SPEAKER of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi arrived in South Korea today but the fallout from her provocative and dangerous visit to Taiwan continued. 

The US official is to meet Republic of Korea national assembly chairman Kim Jin Pyo on Thursday, but her visit will be overshadowed by her inflammatory stop in Taiwan. 

Ms Pelosi, a vehement opponent of China, claimed to support Taiwanese sovereignty and badged her trip to the island as one that upholds the principles of democracy.
