China halts climate, military talks with US, suspends other cooperation after Pelosi's Taiwan visit


BEIJING (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): China on Friday (Aug 5) announced that it would suspend cooperation with the United States on a range of issues, including talks on climate change, as it continues to take retaliatory measures following US Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan.

The Chinese foreign ministry said it was taking these countermeasures in the light of Pelosi's "insistence on visiting Taiwan in disregard to China's strong opposition and solemn representations".
