China on Wednesday praised the three countries that refused to allow the Taiwanese president’s plane to use their airspace to visit the African nation of Eswatini, which led to him cancelling the trip altogether.
Lai Ching-te was set to fly through the airspace of Seychelles, Mauritius, and Madagascar on Tuesday to visit Eswatini – Taiwan’s only diplomatic ally in Africa – but the three nations had revoked permission for his aircraft to fly over their territories.
