TLDR: She landed and China didn’t react. The Chinese plan to host a huge military exercise that surrounds Taiwan.

There are reports on Taiwan using 40 fighters to escort her. As I said before armed flyover or NEZ will not be possible without dropping the hammer on the Taiwanese military. BTW the PLA just announced it is invading Taiwan tonight. The announced exercises are as close as Taiwan's internal waters

Yes, those generations before us provided the Chinese people steppingstones to build upon for a greater nation and for mankind to benefit. The 5,000 years of continuing civilization of existence didn't came by being belligerent and stupid.
Oh, I don't accuse people of being tidalwave alts unless I know they are, and I know @Appix @gadgetcool5 @Wangxi just off the top of my head are all alts. I disagreed a lot with @9dashline and clowned him about EROEI, but it wasn't until he recently exposed himself that I got that he was a tidalwave alt. You might not have been around during the peak tidalwave period in the semiconductor threads, so you don't know just how crazy that guy is.

So what is Nancy Pancy going to do about it? It's in her state after all. Absolutely...NOTHING.

I say people are being premature in declaring that China ‘lost’ this round. It hasn’t even
Had they intercepted her plane and it still landed than they would have failed. The point is they didn’t even try to intercept her. That means preventing her from landing wasn’t the military options China had in mind.
Pelosi has landed in Taiwan in front of the world’s eyes. To some that’s a big loss for China. But it also means the world has seen her being the instigator of everything that follows. So it seems increasingly premature to declare that Pelosi won when China hasn’t even played its opening counter move yet.
Doing something now would have made good theatre, but would have had China dance to America’s tune in terms of timing.
I think what China does in the coming hours and days will determine how history remembers this event.
China has made a big song and dance about the visit meaning a red line is crossed, even if those exact words were not used. It would be a huge blow to the credibility of China and the PLA to backdown meekly after that.

That's why instead of bothering with a token interception, they just went towards mobilizing the army against the real enemy, not America but the DPP leadership.
I wrote before that China had 2 routes, they could either straight up kill Pelosi now and dare US to do something about it, or let her leave and then make a countermove on another front after that. I also predicted the first route would only be likely if Pelosi came into Chinese airspace with foreign military fighters following her, which didn't come to pass.
So now it's China's turn and we will see just how far they intend to go.

Some sources say that the Chinese are moving a huge amount of medical supplies to cities on the coast with Taiwan, such as blood bags, surgery supplies, among others. I don't know if he does it to carry out military exercises, even more without disclosing it. If real, this to me is a clear indication of imminent military action.
Again, it still needs confirmation, I'm just giving a note here.
In addition, the ship Bo Hai Zhan Zhu would have landed 35 tons of this type of material in some unknown city, near Taiwan. China had dispatched two Type 052Ds to locate Ronald Reagan and after that, they retreated. Now the Chinese must trache the same via satellite.
