Taiwan will not ‘bow its head’: FM hits out at China during visit to Eswatini

Taiwan’s Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung on a visit to Eswatini slammed China’s recent move to pressure several African countries into revoking overflight permits for the island’s leader, saying it will not “bow its head.”

Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te postponed an official trip to Eswatini, the island’s only diplomatic ally, last week after “Seychelles, Mauritius and Madagascar unexpectedly and without prior notice revoked the charter’s overflight permits”.
