House Speaker Nancy Pelosi landed in Taipei without incident Tuesday night, local time, and we can be grateful for that. But the bigger test will come after the visit, and not only based on what China does in response.
Once news of her Taipei plans was (unhelpfully) leaked, and China reacted with threats, the Speaker was right to follow through. Those who say this was the “wrong” time to visit can’t tell us when would be a “right” time that Beijing would tolerate. The Biden Administration was also smart to have military assets nearby the island in case of trouble.
