China slams Eswatini PM for visiting Taiwan

China slammed Eswatini's Prime Minister Russell Dlamini's visit to the Taiwan region, urging the African country to "mend its ways as soon as possible".

Dlamini reportedly arrived in Taiwan on Monday. He met with the region's outgoing head Tsai Ing-wen, among other people, visited companies and attended an event pitching for investment in his country.

Voicing firm opposition to the visit, China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Friday it is a serious violation of the one-China principle and China's sovereignty.
