China Warns U.S. of Consequences if Pelosi Travels to Taiwan

China will take “strong and resolute measures” if U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi visits Taiwan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

China “firmly opposes” House Speaker Pelosi’s reported plan to travel to Taiwan in August, which would have a “severely negative impact” on the political foundations of U.S.-China relations, spokesperson Zhao Lijian said during Tuesday’s regular press conference.
