China to McCarthy: Don't be like Pelosi

A Chinese official on Monday pushed U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., not to repeat his predecessor’s recent trip to Taiwan.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., traveled to Taiwan in August, after which China launched sizable military drills close to the island nation’s territory and cutting off diplomatic communications with the U.S. on certain subjects.

Punchbowl News earlier this month reported that McCarthy is planning on making a trip to Taiwan at some point this year, but noted that these plans are in the “early stages.”
