Pelosi Should Cancel, Not Postpone, Her Taiwan Visit, Say Chinese

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., scrapped her planned visit Sunday to Taiwan after testing positive for COVID-19, but “what she should do is not postpone the visit, but cancel it immediately,” said a Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesperson Friday. Before the announcement of the postponement, that same spokesperson said that China "will take firm and strong measures to resolutely safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity” if Pelosi were to go through with her visit, in violation of the “one-China” policy. “All possible consequences that arise from this will completely be borne by the U.S. side,” he said, not specifying what those consequences might be.
