China imposes sanctions on Nancy Pelosi after her visit to Taiwan

The Chinese Foreign Ministry announced Friday that Beijing has imposed unspecified sanctions on US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and members of her family.
“In ignoring China’s serious concerns and resolute opposition… Pelosi has insisted on visiting the Taiwan region of China. This constitutes a serious interference in China’s internal affairs,” the ministry statement said.
“This seriously undermines China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, seriously violates the one-China principle, and seriously threatens peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait,” the statement added.
“In response to Pelosi’s blatant provocation, China decides to impose sanctions on Pelosi and her close family members, in line with relevant laws of the People’s Republic of China,” the statement continued.
Pelosi visited the self-ruled island earlier in the week, prompting Beijing to conduct air and sea live-fire military exercises in waters off Taiwan, which China considers an integral part of its territory.
