There's nothing that says if you shadowed her plane you couldn't do all that stuff afterwards. Had China did the interception maybe even took a picture of Pelosi in her plane then afterwards announced the sanctions and excercise I would image the domestic audience response would have been vastly more favorable, while achieving pretty much the same end result.
What you said has a certain degree of truth to it and I agree on how it could have brought positive effect, however, what if the pilot did something aggressive by his own decision? or perhaps the USAF misjudged the situation and engaged with the PLAAF? do we really want to start ww3 over an old hag doing an RP stunt ?

You can't take no risk and play passive forever. Also I would say the risk here would have been pretty minimal all things considered and nothing compared to what Russia did invading Ukraine.

Because of one child policy and saving is insufficient for current living standards. One child policy means one family may need to support 2 sets of parents. And retired people had low salary base when they were working so the saving may be insufficient now. Without this you may have social upheaval and stressed middle class that will decrease higher end consumptions.
Protip: It was called the "one child policy" but there were actually few Chinese families with only one child. And why would you have social upheaval with a stressed middle class? Being stressed is synonymous with the middle class!

Finally, less money for consumption means more money for investment.

Good. Battery tech will become a matter of national security so these plants should only be in the mainland. No different than US trying to bring semiconductor fabs home
