Former President Tsai Ing-wen wrapped up her Europe tour in London. On Monday, she visited a Taiwanese-owned Asian grocery store in Notting Hill, and had lunch with Taiwanese artists living in the UK. The day before, she gave a speech at the London School of Economics law school, her alma mater, on Taiwan’s global trade amid geopolitical challenges.
The crowd went wild when former President Tsai Ing-wen appeared on the streets of London.
Tsai: Come stand behind me. We’re taking a bird’s eye view group photo.
As her Europe tour comes to a close, Tsai is visiting an Asian grocery store owned by a Taiwanese expat. The store offers plenty of Taiwan-produced favorites, such as pickles, shacha sauce, ice-cream, danbing crusts and frozen baozi.
Store owner: We’re promoting Taiwanese products to foreigners.
Tsai: Are your customers mostly from Taiwan?
Store owner: Yes, from Taiwan, and also other nationalities.
Tsai: Oh?
Store owner: We’re introducing Taiwan to them through food.
Reporter: Which Taiwanese dish is your top recommendation to foreigners?
Tsai: Gua bao.
She also had lunch with Taiwanese artists working in the UK.

I am proud to say I’m from Taiwan. None of this would be possible without the eight years of our country steered by you. So thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.
On Sunday, she gave a speech at her alma mater, the London School of Economics, where she was also greeted by fans.
A screaming fan says she loves Tsai. The former president high-fived the crowd, and did small talks and took photos. Inside the venue of her address, she was introduced to the audience by LSE professor and incoming dean of law school, Andrew Murray.
Andrew Murray
LSE Professor of Law
She worked as a law professor, who no doubt I would be happy to have had on my faculty. She graduated from the National Taiwan University and Cornell University
before achieving what is undoubtedly her greatest triumph, earning her PhD in law from LSE.
Tsai Ing-wen
Former president
My experience at LSE made me the kind of trade negotiator I was, and it prepared me for my career in academia, and above all, in politics.
She also expounded on Taiwan’s trade amid difficult geopolitics.
Tsai Ing-wen
Former president
In the face of "race-to-the-bottom" competition from Chinese exporters, which are often subsidized, Taiwanese businesses did not compete to lower prices. Taiwan managed to keep its competitiveness by making itself an indispensable provider of key components in the global supply chains. This is known as the strategy of "hidden champions."
Tsai said Taiwan had remained resilient in the face of challenges, and continues to be a trusted partner in global trade. For her to address one of the world’s top universities also demonstrated Taiwan’s soft power.

2025-05-19
前總統蔡英文，到英國訪問接近尾聲，最後一場公開行程，她到諾丁丘(Notting Hill)走走、跟台灣觀光宣傳計程車合體，並跟旅英台灣人聚餐、參觀亞洲超市。被問到跟外國人推銷台灣美食，首選哪道菜？她不假思索給了超台式答案，也感謝台灣人在世界各個角落，宣傳台灣。
又是拍照，又是索取簽名，前總統蔡英文，現身英國倫敦街頭，引起一陣騷動。
前總統蔡英文: 你們站在我後面 我們集體從天空照一張
訪問英國接近尾聲，她到台灣人開的亞洲超市參觀，台式脆瓜、沙茶醬、小美冰淇淋、義美蛋餅皮、奇美包子，滿滿台灣味。
亞洲超市業者: 把台灣的產品推給外國人

“我非常驕傲的說我是台灣人，如果沒有您這8年的領導，在這裡很多事情都不可能，所以我打從心裡感謝您”
這趟英國行，蔡英文也回到母校倫敦政經學院演講，引起現場轟動。
粉絲團團包圍，不斷猛烈告白，蔡英文更展現親和力，和所有人一一擊掌回應，還走上前和他們話家常、合照來者不拒。準法學院長莫瑞熱情招待，談起蔡英文這位校友，滿是驕傲。

“她曾擔任法學教授，毫無疑問，我很樂意讓他成為我的教員，她畢業於國立台灣大學和康乃爾大學，在取得無疑是她最大的勝利之前，在倫敦政經學院獲得法學博士學位”

“我在LSE的經歷，讓我成為這樣的貿易談判員，也讓我在學術界，尤其是政治界的職業生涯，做好了準備”
話鋒一轉，蔡英文談及地緣政治新局勢。
[[前總統 蔡英文]]
“面對來自中國出口商的逐底競爭，中國出口商通常獲得補貼，台灣企業並未競相降低價格，台灣透過讓自己成為全球供應鏈中，不可或缺的關鍵零組件供應商，來維持其競爭力，這就是所謂的隱性冠軍策略”
分析台灣在多次動盪中都能保持韌性，是值得信賴的夥伴，蔡英文回母校，展現高人氣、更大讚台灣隱形實力，別具意義。
