Liz Truss's Taiwan trip sparks controversy with China.
TL;DR
The Chinese embassy in London has criticized Liz Truss's visit to Taiwan as a "dangerous political stunt" as the former prime minister prepares to call on Rishi Sunak to declare Beijing a "threat" to UK security. Truss is expected to challenge the prime minister to deliver on his rhetoric during last summer's Conservative party leadership contest, when he declared China "the biggest-long term threat to Britain". She is also expected to urge the west not to work with China, warning that totalitarian regimes "don't tell the truth".
