TAIPEI • Taiwan and Europe must work together to defend against authoritarianism and disinformation, President Tsai Ingwen told visiting lawmakers from the Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia yesterday.

Beijing has ramped up pressure on Taipei to accept Chinese sovereignty claims and to limit its international participation, though Ms Tsai says Taiwan will not bow to threats and will defend its freedom and democracy.
