China warned on Thursday it would take strong measures if US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan said such a visit would severely impact Chinese-US relations. China

China considers democratically ruled Taiwan its own territory and the subject is a constant source of friction between Beijing and Washington, especially given strong US military and political support for the island.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian told reporters that Beijing firmly opposed all forms of official interactions between the United States and Taiwan, and Washington should cancel the trip. In Taipei, Taiwan Foreign Ministry spokesperson Joanne Ou would only say that inviting US officials and dignitaries had always been “an important part” of the ministry’s work, and that it would announce any official visits at an appropriate time.

The last time a House speaker visited Taiwan was in 1997, when Newt Gingrich met then-President Lee Teng-hui.
