The Chinese government has warned of “resolute and strong measures” if House SpeakerPelosi goes through with her reported trip to Taiwan next month.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said Tuesday that Pelosi’s planned trip to Taiwan would “severely undermine China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, gravely impact the foundation of China-U.S. relations, and send a seriously wrong signal to Taiwan independence forces.” He added that “if the U.S. were to insist on going down the wrong path, China will take resolute and strong measures to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Chinese state-owned outlet People’s Daily said that Zhao Lijian said the Chinese government “urges the US not to organize House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to the island of Taiwan and warns the US will be met with strong and resolute countermeasures should it take its own course.” “If she really dares to visit Taiwan, it will be a major serious incident,” Hu Xijin, a commentator for the state-owned Global Times, said on Twitter. “She will be the enemy that divides China. She will experience a risky visit. She will also bear historical responsibility for possibly triggering a military conflict in the Taiwan Strait.”
