“The United States will pay the price for undermining sovereignty,” China said.

Tensions between China and the United States are at their highest. The plane carrying Nancy Pelosi has already landed in Taiwan, what has been described as a provocation by Chinese President Xi Jinping.

However, Taiwan prepared for the welcome and even lit up one of its skyscrapers in honor of Pelosi, before the desired visit.

Given the tensions, Germany has said that in the face of a possible conflict it would support Taiwan, this if China decides to attack.

China warned on Tuesday that the United States would bear the “responsibility” and “pay the price” if US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan on her Asian tour.

“The United States will bear the responsibility and pay the price for undermining China’s sovereignty and security,” a spokeswoman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Hua Chunying, told reporters. Beijing views Taiwan as part of its territory that it must reunify, by force if necessary, and has warned that it will view a visit by Pelosi to the island as a provocation.
