I understand that there are diplomatic reasons why you do and do not do certain things, but at the same time, fuck China for thinking it can dictate what our sovereign leaders do.

I didn't vote one particular way, but I would lean towards "yes." Or, perhaps some negotiations can be done where China makes certain assertions on the global stage -- e.g., it will not interfere in the current state of Taiwan -- in exchange for Pelosi not visiting. I would be in favor of that. But China simply dictating what OUR leaders can and cannot do? Fuck that.
