China Threatens ‘Strong and Resolute Countermeasures’ to Pelosi Taiwan Visit

China’s military and Foreign Ministry repeated the threat Monday of “strong and resolute countermeasures” against the U.S. if Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi follows through on her reported plan to visit Taiwan.

“Ready to battle, fight on command,” the Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) said Monday night on its official WeChat social media account. It vowed to “bury all the enemies that come to offend us, move forward towards victory.”
