## Resource

At the end of April, Taiwan’s President, Lai Ching-te ( 賴清德 ) was forced to cancel a diplomatic visit to Eswatini after multiple countries denied overflight access—an unusual and highly coordinated move. Days later, RightsCon 2026 in Zambia was abruptly cancelled, reportedly due to the planned participation of Taiwanese civil society groups. What connects these two events? In this episode, we examine how the Chinese Communist Party exerts pressure on governments and international organizations to marginalize Taiwan. From diplomatic restrictions to event cancellations, we break down the tactics Beijing uses to expand its global influence and limit Taiwan’s visibility on the world stage. 🔎 Topics covered: CCP’s weaponization of aviation safety CCP pressure in Africa Human rights and tech conference censorship (RightsCon 2026) What you need to know ahead of the forthcoming Trump - Xi summit If you’re interested in China–Taiwan relations, global politics, or international pressure campaigns, this episode unpacks a story unfolding right now.
