China Says Cutting Military Exchanges Is a ‘Necessary Warning’ to U.S. Over Taiwan

What’s new: As China cancelled three Sino-U.S. military exchanges, its defense ministry said Monday that the move was a “necessary warning” to the U.S. for “condoning and supporting” U.S. House of Representative Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan last week.

Ministry of National Defense Spokesperson Wu Qian said China’s countermeasures against the U.S. are a “legitimate defense of national sovereignty and security, which is completely reasonable and appropriate.”
