Paul Pelosi was taken to the hospital, where he received medical care and is likely to recover fully.

In August, Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan briefly crashed Twitter Inc.'s (NYSE:TWTR) Chinese counterpart Weibo Corp (NASDAQ: WB), as millions flocked online to discuss her trip.
Beijing saw Pelosi's trip as a provocation as it considered Taiwan a part of its territory. Pelosi is a longtime critic of China and has been a forthright human rights advocate.
After Pelosi's landing, China halted natural sand exports to Taiwan and some fish and fruit imports from the island.
Beijing also announced missile tests and military drills encircling the island.
