The upside is telling China that in democracies, legislators can travel wherever they want without giving autocracies a veto over their freedom to travel. In the words of the G7 in response to China's threats, "there is no justification to use a visit as pretext for aggressive military activity in the Taiwan Strait. It is normal and routine for legislators from our countries to travel internationally."
