TAIPEI — Former British prime minister Liz Truss will say in Taiwan on Wednesday that the West must avoid appeasing China and show unwavering support for the self-governed island, in a speech that risks further damaging Britain's relations with Beijing. Truss is the most well-known British politician to visit Taiwan since former prime minister Margaret Thatcher in the 1990s, and her trip comes at a time when relations between Britain and China are the worst in decades. She represents a hawkish wing of the governing Conservative Party that opposes the British government's approach to China, which involves seeking to engage in areas such as trade and climate change while trying to limit national security threats.
