Pelosi visiting is a much bigger statement, and it's an unnecessary statement imo.

Peaceful co-development between China and the West should not continue to happen so long as China maintains its beligerence over Taiwan. Western nations should absolutely refuse to work with China, and call the CCP out on its outright lies (the '1992 consensus'), when it comes to China's position regarding one of the strongest, most vibrant democracies in Asia.
China should be pressured relentlessly to, at the very least, drop its objections to Taiwan participating fully in such international forums as the World Health Organization and the International Civil Aviation Organization.
