Over the past decades, China has objected to National Assembly visits to Taiwan because we believe it violates the principle of 'one China', Mr. Tan said.

The Chinese Ambassador warned that the US should not underestimate the strong, determined and capable will of the Chinese government to protect sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The warning of Ambassador Qin Cuong was released after a US Congressman delegation led by Senator Edward Markey visited Taiwan over the weekend.

The National Assembly is part of the US government and not an independent and uncontrolled branch.

Senior US officials argued that Pelosi's visit was only part of the series of regular visit to the National Assembly to Taiwan.

Mr. Tan Cuong said that China had previously warned that Pelosi's visit would cause serious consequences.

China simultaneously practiced around Taiwan after Pelosi's visit to show their position to the US, as well as holding images after tough statements, according to experts.

Launching missiles across Taiwan into Japan, Beijing seemed to show a message to Tokyo and Washington in tensions in the strait.
