ISTANBUL, 02 August 2022, (TON): China said “US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s possible visit to Taiwan will “create an egregious political impact.”

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said “the Chinese side has repeatedly made clear to the US side our serious concern over Speaker Pelosi’s potential visit to Taiwan and our firm opposition to the visit.”

“Pelosi is the third highest-ranking official in the US government, which means it would be highly sensitive for her to visit Taiwan no matter what.”

Zhao added “it will amount to gross interference in China’s internal affairs, seriously undermine China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, wantonly trample on the One China principle, greatly threaten peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, severely undermine China-US relations and lead to a very serious situation and grave consequences.”

According to Singapore’s Foreign Ministry “Pelosi kicked off a four-day trip to Asia on Monday with a visit to Singapore, where Prime Minister Lee Hsien highlighted the importance of stable US-China relations for regional peace and security.
