Liz Truss Takes Strong Stance Against China and Urges Action from the West.

Liz Truss, a prominent China hawk and former UK foreign secretary, has called for more action from the West to combat China ahead of her controversial visit to Taiwan. Truss argued that it is important for the West to engage with the self-governing island, which China views as its territory. She also warned that any threat to Taiwan that goes unanswered by the West would embolden Russia and Vladimir Putin, who she said was "working in partnership" with China's Xi Jinping. Truss called for a "common approach" on issues such as technology exports and dependency on China.
