Beijing warns other nations not to follow US ‘political performance’ on Taiwan

• Foreign Minister Wang Yi says some countries are acting out of ‘political self-interest’ and it will ‘seriously undermine the foundation for engaging with China’
• It comes as US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defends her trip to the island and accuses Beijing of using it as a pretext for more aggressive action

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has warned other nations not to follow the “political performance” of the United States on Taiwan.

His latest remarks come as US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defended her trip to the self-ruled island last week and accused Beijing of using the visit as a “pretext” for more aggressive action, after it held days of large-scale military drills around Taiwan.

Wang delivered his message during three separate meetings in recent days with his counterparts from Mongolia, South Korea and Nepal, according to a Chinese foreign ministry statement on Wednesday.
