China returns to launch warnings against the United States for the possible visit of the Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, to Taiwan. “They will pay the consequences,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a press conference. “We are firmly opposed to President Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan – he reiterated – If the United States goes ahead and challenges China, it will bear all the consequences that will ensue”.
Meanwhile, according to CNN, the Biden Administration is trying to convince the Speaker of the House that her potential trip to Taiwan could involve risks at a very delicate moment in relations between the island and China. If that happened, Pelosi’s would be the first trip by a House Speaker to Taiwan in 25 years.
