what will be China’s response after the visit of the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives?

China did not appreciate the visit of Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, to Taiwan on Tuesday (August 2nd). “There is a certainty, Beijing will not stand idly by”explains journalist Arnauld Miguet, live from Shanghai (China). “There are several options on the table, including the military option with more Chinese aircraft incursions into Taiwanese skies, missile launches in the straits, up to the invasion of the island, but this is an unlikely option”he continues.

“There is the possibility of recall of ambassadors and economic sanctions. China has already banned, this afternoon (Tuesday August 2), the import of certain Taiwanese agricultural products. Only one man has the cards in hand, it is Chinese President Xi Jinping who needs to appear internationally and domestically, and who is seeking a third term in the fall.”concludes the journalist.
