British ex-premier Truss to visit Taiwan next week

Former British prime minister Liz Truss will visit Taiwan next week and meet senior members of the government, her office said on Tuesday, as she makes a case for Western democracies to toughen their stance towards China.
Truss, Britain’s shortest-serving prime minister, took office last September, but was forced to resign less than two months later after her economic policies sparked market turmoil.
Since then she has given speeches in Japan and Washington about the need for a tougher stance towards China. She will also deliver a speech during her Taiwan visit on May 17.
