On a Thursday morning call, American president Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping discussed a wide variety of issues, ranging from climate change to health.
One of the main items on Xi’s agenda, however, was a potential upcoming visit to Taiwan by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. According to Reuters, Xi warned Biden that any actions by US government officials that could be considered friendly to Taiwan would not go unnoticed by Beijing.
“Those who play with fire will only get burnt,” Xi said, adding that the Chinese hope US officials “see this clearly.”
In response, Biden told Xi that the American position on Taiwan remained consistent in opposition to Beijing’s efforts to threaten the stability of the island.
Xi’s statements were similar to those made on Wednesday by Zhao Lijian, a spokesperson for the Chinese government.
“If the US insists on going its own way and challenging China’s bottom line,” they said , “it will surely be met with forceful responses. All ensuing consequences shall be borne by the US.”
News that Pelosi might pay a visit to Taiwan, becoming the first Speaker to do so since 1997, comes amid months of tense relations between the US and China as the former continues to support the island militarily.
In April, following the announcement of a $95 million deal between the US and Taiwan, Chinese officials claimed that the Biden administration had violated the ” one-China principle ,” an American policy that recognizes the government of the People’s Republic of China as “the sole legal Government of China.”When the policy was put in place in 1979, however, the US never gave in to pressure from China to recognize Taiwan as being controlled by the PRC, only “acknowledging” their claim over the island.Since then, the threat of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan has caused the US […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
