Taiwan's Vice President Takes a Risky Step in Europe Taiwan's vice president, Hsiao Bi khim, has made a rare visit to Europe as part of the Ventotene Conference for Freedom and Democracy in Italy.
This calculated move signals a deeper desire by Taiwan to strengthen its ties with democratic nations.
While Beijing claims Taiwan as one of its provinces, the island's government continues to push back against this assertion. Hsiao's attendance at the conference is a clear example of this resistance.
