China on Friday sanctioned US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over her much talked visit to Taiwan. The Chinese Foreign Ministry announced sanctions on Pelosi and her immediate family members for 'interfering' in the internal matters of the self-ruled island.

Imposing sanctions, Beijing said Pelosi 'disregarded' China's concerns and resolute opposition to her visit.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry alleged that Pelosi's visit tramples on the one-China principle, undermines China's sovereignty and threatens peace and stability in Taiwan Strait

The US House Speaker earlier today reiterated US' support to Taiwan saying her country will not let China isolate Taiwan.

Pelosi's visit to Taiwan this week caused a stir in China which warned of serious consequences.
