China Halts Climate, Military Ties over Pelosi Taiwan Visit
SnopesMAY 2022
Pelosi's visit to Taiwan is an outright provocation and undermines China's sovereignty. Such actions must be deterred, and the US must abide by its historical commitment to respect the One China policy. The Chinese government has made the right move by sanctioning Pelosi and her family.
China is clearly overreacting to Pelosi's visit. US support for Taiwan has been a cornerstone of US policy in Asia for over 70 years, and it is China who is being provocative by launching its largest ever military drills near the island.
