TAIPEI - The wife of Taiwan’s main opposition candidate in a presidential election has canceled a campaigning trip to Singapore after the government said it did not permit “foreign political activities”.
But Singapore does have close informal ties with Taiwan, including militarily, and was the site in 2015 for a landmark meeting between China’s President Xi Jinping and Taiwan’s then-president, Ma Ying-jeou. Singapore’s Foreign Ministry, responding to what it called questions “regarding reports on the cancellation of a visit to Singapore by the spouse of a politician from Taiwan”, said foreign political activities were not allowed.
The Kuomintang, which used to rule China until it was forced to flee to Taiwan in 1949 after losing a civil war with the Communists, says it wants to improve relations with Beijing.
