China would pay a high price as well if this escalates.
Pelosi has called China's bluff (interesting that Biden is
not backing her on this - that's a
bad look for the POTUS). Now, if China backs down, they lose face. If they do something aggressive against Pelosi it's an act of war, and they (and much of the rest of the world) could lose a whole lot more.
This could get very interesting...
