Despite China\u2019s claims of Taiwan as its territory and refusal to engage with President Lai Ching-te, Hsiao asserted Taiwan\u2019s right to participate in global affairs and highlighted the increasing number of allies willing to support Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p>She expressed confidence in Taiwan\u2019s democracy and commitment to maintaining good relations with like-minded nations. Former President Tsai Ing-wen also recognized the importance of Hsiao\u2019s visit, reiterating Taiwan\u2019s role as a reliable partner in the international community and its solidarity with Europe.<\/p>\n<p>With information from Reuters<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taiwan\u2019s Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim emphasized the island\u2019s growing international support and resolve following her recent diplomatic trip&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":559226,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5174],"tags":[1395,2000,299,5187,1699,2943],"class_list":{"0":"post-559225","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eu","8":"tag-china","9":"tag-eu","10":"tag-europe","11":"tag-european","12":"tag-european-union","13":"tag-taiwan"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115519433136007304","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=559225"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559225\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/559226"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=559225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=559225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=559225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
