The release said the visit would include those countries, but did not specify whether Pelosi, who is number three in the line of presidential succession, might make other stops. President Xi Jinping warned his US counterpart Joe Biden on Thursday that Washington should abide by the one-China principle and “those who play with fire will perish by it”.
Chinese air force spokesperson Shen Jinke was quoted by state media as saying on Sunday that Beijing would “resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity”. He said China’s “air force has the firm will, full confidence and sufficient capability to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
The Chinese coast guard will hold an exercise in the South China Sea off Guangzhou province on Monday, according to another notice by the Maritime Safety Administration.
