Chinese Ambassador to the United States Qin Gang described Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan as “reckless and provocative.”. He made these statements during an interview with the American television network CNN. “The parliamentarian’s visit sends a very wrong signal to the separatist forces on ‘Taiwan independence’,” he said.
