“Special Chinese countermeasures against Pelosi’s visit to the Taiwan region will be strong, powerful and effective, and will be constantly felt by the authorities in the United States and Taiwan,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying said on the channel.
She also stated that the speaker’s visit to Taiwan is not related to democracy and concerns the issue of China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
