The Chinese Foreign Ministry announced: “We will cancel dialogues between our military leaders and their American counterparts and suspend climate talks between Beijing and Washington.” This comes amid US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, which has been repeatedly threatened by Chinese officials not to “stand by” over the “provocative” measure.

Earlier today, the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced that it had imposed sanctions on Pelosi in response to his visit to Taiwan.

In turn, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zhao Lijian pointed out that “what is happening in Ukraine cannot be compared with what is happening in Taiwan,” stressing that “Pelosi is provocative and undermines security and peace.” provocative and violates the One China principle.”

On the other hand, Pelosi emphasized during her visit to Tokyo after leaving Taiwan that “Washington will not allow China to isolate Taiwan,” noting that “my visit to Taiwan was not intended to change the status quo there.”

Following Pelosi’s visit to the island, which China considers part of it despite warnings, Chinese authorities announced “military exercises in 6 areas surrounding the island from August 4 to 7.”
