Tensions with China have been heightened by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to the island.
Beijing responded by announcing multiple military exercises around the island, parts of which will enter Taiwanese waters.
Taiwan has been self-governing since nationalist forces fled there in 1949 after the communists took control of China.
It is considered to be a rebel province by China, which claims the island as its territory and opposes any engagement by Taiwanese officials with foreign governments.
Ms Truss, speaking on a Conservative Party leadership campaign visit in Ludlow, Shropshire, said: "I do not support China's inflammatory language on this issue.
"It's perfectly reasonable what is taking place and I urge China to de-escalate."
