Pelosi was roundly criticized from all quarters for making the trip.

===Trip to China===
Pelosi leaves the U.S. at a time when she is under verbal attack at home for her CIA comments. Her travel to China makes no mention of Chinese human right's but raised awareness for [[Global warming]] as a human rights cause. Less than a year ago, she was calling for America to boycott the [[Chinese]] Olympics for Tibet human rights abuses.
