Former Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen's upcoming visit to the Czech Republic and Europe has drawn significant backlash from China, which opposes any Taiwan independence representation.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning reiterated China's demand that nations maintaining diplomatic relations with them respect China's sovereignty, particularly concerning Taiwan's independence.
Ahead of her European trip, Tsai emphasized the importance of maintaining Taiwan's participation in international institutions, which China has sought to exclude Taiwan from.
Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung stated that Tsai’s trip aims to share Taiwan's democratic experiences and promote a pragmatic diplomacy that values peace, fairness, and democratic ideals.
