Nancy Pelosi leaves Taiwan to sound of Chinese fury
US Speaker Nancy Pelosi has left Taiwan after a brief but controversial visit.
In a statement following the visit, Ms Pelosi said China cannot "prevent world leaders or anyone from traveling to Taiwan to pay respect to its flourishing democracy, to highlight its many successes and to reaffirm our commitment to continued collaboration". On the other, it maintains a "robust unofficial" relationship with the island, which includes selling weapons for Taiwan to defend itself.
