China 'scared to death' of Pelosi: leaked cable

(AFP) – 16 hours ago

WASHINGTON — China was "scared to death" over a visit by US Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is outspoken on human rights, and rejected her request to visit to Tibet, according to files leaked Monday.

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.

The Chinese are NOT afraid of Nancy. No way... No how. she must be linked to the leaks. COME ON.... No one ever would believe that the Red’s are afraid of the gay capital of the world, San Francisco which Nancy represents. It’s obvious that some of the leaks are false.

8. So perhaps all the venom directed at Pelosi by the Republicans is ...

at the behest of their Chinese masters.

4. And if she had the votes to impeach Bush/Cheney that would have been on the table too

Damn right she would have. Tough speaker who I admire.
