Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss delivers a speech, during an event in Taipei, Taiwan, 17 May 2023. Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss is visiting Taiwan for five days to meet with several high-ranking officials.
Truss warned that the West must avoid appeasing China and show unwavering support for the self-governed island, in a speech that risks further damaging Britain’s relations with Beijing.
Truss is the most well-known British politician to visit Taiwan since former prime minister Margaret Thatcher in the 1990s, and her trip comes at a time when relations between Britain and China are the worst in decades.
