China had spent weeks warning the United States against the visit, saying it would damage relations. In Washington, policymakers and experts argued the pros and cons. In the end, Pelosi spent less than 24 hours on the island, but it was a hugely symbolic expression of solidarity with Taiwan. China views such visits as “foreign interference” in Taiwan — a self-governed democracy that Beijing considers Chinese territory — and reacted angrily. It staged live-fire military drills and [suspended cooperation](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRk1NG9P0T0aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlZ3VhcmRpYW4uY29tL3dvcmxkLzIwMjIvYXVnLzA1L2NoaW5hLWhhbHRzLXVzLWNvb3BlcmF0aW9uLW5hbmN5LXBlbG9zaS10YWl3YW4_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAyMjA4MDkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9Njg4MjUmbmw9b3Bpbmlvbi10b2RheSZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTAwODU3JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpi6r1M8mKiew-iUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) with the United States in several areas, and its [foreign minister twice walked out](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRk1NG9P4QPAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnNjbXAuY29tL25ld3MvY2hpbmEvZGlwbG9tYWN5L2FydGljbGUvMzE4NzkwMS9jaGluZXNlLWZvcmVpZ24tbWluaXN0ZXItd2FuZy15aS13YWxrcy1vdXQtYXNlYW4tZXZlbnRzLWFmdGVyP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTM5JmVtYz1lZGl0X3R5XzIwMjIwODA5Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTY4ODI1Jm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEwMDg1NyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYuq9TPJionsPolIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) of diplomatic gatherings attended by the United States.

He writes that in the late 1990s many in China looked to America with admiration but notes that that changed considerably over the years, as the Chinese saw a more dysfunctional side of the United States. “After years of watching America’s wars overseas, reckless economic policies and destructive partisanship — culminating in last year’s disgraceful assault on the U.S. Capitol ­­— many Chinese, myself included, can barely make out that shining beacon anymore,” Wang writes. Some will disagree with Wang’s argument. But if the world’s two greatest powers are to start on the path of reconciliation, mutual understanding is the first step.
