China has suspended imports of citrus fruits and certain types of frozen fish from Taiwan since Wednesday, according to a notice from China's General Administration of Customs.

A decision has been made to suspend the import of citrus fruits, chilled common sablefish and frozen horse mackerel from Taiwan to the mainland from August 3, 2022, the report said.

This decision was made due to the repeated recent detection of quarantine pests in these products, as well as COVID-19.

On August 2, Speaker of the US House of Representatives Pelosi landed at the Taipei airport. The US administration, which was warned by the Chinese president that playing with fire risks getting burned, assured Beijing of its commitment to the one-China policy, but distanced itself from the visit, saying that the speaker makes decisions herself.

The PRC considers the island its province and always opposes any contact between Taipei representatives and current officials, especially high-ranking officials, or the military from countries with which Beijing has diplomatic relations.
