US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday said that she came to Taiwan as she seeks "peace for the region" after her visit irked China and started its diplomatic games. "We come in friendship to Taiwan, we come in peace for the region," Pelosi said during the meeting with Tsai Chi-chang, the deputy speaker of Taiwan's parliament.

Despite China's warning, US House Speaker arrived in Taipei on Tuesday night and said that this trip in no way contradicts longstanding United States policy on the self-governed island. During the press conference, over the US-Taiwan economic cooperation, Pelosi said that her new US legislation aimed at strengthening the American chip industry in Taiwan which will compete with China.
