BEIJING, Dec 2, 2024 (AFP) - China on Monday called on the United States to "stop meddling with Taiwan", following a 20-minute call between former US House speaker Nancy Pelosi and Taiwan President Lai Ching-te. 

"We urge the United States to... stop meddling with Taiwan and interfering in China's internal affairs, and stop supporting and indulging Taiwan independence separatist forces," foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian said in answer to a question about the call at a regular press conference.
