U.S. House Speaker Peosi’s visit to Taiwan affects the hearts of 1.4 billion Chinese people.
The circle of friends that night when visiting Taiwan was full of talking about Pelosi openly and secretly.
Before Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, the mainland raised various protests, including US President Biden , and did not support Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, but why did she travel smoothly?
This must start with the United States separation of powers . What kind of "official" is the Speaker of the House of Representatives? The president can't control it?
Since the founding of the United States, the elites have established a political system of separation of powers, namely the separation of administrative, legislative and judicial powers. Executive system: Cabinet composed of the president, vice president, secretary of state and ministers of various departments. The legislative system consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives; the judicial system is the Supreme Court, the Circuit Court and the state courts. These three are mutually restrictive and mutually supervise.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives belongs to the legislative system. The House of Representatives is actually the "house of representatives" and directly represents the People's Hospital. According to the principle of fairness, the proportion of seats in the House of Representatives in the population is based on the population, but there will be at least one member of parliament. The total number of members in the court was determined to be 435 by law. The term of office of the House of Representatives is two years without a re-election restriction. The Speaker of the House is elected by members of Congress and is traditionally the leader of the majority party. According to the US President's Succession Ordinance, the order in which the Speaker of the House of Representatives succeeds to the President is second only to the Vice President who also serves as the Speaker of the Senate, and is the third most important leader in politics. The name of the Senate actually comes from Senate with Ancient Roman . The people inside can be understood as relatively elite people. The composition is that each state has two senators, and there are a total of 100 senators in 50 states. The Speaker is the Vice President, but the Vice President is not a Senator.
The two houses form the Congress. The most important thing for Congress is to exercise legislative power. In addition, there are personnel appointments, supervision rights and impeachment rights , etc. The two houses also restrain each other. For example, the House of Representatives' bills must be handed over to the Senate for discussion, and then the president will take effect after signing it. But the Senate proposal does not require discussion in the House. But bills such as tax increase can only be proposed by the House of Representatives.

In fact, the founding of the United States is the rule of elites, able to design a so-called political system, and has always been very wary of the so-called democracy. After all, it will have strong destructive power, leading to the tyranny of the majority. There is a detailed discussion in " Federalist Collection of Arts ".
Local time on August 4, 2022, South Korea, Speaker of the United States Congress, Pelosi visited the Panmundian Common Guard Area.
Compared with our Chinese system, House Speaker is equivalent to the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. But in the United States, this position can be regarded as a civil servant, but not an official. President Biden can control the Vice President, Secretary of State, Secretary of State, Secretary of the Exchequer, etc., but cannot control the Speaker of the House of Representatives. At most, he can understand the interests. The final decision was still made by the Speaker himself.
combined with Pelosi's long-standing attitude towards China, which also understands the current sanctions on Pelosi and his family have not been expanded to other American civil servants or administrative officials.
