Nancy Pelosi has that D.C. touch—everything she touches turns to ash.
The absolute last thing she should be doing is interfering in tense international affairs. Say what you will about Russia, but they do not have the power to start WWIII. China does.
Pelosi thinks that her meddling is cute—it isn’t. It’s one thing when she messes up things at home—that’s fixable. It’s another thing entirely for her to be agitating between the U.S. and China.
She may be considered a senior-level stateswoman, despite her incompetence, but I can’t stress how she falls apart overseas. Pelosi can only handle (and not very well) domestic affairs.
No one respects her internationally and she comes off as being a Karen when dealing with the international community. Personally, I do not doubt that she will say or do something to agitate Chinese officials—She will push us closer to war.
They recently threatened to blow up her plane if she visits Taiwan—calling her planned visit a potential act of war if she is accompanied by fighter jets, and I have no reason to doubt their sincerity.
President Trump instinctively knows this and he recently posted a message warning that her involvement with China will only make things worse:
Do you think ALL THE THREATS from China on Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan is a FALSE FLAG created in cooperation with both governments?

Fox News had more on Pelosi’s Asia trip:
At a Capitol Hill press conference on Friday, Pelosi declined to clarify her plans for the trip, citing security issues.
“Well, I don’t ever talk about my travel, because as some of you know, it’s a security issue,” the speaker said.
“It’s a security issue for every member of Congress traveling — especially abroad. But for the speaker, it is an additional security issue, and for those traveling with me, not just members, but staff, et cetera.”

According to the Daily Wire, the CCP has threatened to shoot down Pelosi’s plane:
“If US fighter jets escort Pelosi’s plane into Taiwan, it is invasion,” Hu said.
“The PLA has the right to forcibly dispel Pelosi’s plane and the US fighter jets, including firing warning shots and making tactical movement of obstruction.
If ineffective, then shoot them down.”
