Pelosi visit
The visit by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan, despite it being made clear to her that it would be seen as a reckless act by China, was a case of touch and go (Page 1, “Pelosi lands in Taiwan, China slams U.S.”, August 3). Her visit is nothing but symbolic but at a time when there is a war involving the major powers, the world would be better off without a new round of confrontation. The aftershocks are bound to linger for a while.
