China says U.S. will 'bear all consequences' if Pelosi visits Taiwan

The Hindu  

China warned on July 27 that Washington would "bear the consequences" if U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visits Taiwan, with tensions soaring ahead of an expected phone call between the two countries' leaders. Beijing this week warned that it was "getting ready" for a possible visit by Ms. Pelosi, which would be the first to Taiwan by a sitting U.S. House speaker since 1997. "We are firmly opposed to Speaker Pelosi's visit to Taiwan," Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a regular press conference Wednesday. Ms. Pelosi told reporters last week it was "important for us to show support for Taiwan", while denying Congress was pushing for independence for the island.
