BEIJING -- A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Friday reiterated China's position on US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's planned visit to Taiwan, urging the plan must be canceled immediately.

Spokesperson Zhao Lijian made the remarks at a daily news briefing when answering a relevant question. According to reports, Pelosi's planned visit will be postponed to a later date due to her positive test result for COVID-19.
