US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived in Taiwan without any incident.
Her flight was the "most tracked live flight of all time," according to flight-tracking site Flightradar24.
Pelosi became the highest US elected official to visit Taiwan in more than 25 years.
She also met Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen and addressed Taiwan parliament in what is a historic visit.
The 82-year lady went ahead with the trip despite threats.
In this context, Chinese President Xi Jinping had told President Biden 'not to play with fire'.
Hu Xijin, a commentator with the Chinese-state-owned Global Times which is effectively a mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, said it was 'Okay to shoot down Pelosi's plane'
China’s spokesperson warned its military would “not sit idly by” if the visit happened
But no real 'action' was carried out by the Chinese to prevent the visit.
In this video Defense Updates analyzes why China didn't intervene militarily as Nancy Pelosi landed in Taiwan ?
