Joyce, the former deputy prime minister and former deputy chair of the national security committee, is among a cross-party group of federal politicians visiting Taiwan this week.

The group is not on a formal government trip. Visits by sitting ministers or prime ministers are considered to be highly provocative by the Chinese government.

Joyce said he was returning to Australia on Thursday night.
