There's an unsubstantiated theory that Pelosi faked her COVID diagnosis earlier this year as a pretext for canceling her Taiwan trip. The idea is that China told the US that such a visit crossed their red line and threatened to shoot down the plane.
Guess we'll never know, but it seems somewhat plausible given that backchannels between US and Chinese militaries do exist.
