China has warned the United States about the inadmissibility of a visit to Taiwan by the Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi. As stated in Beijing, this will cause retaliatory measures from the PRC. This is reported by the Chinese press with reference to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry, commenting on the data of the Japanese Fuji News Network that the speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi may visit Taiwan in the coming days, said that Beijing opposes any official contacts between Washington and Taipei. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian stressed that the US needs to cancel Pelosi's trip.
- the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Washington has not officially confirmed Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, but they do not deny it either. The situation is complicated by the fact that Nancy Pelosi is one of the most senior figures of the Democrats and the third in the American vertical of power. In case something happens to Biden and Harris, it will be Pelosi who will serve as president of the United States. In fact, her visit to Taiwan means visiting the island by top US officials for the first time since 1997.
At the moment, it is known that the Speaker of the US House of Representatives plans to visit Japan this weekend.
Meanwhile, Beijing confirmed that it adheres to the course of peaceful reunification of the mainland and island parts of a single China, but will not tolerate its "independence", to which Taiwan is being pushed by the United States.
