China will halt imports of citrus fruit, white hairtail and frozen scad from Taiwan, effective from Wednesday, said the Ministry of Commerce on Wednesday.

The country will also suspend natural sand exports to Taiwan region, starting from Wednesday, the ministry said.

The move came after US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived in Taiwan late on Tuesday, in a visit which China said seriously damages peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.

China’s foreign ministry said Pelosi’s visit severely impacts the political foundations of China-U.S. relations, and said it had lodged a strong protest with the United States.
