TAIPEI, Taiwan—A French parliamentary delegation pledged support for Taiwan during a meeting Thursday with the president of the self-governing island democracy that the Chinese regime claims as its own territory.

Senator Joel Guerriau, vice chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defense, and the Armed Forces, told Tsai Ing-wen he would “help Taiwan oppose its oppressors and promote Taiwan’s freedom.”
