Taiwan President Defies China Pressure Over Africa Trip

Taiwan's president said Taiwan will not give in to pressure after China tried to stop an Africa trip. The trip was briefly postponed because of Chinese pressure, and the president traveled on the partner country's aircraft. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio warned against destabilizing acts on Taiwan before a planned Trump-Xi meeting. The U.S. said Trump and Xi are likely to discuss Taiwan next week, and Japan will closely watch Trump's remarks on Taiwan in those talks.
