A delegation of Labour MPs is visiting Taiwan for the first time since Labour came to power, aiming to strengthen UK-Taiwan relations. The visit includes meetings with Taiwanese government officials and various societal groups, illustrating a commitment to support Taiwan amidst growing tensions with China. In response to this visit, Beijing issued warnings against perceived violations of its sovereignty, emphasizing China's view of Taiwan's status. The MPs highlight the importance of robust partnerships to advocate for freedom and democratic values in the region, particularly in light of recent Chinese military activity around Taiwan.
The visit was about more than symbolism. It's about real, practical partnerships between the UK and Taiwan—two societies that value freedom, fairness and international cooperation.
Last month, China launched large-scale military exercises around Taiwan, accusing its leaders of being separatists and parasites who were pushing the democratically run island into war.
