3:02Now PlayingTaiwanese President Lai Ching-te’s recent visit to the African kingdom of Eswatini was supposed to be a routine diplomatic trip. Instead, it turned into a covert 15,000-mile operation involving revoked flight permissions, emergency route changes, a borrowed royal aircraft and an elaborate effort to avoid Chinese pressure and surveillance.
According to a detailed New York Times report based on interviews with Taiwanese officials involved in the mission, China’s efforts to block Lai’s travel forced Taiwan to improvise what became one of the most unusual presidential trips in its recent diplomatic history.
