China on Tuesday slammed the United States’ actions in Taiwan as “extremely dangerous”, after US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived on the island for a visit that has inflamed tensions between the superpowers.
“The United States… constantly distorts, obscures and hollows out the ‘One China’ principle,” Beijing’s foreign ministry said in a statement after Pelosi’s plane touched down in Taiwan. “These moves, like playing with fire, are extremely dangerous. Those who play with fire will perish by it.”
