In America lately, every time someone complains or issues a threat of a lawsuit, businesses and individuals tuck their tails between their legs, apologize and vow to never offend again. It's sickening. Sometimes, employees who meant no harm to begin with get fired.
Pelosi may or may not have done the right thing. We'll know in time. But right now I'm proud that she didn't take the usual coward's way out of this mess. She's always had guts. She still does.
(I still can't stand her, but she's made me proud today.)
China ain't gonna do a thing about it anyway. They thought they could intimidate us with their threats.
The US has provided weapons to numerous countries and has helped topple numerous regimes since WW2, so can hardly point the finger at others.
My point is direct confrontation and engagement of US pilots with Russian pilots in two wars did not lead to a larger conflict between the US and Russia, which is what so many here are fearful of.
As for your other points, if Biden wants Pelosi to stop, he has the means to put pressure on her.
so if a senator said he gonna nuke china, is that official US government policy lol. china has 50 millions communist party members so anyone said they gonna nuke US, is that means thats official china policy lol. you read too much into things, dont you know media/politician often exaggerate or BS things.
heck just few days ago there were communist party member said they gonna shoot down Nancy plane, did they do it?
also they are saying, they are attacking japan if they intervene in china-taiwan war. so if japan doesn't intervene in that war militarily , china is not gonna attack japan.
china intention is always taiwan, so anyone involve in that war, they will also become target.

Pelosi proved them wrong.
Since Nixon re-established the diplomatic relationship with China, none high-level US government official has ever visited Taiwan. It is like a tacit agreement, but now has broken, along with all the mutual trust and respect.
For the time being, China does not know how to react, but it will be naïve to assume they won't react for the long run...

Biden can't even control Pelosi never mind the actions of Russia or China.

Well, I don't believe for one minute that China will nuke us for this. That seems to be the prevailing fear around here.
What can China do, really? China doesn't own Taiwan. Taiwan welcomed the visit. Americans don't take orders from China.
If that woman starts WW3 with the loss of American lives I hope she is the first to go. She is completely anti-American.
I'm pretty sure her trip to Asia is about the CHIPS Act.
