China has hit out at Liz Truss’ visit to Taiwan, calling it a “dangerous political show”, as the former prime minister used a speech to urge the West to reduce its “dependence” on Beijing.
Ms Truss told a think tank audience in Taipei City on Wednesday that Western allies must learn the lessons from the international fallout after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by taking steps to prepare for sanctions against China in the face of its aggressive stance towards Taiwan.
