Pelosi was the highest-ranking U.S. Official to visit the self-governing island in 25 years. China claims Taiwan as its territory and opposes it having its own engagements with foreign governments.
The Chinese statement called Pelosi's visit provocative and said it undermines China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. It said that sanctions would be imposed on Pelosi and her immediate family but did not say what they would be.
