The Chinese embassy has reportedly demanded an Israel-based news outlet remove its interview with Taiwan’s foreign minister, and failure to do so may result in Beijing downgrading its ties with Israel.

The Jerusalem Post published an interview with Taiwan’s Foreign Minister Joseph Wu on Monday, in which Wu cautioned the Israeli government to “be very careful” when doing business with China.
