China has introduced unspecified sanctions against the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the US Congress, Nancy Pelosi, "and members of her immediate family", the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing said, DPA reported.

The decision by the Chinese authorities follows Pelosi's visit to Taiwan yesterday, despite a clear warning earlier that her visit to Taipei would be perceived as a provocation, as official Beijing considers the island an integral part of its territory, and official Washington officially supports the policy. of "one China".

Pelosi said earlier today that China will not make the travel agenda for US officials, alluding to her recent visit to Taiwan as part of her Asian tour.
