Apparently during her stay in Taipei Pelosi referred to B. Franklin as having been president. Hmmm. I listened, as usual she was slurring, but it did sound like that.

A reality that Chinese Companies and Individuals need to understand, is any US based assets can be seized at any time, based on what was done to Russian assets.

Pelosi Arrives In Seoul, But South Korea's President Won't Meet With Her

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/nancy-pelosi-arrives-seoul-south-koreas-president-wont-meet-her

Nancy Pelosi has arrived in South Korea, continuing her Asia tour - now leaving in her wake a tense Taiwan situation that's seeing Chinese PLA forces encircle the island with live fire drills - but South Korea's President Yoon Suk-yeol will not meet with her.

While he had a pre-scheduled "holiday" which was announced in advance, there's been widespread speculation in the region that this was intentional (given weeks ago it was being reported she may go to Taiwan), so that Seoul can avoid bringing down China's wrath. Even Foreign Minister Park Jin happens to be out of the country - so there will be no Pelosi meeting with the nation's top diplomat either.

Translation- South Korea sees Pelosi’s Asian Trip as a photo op, and wants no part of it.

I think it's a bit worse than that. I believe SKorea didn't want to be any part of angering China.

Very wise, in contrast to the president of Taiwan.

Hearing her muddled, garbled words referring to Franklin made me cringe - isn’t she even older than Biden, and clearly having cognitive issues herself…just appalling.
