On the one hand it was kind of unnecessarily provocative (not to mention pointless) to send Pelosi there, especially knowing how sensitive this issue is to the Chinese.
On the other hand it was a real case of the Chinese feelings getting hurted the way they over reacted. Like a baby spitting the dummy.
If they'd just ignored it it's unlikely anyone would have paid much attention to the visit.

Xi either has to fight a war or maybe see if the US will settle for a 25 year lease. If he settles for a lease , his govt will fall.
If sailing a couple carrier groups into the Taiwan strait isn't gunboat diplomacy I don't know what is.

Pelosi says China "will not isolate Taiwan" as drills ramp up near island
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday responded to China's live military drills around Taiwan by saying that Beijing won't succeed in isolating the self-governing island nor stop U.S. officials from visiting Taipei.
Driving the news: Pelosi made the comments after meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Tokyo as she wrapped up this week's congressional delegation trip to Asia that included a visit to Taiwan, which triggered the drills that Beijing plans to last for several days.
- Pelosi denounced China's military for firing missiles into the sea near Taiwan on Thursday, demanding it "immediately" stop the launches as Japanese officials estimated that five ballistic missiles landed in Japan's exclusive economic zone.
- There were no immediate reports of China's military firing missiles on Friday, but Taiwan's Defense Ministry said multiple Chinese warships and fighter aircraft were "participating in drills around Taiwan Strait and have crossed the median line."
What they're saying: Pelosi said Beijing had tried to isolate Taipei with action such as opposing the World Health Organization from granting recognition to Taiwan.
- "The Chinese made their strikes, probably using our visit as an excuse," she said.
- "They may try to keep Taiwan from visiting or participating in other places but they will not isolate Taiwan," Pelosi said. "They are not doing our traveling schedule, the Chinese government is not doing that."
Of note: Secretary of State Antony Blinken raised concern on the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit in Cambodia that Beijing might be trying to change the status quo in the Taiwan Strait.
- ""We and countries around the world believe that escalation serves no one and could have unintended consequences that serve no one's interests, including ASEAN members, and including China," Blinken said.
Flashback: China's foreign minister said the day before Thursday's live ammunition drills near Taiwan that Pelosi's Taipei visit was a "farce" and those "who offend China will surely be punished."
Context: The ruling Chinese Communist Party considers the democratically run island as a breakaway province.
China has prohibited use of the phrase "Made in Taiwan" on any product the island now exports to the mainland, and now must use the name "Chinese Taipei" or "Taiwan, China".

Pentagon chiefs’ calls to China go unanswered amid Taiwan crisis
Top Chinese military officials have not returned multiple calls from their American counterparts this week as a crisis erupted in the Pacific over House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, according to three people with knowledge of the attempts.
Beijing’s ghosting of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs Chair Gen. Mark Milley comes as China continues launching missiles and positioning warships and aircraft in unprecedented military drills around Taiwan. Officials and experts say China’s silence is a shortsighted and reckless move that increases the risk of escalation in an already tense situation.
“If the [Chinese military] is operating more aggressively, and in closer proximity to U.S. forces with greater frequency, we’d need these mechanisms even more to promote a safe operating environment,” said Randy Schriver, who served as the top Pentagon official for Asia policy in the Trump administration.
U.S. military leaders strive to maintain open lines of communication even with potential adversaries such as China to prevent accidents and other miscalculations that could turn into a full-blown conflict.

According to Pelosi's financial disclosure filing last year, her husband Paul Pelosi Sr had assets of between $50,000 and $100,000 in a San Francisco-based financial firm called Matthews International Mutual Fund which is active in Asia, including Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland, reported the South China Morning Post.
Pelosi's family has had millions of dollars on the line when it comes to China, US writer Peter Schweizer revealed in his book, Breitbart reported, and Pelosi's husband was also involved with multiple limousine services, including one that catered to the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing, the report noted.
Pelosi's son, Paul Pelosi Jr, also sought business opportunities in China via two companies, International Media Acquisition Corp and Global Tech Industries Group, according to the report.
