In a recent interview for CBS News, Taiwan’s representative to the United States Bi-khim Hsiao criticized China’s response to U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the island nation.

The Chinese foreign ministry had warned that Pelosi’s visit would lead to “serious consequences” and that “those who play with fire will perish by it.”
