By Rohini Chatterji Nancy Pelosi, the US House of Representatives Speaker, said on Wednesday that she came to Taiwan in "peace for the region" even as Beijing warned against visiting the region. Pelosi's visit triggered a diplomatic row between the US and China, with Beijing warning that the US will pay for "undermining China's sovereign security interests." The US delegation defied the warnings and Pelosi landed in Taipei late on Tuesday as there was huge speculation about whether she will call off her visit. In light of Pelosi's speech on Wednesday and China's warnings, here's a look at the ...
