taiwan, the statement said.

    Xinhua News Agency, China’s official media, reported the
    military exercises were focused on "blockade, sea target
    assault, strike on ground targets, and airspace control."

    The exercises are expected to run from Thursday to Sunday.

    Populist "Let's Make China Great Again" of unelected government does
    require it.

    I had explained in this forum why ritualistic election is irrelevant to democracy before.
    I see no point to repeat myself.

    The only thing I will add is this. Rasmussenreport.com had repeatedly asked likely voters
    on whether the US government had the consent of the people. 3 out 4 respondents
    said NO.
    Of course, Ramsussenreport could be wrong. It is curious that other polling organizations
    have yet to repeat the very important question raised by Rasmussenreport.com. Namely,
    whether the US government has the consent of the people?

    Are they afraid of the truth? I would think so.

    Could you quote *EXACT* wording of the questions asked?

    In practice US voters may be ignored by US government in non KEY issues
    for the voters. Only united voters are hard to ignore.
