Angered by Pelosi’s visit last week, Beijing called off some talks with Washington and launched ballistic missiles over Taipei
China’s defence ministry defended its shelving of military talks with the United States in protest against House speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taipei last week, warning that Washington must bear “serious consequences”.
Pelosi’s visit last week infuriated China, which regards the self-ruled island as its own and responded with test launches of ballistic missiles over Taipei for the first time, as well as ditching some lines of dialogue with Washington.
