Watch as British lawmakers visiting Taiwan hold a press conference hosted by the Taiwan Foreign Ministry.
The visit has sparked outrage from China, which claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory.
A statement from the Chinese embassy in London described the trip as "blatant interference in China's internal affairs" despite their "firm opposition."
The statement also claimed that the trip "sends a grossly wrong signal to the separatist forces for Taiwan independence."
"We would like to make this clear to the relevant British politicians: any actions that undermine China's interests will be met with its resolute countermeasures," the spokesperson concluded.
The six lawmakers from the British-Taiwanese All-Party Parliamentary Group met with President Tsai Ing-wen in Taipei on Monday.
Taiwan’s government rejects China’s sovereignty claims.
Beijing launched joint military exercises around the island after Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan last summer.
