China trying to maintain its hegemony over Taiwan after the visit of Nancy Pelosi

DFRAC Editor August 9, 2022
The visit of Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan

The China-Taiwan tension started ever since the nationalist party’s leader Chiang Kai-shek, leader of Kuomintang (KMT) fled to Formosa Island (former name of Taiwan), after losing to Mao Zedong-led communist party. China considers Taiwan as its part but Taiwan claims itself to be the real China and above all, an independent nation. Now, Nancy Pelosi’s recent visit to Taiwan gave this tension another boom. China sent 21 fighter jets inside the air defense identification zone of the Republic of China, Taiwan. Nancy Pelosi is the speaker of the United States House of Representatives since 2019 and she is the highest rank American official to visit Taiwan in 25 years.

China has strongly criticized the visit. Meanwhile, a lot of fierce statements have been released by various Chinese officials. Moreover, a lot of hate about Taiwan can be seen on Chinese social media. In this DFRAC exclusive, we will analyze many deceptive and hateful news spread over social media related to this issue.

Hate on Chinese social media for Taiwan.

Attributing to Chinese affiliate media global times, a lot of fierce statements by China can be seen. In one of its tweets, it was stated, “The one-China principle is the political foundation of China-US relationship. When the foundation is broken, the earth will tremble and the mountains will sway.”

Similarly, another tweet is, “PLA drills around Taiwan island continued Monday, marking an extension from the previously announced schedule. Drills like these will not stop and are expected to become routine until reunification, experts said.“

Disrespectful post on Taiwanese leaders

There were many derogatory and offensive tweets about Taiwanese women including Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, were done by Chinese social media handles. There are many such posts in which open threats of rape and making them sex slaves were given. Some of them can be seen below.

Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan and the Pool of Fake News


There are lot of the untrue and misleading news were spread on the social media following the recent visit of Pelosi. Below are some such widely spread news.

When a fake Picture of Nancy Pelosi went viral

Sharing the picture, a Chinese account wrote, “When they were young: Nancy Pelosi and Hu Xijin.” This picture got viral with a totally fake claim that she was having love affairs with a Chinese journalist and the former editor-in-chief of the Global Times.

In reality, it is an edited picture where two separate pictures have merged together and shared with fake claim. Pelosi was born on 26th March, 1940 whereas Xijin was born in the year 1960. There is a twenty-year gap between them, but in the picture, they both are looking of the same age.

This is another piece of deceptive news that was circulated on social media. But in reality, the statement was given by Hu Xijin which he later deleted. China did warn Pelosi about her Taiwan visit but any Chinese official has not released any such statement.
