Why it matters: China’s Foreign Ministry also announced it was ending talks with the U.S. on climate change, military issues, anti-drug measures and other matters in retaliation for Pelosi’s visit.
The big picture: China’s Foreign Ministry announced the sanctions and the end of the talks as the country was holding live-fire military drills around Taiwan, calling her visit an “egregious provocation.”
What they’re saying: Pelosi, who traveled to Japan after her flight to Taiwan, denounced China’s military drills, demanding it “immediately” stop.
