China condemns Eswatini for being 'kept and fed' by Taiwan in travel row

China has condemned Eswatini for hosting Taiwan President Lai Ching-te, using strong language to describe Eswatini's leaders as being "kept and fed" by Taiwan. This criticism comes after Lai returned home from a surprise trip to Eswatini, one of 12 countries with formal diplomatic ties to Taiwan. China views Lai as a "separatist" and has demanded that other countries refuse to deal with his government or host him. Taiwan's government has been in celebratory mood after Lai's successful trip to Eswatini.
