The Kremlin warned the United States on Tuesday that an anticipated go to to Taiwan by US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi would put it on a collision course with China and provoke tensions within the area.

“We cannot say for sure right now whether she will or will not get there, but everything about this tour and the possible visit to Taiwan is purely provocative,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov informed reporters.

China has repeatedly warned Pelosi towards going to Taiwan, which it claims as its personal. Beijing says a Pelosi go to would contravene the one-China precept that Washington has vowed to abide by.
