BEIJING: China will take firm and strong measures if US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visits Taiwan, the Chinese Foreign Ministry warned on Tuesday. Pelosi, next in line to Atuber, is set to travel to Taiwan. Nancy Pelosi, originally scheduled to travel in April, had to postpone the trip after she tested positive for COVID-19.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijiang said Pelosi’s visit would “severely undermine China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, seriously affect the foundation of China-US relations and send the wrong signal to Taiwan independence forces.” China has threatened to annex Taiwan if necessary by flying warplanes near Taiwan’s airspace.

“China will take firm and strong measures to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and the United States should not act as our coercion,” Zhao said. In recent days, China has continued to protest US arms sales to Taiwan. China, which does not want Taiwan to become militarily stronger, is demanding the cancellation of the deal, worth about $108 million.
“The Chinese People’s Liberation Army will resolutely repulse any interference by foreign powers and separatist conspiracies for Taiwan independence,” China’s defense ministry said in a statement on its website on Tuesday.
China’s most serious threat against Taiwan was China’s military exercises in 1995-96. It fired missiles into waters north and south of Taiwan in response to then-President Lee Teng-hui’s visit to the United States.
