Beijing, Aug 4 (TIWN) Starting from Thursday, China has said that it will carry out five days of "necessary and just" military drills in the seas around Taiwan following US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to the island, which came in defiance of Beijing's repeated warnings, a media report said.
Pelosi left Taiwan Wednesday after a less than 24-hour visit that defied a series of increasingly stark threats from Beijing, which views the island as its territory.
The House speaker, second in line to the presidency, was the highest-profile elected US official to visit Taiwan in 25 years.
She declared her presence made it "unequivocally clear" that the United States would "not abandon" a democratic ally like Taiwan.
