China Presses Taiwan Ties and Warns Citizens in Eswatini

China's Taiwan Affairs Office said Taiwan's ruling DPP authorities are the biggest barrier to cross-Strait exchanges and criticized separatist rhetoric. A mainland official also said the Taiwan Industrial Association is voicing public sentiment on cross-Strait ties. China advised its citizens to leave Eswatini, one of the few countries that still has diplomatic relations with Taiwan, citing security risks. It also appreciated the Malaysian prime minister's position on the one-China principle.
