Taiwan ex-president Tsai Ing-wen to visit UK as China ratchets up threats against Taipei
"Tsai Ing-wen's invitation to Britain reflects Taiwan's strategies to strengthen international relations despite increasing diplomatic pressures from China."
"Taiwan sees Britain as an essential partner in democracy and defense, especially given the military threats from China against the island."
Former Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen's upcoming visit to Britain, at the invitation of British politicians, seeks to enhance diplomatic relations amid China's attempts to politically isolate Taiwan. Despite the absence of formal diplomatic ties, Britain has increased economic and political exchanges with Taiwan in response to China's military threats. Tsai's trip highlights her role as a symbol of Taiwan's resistance to Chinese pressure, and includes meetings with British politicians to deepen friendship between the two parties. This visit also builds on prior engagements, strengthening both political and defense collaboration.
