China threatens ‘strong measures’ if Pelosi visits Taiwan

BEIJING, 20 July 2022, (TON): Chinese Foreign Ministry said “China will take resolute and strong measures should the Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi proceed with reported plans to visit Taiwan.”

According to a report in the Financial Times “Pelosi, who is second in line to the presidency, is due to visit the self-governing island China claims as its own territory in August.”

She was originally scheduled to visit in April but had to postpone after she tested positive.

Pelosi would be the highest ranking American lawmaker to visit the close US ally since her predecessor as speaker, Newt Gingrich, traveled there 25 years ago.
