Several GOP congressmen have already said they are going to Taiwan in a few weeks.
I don’t follow US politics. Can someone explain why this seems so likely?

@MaxG I used to work for a Speaker years ago so my take is somewhat that of an insider. Just politically speaking Nancy did it and the CCP was triggered hilariously so now every Speaker will do it for the foreseeable future or risk their party looking weaker than Nancy (they still are regardless) and the CCP looking like their flexing during her visit somehow influenced our support of Taiwan (it very much did not). Plus McCarthy was butt hurt Nancy didn't invite him and he has already promised not only to visit himself, but he wants to bring dozens of members of both parties with him.
Personally I think Apple should just buy TSMC and then the whole idea of who Taiwan belongs to is settled, it would be Tim Cook’s. I trust him so much more than any political figure.

@MaxG Where are you from? Not America I take it? It is hard to explain if you are of a different mindset, but Americans of all political persuasions DO NOT like being told they can't do something. Our political system was founded in defiance and has pretty much maintained that tone ever since. Telling us we can't almost guarantees we will.


This is the only thing I can think of that is almost guaranteed to happen no matter which party holds the Speakership now that Nancy has shown how much it annoys the CCP. America antagonizes better (or maybe it's worse?) than anyone.
