Taiwan's democracy camp is using a global liberal party gathering in Bangkok to raise its international profile and push back against pressure from China.

• Taiwan lawmakers Fan Yun and Chang Ya-lin are attending the Liberal International assembly, a gathering of liberal and democratic parties from around the world.
• Fan Yun is running for an executive vice president post in the organization, aiming to get Taiwan's voice heard at the leadership level.
• Chang Ya-lin is speaking on a panel about resisting cross-border repression and state intimidation, sharing Taiwan's experience tracking Chinese pressure tactics.
• Other countries' representatives say they feel similar pressure from China and are watching Taiwan's legal responses as a model.
• Attendees are also asking about Taiwan's upcoming local elections and how Taiwan's ruling party is working to engage younger voters.

Outlook: The meeting continues in Taipei later this week, and Taiwan is expected to keep leaning on its democratic and economic track record to build international support ahead of its year-end elections.
