U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's provocative visit to China's Taiwan region not only draws international condemnation, but also faces a backlash at home. "This is just a continuation of her endless support for U.S. imperialism," said Calla Walsh, an American peace and anti-war youth activist. "And she only views other parts of the world, particularly the Global South, as arenas through which the U.S. can compete for further hegemony rather than actual equal partners to work with to build a better world."
