"The U.S. side speaks of crisis control as a kind of guardrail, but China talks about the fact that Sino-U.S. relations should be on the right track - if the U.S. and China are on the wrong track, then the guardrail will only make both sides move further and further down the wrong road." This well spoken quote captures the worry I have about Pelosi's stunt, and represents the lack of any mindset from the US establishment beyond a new Cold War.

Who cares where she goes? She has absolutely zero authority or power outside of the United States. NO MEMBER of the House of Representatives has any such power.

Even the Senate CANNOT negotiate with foreign nations. Only the President has such power to form foreign treaties; however, once negotiated, the President must receive a two-third SENATE approval. The House of Representatives can NEVER BE INVOLVED in foreign relations.

Anyone other than the President, who negotiates with foreign powers is committing a felony.

So again, WHO CARES where she goes?
