China suspended the import of some fruits and fish from Taiwan as of Wednesday, according to an official statement.
The import ban includes grapefruits, lemons, oranges, and chilled large-head hairtail and frozen horse mackerel.
China also banned the export of natural sand to Taiwan, the statement added.
Beijing’s move came in response to a trip by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan, the first visit by a sitting US House speaker to the island nation in 25 years.
The Chinese military has also announced exercises, including live-fire drills, in six locations around Taiwan from Thursday to Sunday.
