Taiwan's Legislative Yuan has unanimously passed a resolution condemning Beijing's alleged interference in President William Lai's planned visit to Eswatini, which was scheduled for April 21. The trip was abruptly canceled when Seychelles, Mauritius, and Madagascar withdrew flight clearances for Lai's chartered aircraft, reportedly due to pressure from China. An unnamed national security official indicated that China threatened these nations with the withdrawal of debt relief and additional economic penalties if they allowed Lai's flight. The resolution criticized China's use of diplomatic leverage to compel other countries to revoke flight permissions, arguing that such actions jeopardize aviation safety and violate international norms. Lawmakers from all political parties in Taiwan expressed unity in defending the country's sovereignty and democratic values. This incident highlights the ongoing tensions between Taiwan and China, with Beijing's efforts to limit Taiwan's international engagement continuing to pose significant challenges.
