China Tightens the Sand Noose around Taiwan's neck The Speaker of the House of Representatives flew to Taipei on Tuesday evening. She became the highest-ranking American official to visit the island in the last 25 years. The US administration, which was warned by Chinese President Xi Jinping that «playing with fire risks getting burned,» assured Beijing of its «one-China policy» and distanced itself from the visit, saying that Pelosi makes decisions on her own. China considers Taiwan its province and always opposes any contact between Taipei representatives and current officials, especially high-ranking officials, or the military from countries with which Beijing has diplomatic relations. As a result, the visit became the impetus for a new round of tension in the Taiwan Strait. In addition to announcing the start of military exercises from August 4 to 7, Beijing imposed sanctions on two Taiwanese funds, suspended the export of natural sand to the island and the import of citrus fruits and certain types of fish products from Taiwan, and the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that China intends to take decisive and tough measures. , and also made it clear that all the negative consequences of the visit, which Beijing opposed for several months, are still ahead and Washington and Taipei will bear responsibility for them. » />The US is consolidating the military front against China.
