EU Lawmakers Urge Taiwan Support Amid China Tensions

News summary

The European Commission has expressed concerns over China's aggressive posture towards Taiwan, urging EU member states to strengthen ties with Taipei and highlighting the geopolitical risks posed by China's ambitions. A report authored by former Finnish President Sauli Niinisto outlines the potential global economic and security ramifications of any Chinese aggression against Taiwan, notably impacting supply chains, particularly in advanced semiconductors. Concurrently, the European Parliament passed a resolution advocating for Taiwan's inclusion in UN organizations, directly challenging Beijing's One-China principle, which has escalated tensions. European lawmakers visiting Taiwan emphasized that China's hostility is likely to unify the Taiwanese populace against Beijing's influence, drawing parallels with the situation in Ukraine. The EU aims to enhance economic cooperation with Taiwan in key sectors like semiconductors and artificial intelligence, countering China's narrative. Overall, European engagement with Taiwan reflects a shift towards supporting its international presence amid rising concerns about China's regional dominance.
