US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived in Taiwan late yesterday. In The Daily Article for August 3, 2022, Dr. Jim Denison focuses on her stated reasons for going, including China’s “crackdown against Hong Kong’s political freedoms,” its “campaign to erase the Tibetan people’s culture,” and its “genocide against Muslim Uyghurs.” Why are China’s leaders acting in such a brutally oppressive manner? Why is this issue relevant to every American and especially every American Christian? See my latest website article, “Was al-Zawahiri a terrorist or a martyr?”.

| 0:00.0 | Today is Wednesday, August 3rd, 2022. Welcome to the Daily Article podcast. Today's article is written by Dr. Jim |
| 0:10.9 | Denison and narrated by Chris Elkins of the Denison Forum. U.S. House of Representative Speaker, |
| 0:16.5 | Nancy Pelosi, arrived in Taiwan late yesterday. She met today with Taiwanese lawmakers and then with |
| 0:22.6 | Taiwan's president. Some are supporting her visit, others are criticizing her, China responded by |
| 0:28.6 | announcing military exercises that will surround the island. My focus today is not on the politics |
| 0:34.6 | of her trip, but on her stated reasons for going. |
| 0:38.1 | Shortly after landing, she stated, |
| 0:40.0 | our congressional delegation's visit to Taiwan honors America's unwavering commitment to supporting Taiwan's vibrant democracy. |
| 0:48.2 | America's solidarity with the 23 million people of Taiwan is more important today than ever, |
| 0:54.0 | as the world faces a choice between |
| 0:56.2 | autocracy and democracy. After she landed, an article she wrote for the Washington Post was |
| 1:02.0 | released that further explained the reasons for her visit. In it, she detailed ongoing abuses |

| 1:20.7 | In Tibet, the Chinese Communist Party has long led a campaign to erase the Tibetan people's |
| 1:26.6 | language, culture, religion, and identity. |
| 1:29.9 | In Jinjiang, Beijing is perpetrating genocide against the Muslim Ouijers and other minorities. |
| 1:36.7 | And throughout the mainland, the Chinese Communist Party continues to target and arrest, |
| 1:42.6 | activists, religious freedom leaders, and others who dare defy the regime. |
| 1:47.4 | End quote. She's right on all counts. Why are China's leaders acting in such a brutally |
