China responded to the historic and controversial visit with threats and announcements of military exercises.
The speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, left Taiwan after a short stay on the island and after provoking the wrath of Beijing.
In the historic and controversial visit, China responded with threats and announcements about conducting military exercises.
Pelosi, 82, greeted officials on the runway at Songshan Airport in Taipei, before boarding a US military aircraft that took off at 6:00 p.m. local time (12:00 Greek time), according to footage broadcast live by television networks.
Pelosi, whose delegation made an unannounced but closely watched stop in Taiwan last night (local time) after visits to Singapore and Malaysia, is expected to continue her Asian tour with stops in South Korea and Japan.
