As the world focuses on Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a delegation of former US officials has signalled American support for another democracy that's come under increasing pressure from an authoritarian power.
The former defence and security officials, led by ex-chairman of the joint chiefs of staff Mike Mullen, met with Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen overnight during a two-day visit to the self-ruled island - which has expressed its solidarity with Ukraine.
"The Ukrainian people's commitment to protect freedom and democracy and their fearless dedication to defending their country have been met with deep empathy from the people of Taiwan, as we too stand on the front line of the battle for democracy," Ms Tsai said in remarks before the meeting.
