TAIPEI/BEIJING -- China's campaign to warm ties with Europe was tripped up again on Thursday as Czech Senate leader Milos Vystrcil met with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen in Taipei, pushing cross-strait relations to the diplomatic forefront.
Vystrcil is the Czech Republic's second-highest ranking official after President Milos Zeman. He arrived in Taiwan Sunday as part of a larger delegation, despite his country having no diplomatic ties with the self-ruled island.
