’We are prepared to meet the challenge’: China again warns US against Pelosi’s plan to visit Taiwan

The United States should bear all the consequences if U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi insists on visiting Taiwan, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian at a press briefing in Beijing on Monday. Zhao made the remarks in response to Pelosi’s plan of visiting Taiwan in August. “China has in the recent time made clear to the United States repeatedly its grave concern and stern position of resolutely opposing House Speaker Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan. We are prepared to meet the challenge. Suppose the U.S. side clings obstinately to its misconduct, China is bound to take resolute and powerful measures to safeguard its national sovereignty and territorial integrity. All consequences entailed from that should be completely borne by the United States,“ said Zhao. __________________ Powered by Shanghai Media Group, ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality content for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube.
