China denounces Taiwan foreign minister’s Switzerland visit amid WHO meeting

China has denounced a planned visit to Switzerland by Taiwan’s foreign minister, saying the trip, timed to coincide with the World Health Organization’s annual assembly in Geneva, violates the One China principle. Beijing has already blocked Taiwan from participating in the 79th World Health Assembly (WHA) as an observer, but Taipei has vowed to send a delegation for meetings outside the official gathering. A spokesperson for China’s Foreign Ministry said Taiwan’s outreach in Switzerland amounts to “separatist” activity and accused the island’s government of using the global health forum to push for “independence under the pretext of health cooperation.” The spokesperson reiterated that the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China and that Taiwan is an “inalienable” part of its territory. China’s opposition comes after it formally informed the WHO that it would […]

Xi Gives Trump Grand Welcome in Beijing

Chinese President Xi Jinping gave US President Donald Trump a highly ceremonial welcome in Beijing on the opening day of a visit that could reshape relations between the world’s two largest powers. The reception outside the Great Hall of the People featured a military honour guard, a gun salute and performances of the American national anthem. Schoolchildren waving Chinese and US flags lined the route as Trump greeted them during the ceremony. During their meeting, Trump warmly praised Xi, describing him as a “great leader” while highlighting the importance of continued dialogue between both countries. The atmosphere marked a sharp contrast from the harsh rhetoric Trump previously used against China during his political campaigns and trade disputes with Beijing. Over recent years, tensions between Washington and Beijing intensified over tariffs, trade imbalances, Taiwan and geopolitical influence. At the peak of […]

Taiwan Leader Visits Eswatini Amid China Tensions

Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te has arrived in Eswatini, just days after his administration said a planned visit had been disrupted by alleged Chinese pressure on African nations to deny him overflight access. Speaking about the trip, Lai said it was made possible through “careful arrangements” by Taiwan’s diplomatic and national security teams, without revealing specific travel details. China criticized the visit, describing it as a “stowaway-style escape farce.” Beijing maintains that Taiwan is part of its territory and rejects any form of official diplomatic engagement between Taiwan and other states. On arrival, Lai was received by Russell Dlamini and welcomed with a formal guard of honour. Taiwan’s delegation includes Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung and National Security Council adviser Alex Huang, according to the presidential office. The visit was not publicly announced in advance. It had initially been scheduled for April […]

Taiwan cancels Africa trip over China pressure

Taiwan’s leader, Lai Ching-te, has called off a planned visit to Eswatini after several countries denied his aircraft permission to fly through their airspace. Taipei says the decision followed strong pressure and economic influence from Beijing, an accusation China rejects. According to Taiwanese officials, Seychelles, Mauritius and Madagascar withdrew overflight approvals after what they described as “intense pressure” from China. Beijing denied any coercion, while commending the three countries for adhering to the “one China” policy. This marks the first known case of a Taiwanese president cancelling an overseas trip due to revoked flight permissions. Eswatini remains Taiwan’s only diplomatic ally in Africa and one of just a dozen countries worldwide that officially recognise Taipei. China considers Taiwan part of its territory under the “one China” principle, while many in Taiwan view the island as a sovereign state. Beijing has […]

US intel says China not planning 2027 Taiwan invasion

China does not have a plan to invade Taiwan in 2027 and has set no fixed deadline to take the island by force, according to a new annual threat assessment released by the United States intelligence community . The report says Beijing still wants eventual unification with Taiwan but prefers to achieve this goal without going to war, even as it continues to modernise its armed forces and increase pressure on the island . US agencies noted that some American defence officials had previously pointed to 2027 as a possible window for a Chinese attack, but the latest assessment concludes there is no current operational plan for an invasion in that year . Instead, the report says that in 2026 and beyond, China is likely to keep using political, economic and military tools to squeeze Taiwan and shape conditions for […]

China masks South China Sea drone flights in likely Taiwan drill

China has been flying a large military drone over the South China Sea while broadcasting false electronic signals that make it appear to be other aircraft, including a Belarusian cargo jet and a British Typhoon fighter, according to flight data reviewed by analysts.​ Military attaches and security experts say at least 23 such flights have been recorded since August under the call sign YILO4200, linked to a Wing Loong 2 drone flying from Qionghai Boao airport on Hainan island. The drone’s transponder repeatedly used registration codes belonging to genuine foreign aircraft, a tactic they believe is a real time test of deception methods that could be used in a conflict over Taiwan.​ The flights trace long, looping routes over sensitive areas of the South China Sea, including waters near Chinese submarine bases, the Philippines, Vietnam and towards the Bashi Channel […]

China critic Jimmy Lai jailed 20 years in landmark Hong Kong case

Hong Kong media tycoon and prominent China critic Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to 20 years in prison in the city’s most high profile national security case. The ruling caps a legal battle that has lasted nearly five years and has drawn widespread international concern.​ Lai, the 78 year old founder of the now closed pro democracy newspaper Apple Daily, was convicted on two counts of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces and one count of publishing seditious materials. The judges said his offences fell within the harshest penalty tier for national security crimes of a grave nature.​ The court described Lai as the mastermind of what it called persistent collusion conspiracies seeking sanctions, blockades and other hostile acts against China by foreign governments, including the United States. Prosecutors said the network behind him involved Apple Daily staff, activists and […]

China tells US its containment strategy is bound to fail

China has warned that United States efforts to contain its rise are doomed to fail, even as Beijing says it is willing to work with Washington to improve relations. Defence ministry spokesman Jiang Bin told a news briefing on Thursday that “facts have proven that any attempt to contain or block China is doomed to fail.” He added that China is ready to work with the US to promote stable ties ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected visit to China in April for talks with President Xi Jinping. The warning comes days after the US Department of Defense released its 2026 National Defense Strategy, which pledges to “deter China in the Indo Pacific through strength, not confrontation.” The new strategy adopts a softer tone than the previous one under former President Joe Biden, which labelled China as Washington’s most consequential […]
