BEIJING (Reuters) – China confirmed that it did heighten warnings to U.S. officials about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s possible visit to Taiwan, as first reported by the Financial Times, a foreign ministry spokesman said on Monday.
Spokesman Zhao Lijian also said at a daily media briefing that the Chinese side will take “forceful” measures if the visit goes ahead.
