TAIPEI, Taiwan—Czech Senate President Milos Vystrcil met with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen on Sept. 3 as the two states sought to bolster ties despite opposition from China.

The Chinese regime considers Taiwan a renegade province and part of its territory, despite the self-ruled island having its own democratically-elected government, military, currency, and other traits of a nation-state. Beijing opposes words or actions by foreign government officials that recognize the island’s sovereignty.
