2 China

A diplomatic conflict is taking place between China and the USA. The speaker of the lower house of the US Congress, Nancy Pelosi, stated that she plans to visit Taiwan in early August. China condemned her plans. «China has repeated many times that China strongly opposes the visit of the speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan» — the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Wang Wenbin, stated. According to him — such visit would violate the «One China» principle, and the provisions of the 3 Sino-US joint communiqués. It will also damage the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China. And it will be a serious blow to the political foundation of Sino-US relations, which will send a false signal to the separatist forces that advocate the Taiwanese independence.

3 India

Dmitry Peskov added that the EU maniacally follows the restrictions that hurt the ordinary Europeans.
