The visit underscores the tensions between Taiwan and China and has implications for the island's foreign policy.<\/p>\n<h2>President of Taiwan in Eswatini: details of the visit<\/h2>\n<p><strong>President of Taiwan<\/strong> made an official visit to Eswatini after his previous trip was cancelled due to China's actions. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/china\/taiwan-president-arrives-eswatini-after-blaming-china-cancellation-prior-trip-2026-05-02\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a>, The move is seen as an attempt to strengthen diplomatic ties with one of Taiwan's few allies on the African continent.<\/p>\n<p>Eswatini remains one of the few states to officially recognise the <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/world\/taivan-perehovory-tramp-si-tszinpin\/\">Taiwan<\/a>, despite Chinese diplomatic pressure. The visit underscores the importance of allied support for Taiwan in a challenging international environment.<\/p>\n<h2>China's response and the international context<\/h2>\n<p>China traditionally opposes any official contacts between Taiwan and countries that recognise it. The cancellation of the previous trip of the Taiwanese president is explained by the influence of Beijing, which is putting pressure on the island's allies to reconsider their relations with Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the current visit, Chinese officials have once again reiterated their position on \u00abone China\u00bb. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, as relations between Taiwan and its diplomatic partners are increasingly dependent on Beijing's position.<\/p>\n<h2>The significance of the visit for Taiwan<\/h2>\n<p>The visit of the Taiwanese president to Eswatini is a signal of Taiwan's intention to maintain and develop foreign policy contacts, despite <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/world\/kytay-vede-informatsiynu-viynu-proty-tayvanyu\/\">pressure from China<\/a>. It also demonstrates Taiwan's readiness to defend its interests in the international arena.<\/p>\n<p>For Taiwan, such visits are of strategic importance, as the number of countries recognising the island is gradually decreasing. Supporting Eswatini is becoming symbolic, but important in the struggle for international recognition.<\/p>\n<h2>Why it matters<\/h2>\n<p>The visit of the Taiwanese president to Eswatini amid diplomatic pressure from China is an indicator of growing tensions in the region. This affects not only bilateral relations but also the broader balance of power in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Such events may have implications for other countries' policies towards Taiwan, especially given China's position. At the same time, Taiwan is seeking to show that it is ready to defend its interests, even in the face of difficult international circumstances.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442 \u0422\u0430\u0439\u0432\u0430\u043d\u044e \u0441\u044c\u043e\u0433\u043e\u0434\u043d\u0456 \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0431\u0443\u0432 \u0434\u043e \u0415\u0441\u0432\u0430\u0442\u0456\u043d\u0456, \u0449\u043e \u0441\u0442\u0430\u043b\u043e \u0432\u0430\u0436\u043b\u0438\u0432\u043e\u044e \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0456\u0454\u044e \u043d\u0430 \u0442\u043b\u0456 \u043d\u0435\u0449\u043e\u0434\u0430\u0432\u043d\u044c\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0441\u043a\u0430\u0441\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u043f\u043e\u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0434\u043d\u044c\u043e\u0457 \u043f\u043e\u0457\u0437\u0434\u043a\u0438 \u0447\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0437 \u0442\u0438\u0441\u043a \u0437 \u0431\u043e\u043a\u0443 \u041a\u0438\u0442\u0430\u044e. \u0426\u0435\u0439 \u0432\u0456\u0437\u0438\u0442 \u043f\u0456\u0434\u043a\u0440\u0435\u0441\u043b\u044e\u0454 \u043d\u0430\u043f\u0440\u0443\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0456\u0441\u0442\u044c \u0443 \u0432\u0456\u0434\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0438\u043d\u0430\u0445 \u043c\u0456\u0436 \u0422\u0430\u0439\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0435\u043c \u0442\u0430 \u041a\u041d\u0420 \u0442\u0430 \u043c\u0430\u0454 \u0437\u043d\u0430\u0447\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0434\u043b\u044f \u0437\u043e\u0432\u043d\u0456\u0448\u043d\u044c\u043e\u0457 \u043f\u043e\u043b\u0456\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0438 \u043e\u0441\u0442\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0430. \u041f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442 \u0422\u0430\u0439\u0432\u0430\u043d\u044e \u0432 \u0415\u0441\u0432\u0430\u0442\u0456\u043d\u0456: \u0434\u0435\u0442\u0430\u043b\u0456 \u0432\u0456\u0437\u0438\u0442\u0443 \u041f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442 \u0422\u0430\u0439\u0432\u0430\u043d\u044e \u0437\u0434\u0456\u0439\u0441\u043d\u0438\u0432 \u043e\u0444\u0456\u0446\u0456\u0439\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u0432\u0456\u0437\u0438\u0442 \u0434\u043e \u0415\u0441\u0432\u0430\u0442\u0456\u043d\u0456 \u043f\u0456\u0441\u043b\u044f \u0442\u043e\u0433\u043e, \u044f\u043a \u043f\u043e\u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0434\u043d\u044e [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":207433346,"featured_media":18127,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_description":"\u041f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442 \u0422\u0430\u0439\u0432\u0430\u043d\u044e \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0431\u0443\u0432 \u0434\u043e \u0415\u0441\u0432\u0430\u0442\u0456\u043d\u0456 \u043f\u043e\u043f\u0440\u0438 \u0442\u0438\u0441\u043a \u041a\u0438\u0442\u0430\u044e. \u0412\u0456\u0437\u0438\u0442 \u043f\u0456\u0434\u043a\u0440\u0435\u0441\u043b\u044e\u0454 \u043d\u0430\u043f\u0440\u0443\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0456\u0441\u0442\u044c \u0456 \u0431\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0442\u044c\u0431\u0443 \u0437\u0430 \u0441\u043e\u044e\u0437\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0456\u0432","rank_math_title":"\u041f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442 \u0422\u0430\u0439\u0432\u0430\u043d\u044e \u0432\u0456\u0434\u0432\u0456\u0434\u0430\u0432 \u0415\u0441\u0432\u0430\u0442\u0456\u043d\u0456 \u043f\u043e\u043f\u0440\u0438 \u0442\u0438\u0441\u043a \u041a\u0438\u0442\u0430\u044e","rank_math_focus_keyword":"\u041f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442 \u0422\u0430\u0439\u0432\u0430\u043d\u044e","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[805619],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-18128","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18128","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433346"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18128"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18128\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18133,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18128\/revisions\/18133"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18127"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
