This is one of the best tidbits I’ve seen from Wikileaks.

I doubt there are many American politicians who could frighten China, but Nancy Pelosi did:

A top diplomat at the US embassy in Beijing said he asked China to consider letting Pelosi go to Tibet during her May 2009 visit to China, according to a cable obtained by whistleblower site WikiLeaks. Vice Foreign Minister He Yafei responded that China could not arrange the trip due to Pelosi’s “tight schedule,” according to the cable reprinted by Britain’s Guardian newspaper. The Chinese ambassador in Kazakhstan was blunter, telling his US counterpart over an expansive dinner that Beijing was “fearful” over Pelosi’s visit. “She had the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) scared to death on the eve of her visit,” Ambassador Cheng Guoping was quoted as saying in the classified memo by US Ambassador Richard Hoagland.

Pelosi is one of the few American politicos who actually stands for something and is willing to fight for what she believes in.

China will have a welcoming parade for John Boehner. He’s not going to challenge that country on anything. That would upset his corporate puppet-masters. In fact, on September 29th, when the House passed legislation “to punish China for policies that unfairly favor its exports at the expense of the United States and other countries,” by a 348 – 79 margin (one of the few truly bipartisan votes in this Congress), Boehner sided with the communist regime in China.
