China is urging House Speaker Kevin McCarthy not to visit Taiwan this spring in a repeat of tensions over then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit last year.
A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing, which considers Taiwan a breakaway province, said a visit from the California Republican would cause a tense situation to deteriorate further.
“China opposes any form of official interaction between its Taiwan region and countries having diplomatic ties with China,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said Monday at a press conference.
