TAIPEH, Aug 30 (AFP): A Czech delegation arrived in Taipei on Sunday in the second high-profile foreign visit to Taiwan this month -- a setback for China's campaign to keep the democratic island isolated from the rest of the world.

The 90-member group, led by senate speaker Milos Vystrcil, landed two weeks after US health chief Alex Azar marshalled the highest level mission to Taiwan by Washington since it switched diplomatic recognition to Beijing in 1979.
