Members propose changing the name of the European Economic and Trade Office in Taiwan to ‘European Union Office in Taiwan’ in order to reflect the broad scope of EU-Taiwanese ties.
It’s time the European nations start recognizing Republic of China aka Taiwan as a sovereign nation and stop supporting The Peoples Republic of China aka fake chinas lame narrative and “one china policy”.
Republic of China
Best China!
As far as I’m aware in a UN-summit they accepted the One-China view. Deviating from that will have a political cost.
Then again, with Taiwan’s knowledge of Chip production and the global shortage of chips now would be an excellent time to have better relations to at least siphon some know-how so Europe can become less dependent on foreign powers.
Just read the article. Awesome news for all European and Taiwanese people!
~~Finally, a post I have the right to comment on!~~
It’s interesting to see that a lot of pro-Taiwan voices are coming from EU Parliament (i.e. the only directly elected EU institution) as opposed to EU Commission or other national governments.
To me it shows that even though individual member states want to keep it under wrap for political reasons (understandably), there is at least some degree of friendly-sentiment towards Taiwan among normal voters at grassroot level.
Europe sanpai noticed us!
Taiwan is a country. The fact that the EU, *meant* to be a powerful bloc, still can’t speak up in support of a democratic nation for fear of troubling China, is absolutely ridiculous.
China will not democratise because of the American neoliberal financial order, or because they’ve joined the IMF/WTO.
Be weak on China and spell your own undoing.
Quite the story Lithuania started. Looks like a ton of people are fed up with Winnie’s bullshit and want to freely decide who they have relationships with. They just needed the right push, and a case study to assuage their fears.
Hope it gets more and more traction. Taiwan has been nothing but reliable and democratic.
Taiwan should also take part in the Eurovision song contest 🇹🇼🇺🇳🍍🎼
