The United States, Lin said, must stop interfering in China’s internal affairs and stop sending wrong signals to Taiwan’s independence and separatist forces.
“China will take resolute and forceful measures to firmly safeguard its national sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
Sources familiar with the situation have told Reuters that China could launch a new round of war games in response to Lai’s trip to the Pacific, which included stopovers in Hawaii, a US state, and the US territory of Guam.
While in Hawaii, Lai spoke for 20 minutes with Pelosi, whose 2022 visit to Taiwan as House speaker prompted a furious response from China.
In 2022, China held war games around the island, infuriated at a trip to Taiwan by Pelosi, at the time Speaker of the House.
Lai rejects China’s sovereignty claims.
