On May 2, 2026, Taiwan's President arrived in Eswatini, a visit that has drawn significant attention due to recent tensions with China.

The Chinese government has criticized the trip, labeling it a 'stowaway-style escape farce,' which adds to the ongoing diplomatic friction between the two nations.

This visit follows the president's earlier claims that China was responsible for the cancellation of another planned trip, highlighting the complexities of Taiwan's international relations.
