Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly is calling on the Chinese communist regime to simmer down as it announced escalated military exercises around Taiwan following U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the self-ruled island this week.

“What China’s doing is clearly threatening and they’re using not only threatening actions, but they’re using as well economic coercion which is a really big problem,” Joly said during a press conference on Aug 3.
