Former Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen to Visit Czech Republic Amid Tensions with China

Tsai's trip aims to strengthen Taiwan's ties with Europe as Beijing continues to view her as a separatist threat.

Tsai Ing-wen will embark on her first overseas trip since stepping down, visiting the Czech Republic and two other European countries.
The visit underscores Taiwan's efforts to build alliances in Europe, particularly as China increases military pressure on the island.
Tsai is scheduled to deliver a speech at the Forum 2000 event in Prague and meet with senior European politicians.
China has historically opposed Tsai's international engagements, labeling her a separatist, and has previously conducted military exercises in response to her diplomatic activities.
Taiwanese leader William Lai Ching-te supports Tsai's visit, emphasizing her role in advocating for Taiwan on the global stage.
