EU lawmakers push for closer ties with Taiwan, drawing anger from China

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/world/e ... na-2258651

BRUSSELS: The European Union must deepen ties with Taiwan and start work on an investment deal with the island, EU lawmakers said in a resolution adopted on Thursday (Oct 21), angering Beijing, whose similar deal with the EU struck in 2020 has been put on ice.

The European Parliament in the French city of Strasbourg, with a majority of 580 votes to 26, backed the non-binding resolution requesting that the bloc's executive European Commission "urgently begin an impact assessment, public consultation and scoping exercise on a bilateral investment agreement".

The lawmakers also demanded that the bloc's trade office in Taipei be renamed the European Union Office in Taiwan, in effect upgrading the mission though neither the EU nor its member states have formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan, which China claims as its own territory.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin offered "strong condemnation".

"The EU parliament should immediately stop words and actions that undermine China's sovereignty and territorial integrity," he told reporters in Beijing.

China sends most aircraft to Taiwan ever, one day after US expresses concerns

https://warisboring.com/china-sends-mos ... -concerns/

Yu-Tzu Chiu

Taipei — China sent 56 aircraft to Taiwan’s air defence zone on Monday, Taipei announced, marking a new record number of daily warplane sorties over Taiwan.

The largest incursion was conducted one day after the United States condemned China’s “provocative” military activity near Taiwan.

Taiwan’s Defence Ministry said late Monday that, during the daytime, 52 Chinese warplanes had entered Taiwan’s south-western Air Defence Identification Zone, including 34 J-16 fighter jets, 12 H-6 bombers, two Su-30 fighters, two Yun-8, and two KJ-500 aircraft. In the evening, four J-16 fighter jets were spotted.

The ministry said the Taiwan Air Force had issued radio warnings and its air defence missile systems were activated to monitor the activity.

China’s incursion on Monday was larger than Friday’s 38 sorties and Saturday’s 39, both representing record-high numbers. On Sunday, 16 Chinese warplanes were also spotted in Taiwan’s air defence zone.

US State Department spokesman Ned Price said on Sunday that China’s provocative military activity near Taiwan “is destabilizing, risks miscalculations, and undermines regional peace and stability.”

“We urge Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure and coercion against Taiwan,” Price said in a statement.

China condemns, rejects EU report on ties with Taiwan: spokesperson

http://www.china.org.cn/world/2021-10/2 ... 824580.htm

Xinhua, October 21, 2021

China strongly condemned and firmly rejected the so-called report on the political relations and cooperation between the European Union (EU) and Taiwan adopted by the European Parliament and urged the European Parliament to immediately stop its words and deeds that undermined China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Thursday.

Spokesperson Wang Wenbin made the remarks at a daily news briefing when answering a query on the adoption of a so-called report on the political relations and cooperation between the EU and Taiwan by the European Parliament.

Wang said there is only one China in the world and Taiwan is an inalienable part of the Chinese territory. The one-China principle is an international consensus and the political foundation of China's diplomatic relations with the EU.

The report adopted by the European Parliament is a serious violation of the basic norms of international relations, the one-China principle and the commitments made by the EU on the Taiwan issue, Wang said.

"The European Parliament should immediately stop its words and deeds that undermined China's sovereignty and territorial integrity and stop provocation and confrontation. We urge relevant parties not to underestimate the strong resolution, determination and capability of the Chinese people to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity," he said.

China warns Slovaks, Czechs of retaliation for Taiwan minister visit

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ch ... 2/?rpc=401&

BEIJING, Oct 22 (Reuters) - Beijing warned Slovakia and the Czech Republic on Friday that nobody should harbour any illusions about the "necessary measures" China will take to defend its sovereignty, ahead of a visit to both countries next week by Taiwan's foreign minister.

China, which claims democratically-ruled Taiwan as its own territory, is always angered by visits of senior Taiwanese officials to other countries, viewing it as covert support for the island's claims to be a state.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said they would be watching Wu's "scuttling about" closely.

After Biden says US would defend Taiwan from attack, China says there's 'no room for compromise'

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden- ... ina-defend

After President Biden said at a CNN town hall last night he would defend Taiwan from an attack by China, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said there is "no room for compromise" on its territorial claims on the island.

The latest trading of barbs between the U.S. and China over Taiwan comes just a few weeks after China seized on the United States' withdrawal from Afghanistan to bolster its propaganda against Taiwan. Since then, China has become increasingly aggressive in its incursions into Taiwanese airspace.
.............
Further pushed about whether the United States would defend Taiwan from a Chinese attack, Biden added: "Yes. Yes, we have a commitment to do that."

A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson responded to that comment early Friday morning via the Chinese state-affiliated Global Times.

"No one should underestimate the strong resolve, determination and capability of the Chinese people to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity," the spokesperson said, according to the mouthpiece for the brutal communist regime. "China has no room for compromise."

Jag kan rekommendera det här avsnittet av FollowTheMoney på trådens ämne:

https://podtail.se/podcast/followthemon ... r-fortsat/
Ända sedan kalla krigets dagar på 1950 -talet har Taiwan befunnit sig mitt i ett ingenmansland mellan den kinesiska och den amerikanska intressesfären. Mellan kommunism och kapitalism, och själv valt det senare.

Nu är ön, vars befolkning vill vara självständig, en rik och mäktig men onekligen också svag länk i en kedja vars brott skulle äventyra hela världsordningen och under inledningen av 2020-talet kunde supermakterna ännu en gång konstateras rusta ikapp för att vrida makten över världens viktigaste handelsfarled ur fiendens grepp.

I det ena lägrets ögon har Taiwan aldrig varit något annat än en kinesisk provins tillhörande Folkrepubliken Kina. I det andras är det en liberal demokrati vars trygghet försäkras av västmakterna och USA:s sjunde flotta, som nu seglar upp till en ny kris i Taiwansundet, mitt i en era då den livsviktiga handelsvägen i Sydkinesiska havsregionen har blivit ännu mer ömtålig efter en förödande pandemi.

Västvärldens allierade satsar fortsatt på handelsförbindelser och mjuk diplomati för att bringa ordningen åter till ett fritt Taiwan. Men frågan är om de allierades engagemang är tillräckligt, med ett Kina som talar allt mer tydligt om att man kommer göra vad som krävs för att Taiwans framtid ska vara som införlivat i folkrepubliken under Pekings obestridliga och diktatoriska myndighet, även om detta leder till våldsam och militär konflikt.

Det här är FollowTheMoney, en podcast om makt, storfinans och börsen, av och med programledare Martin Nilsson och utrikesredaktör Joakim Rönning.
I avsnitt 86 ställs frågan om var Taiwan egentligen hör hemma, och om svaret kommer leda till ett fortsatt kallt eller ett nytt hett krig när kedjan väl brister.

Carl Vinson strike group returns to South China Sea with Japanese helicopter carrier

https://www.stripes.com/branches/navy/2 ... 75274.html

The aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson and its strike group are now operating in the contested South China Sea alongside a Japanese helicopter destroyer, the Navy said Monday.
The strike group and the JS Kaga of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force are conducting flight operations, tactical training between surface and air units and maritime strike exercises, the Navy said in a news release.
This marks the first time the Carl Vinson has operated alongside a Japanese vessel in the South China Sea since it deployed from San Diego in early August.
Japan’s helicopter destroyers are small helicopter carriers. One, the Izumo, has been improved to accommodate F-35B short-takeoff and vertical-landing F-35B Lightning II stealth fighters. The Kaga is scheduled for the same treatment.

Taiwan's president confirms the US military is training troops on the island as the threat from China grows

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/taiwanese-pre ... QQmxkzVNXW

Taiwan's president told CNN this week that the threat from China is growing every day.

President Tsai Ing-wen also confirmed the US has a military presence on the island.

Tensions between Taiwan and China have been on the rise.

Taiwan's president told CNN this week that the threat to the island posed by China is growing every day and confirmed the US has a limited military presence on the island for training purposes.

Cross-strait ties between China and Taiwan are at the lowest point in decades as Beijing puts increased pressure on the island. China has stepped up military activity around Taiwan, such as when it sent several large waves of military aircraft into the island's air defense zone earlier this month.

President Tsai Ing-wen told CNN on Tuesday that China is "more ambitious, more expansionist. And therefore things that were acceptable to them, may not be acceptable to them now."

China considers Taiwan an inseparable part of its sovereign territory and has never ruled out using force to take control of Taiwan. China's officials routinely issue tough warnings on Taiwan, which is considered a key national interest.

Although the US switched formal diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing in the 1970s, it remains committed to supporting the self-ruled democratic island's defense. The US primarily supports Taiwan through arms sales, but that is not the sole supportive action.

China urges Lithuania to avoid unsalvageable wrong decisions on Taiwan question

http://en.people.cn/n3/2021/1030/c90000-9913634.html

BEIJING, Oct. 30 (Xinhua) -- China urges the Lithuanian government to abide by the solemn political commitment it made upon establishing diplomatic relations with China and avoid making unsalvageable wrong decisions, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Saturday.
Spokesperson Wang Wenbin made the remarks when asked for comment on a European side's move in relation to the Taiwan question.
According to media reports, the President of the European Council and the President of the European Commission recently expressed concerns in a joint letter over China's criticism of Lithuania's announcement of the opening of representative offices in and from Taiwan.
Wang said the one-China principle is a universal consensus of the international community and the political foundation for the development of relations between China and all countries having diplomatic ties with it.
China firmly opposes the plots of Taiwan authorities to create "two Chinas" and "one China, one Taiwan" in the world, said Wang, adding that China firmly opposes official exchanges between countries having diplomatic ties with China and Taiwan authorities.
He stressed that the European side should adopt a correct position and avoid disrupting the sound development of relations with China.

Taiwan svarar!

Taiwan bashes China for ‘delusions’ about unification

https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4330351

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) said China was making false claims that “after reunification, Taiwan’s financial income can totally be used to improve civil life,” in a press release on Saturday (Oct. 30).

MAC condemned Beijing for its statements about ruling Taiwan, saying the Taiwanese resolutely refused long ago to follow China's path of development. “The government in Beijing does not have a clear view of the current international reality and of the status quo of cross-strait relations, and lacks reflection on how to resolve the predicaments in its internal governance,” wrote MAC.

MAC expressed concerns about China trapping itself in lies and delusions when dealing with Taiwan, as the idea of “one country, two systems” is inherently contradictory. “The key lies in the deficiencies of the CCP’s (Chinese Communist Party) political and social systems, and the only purpose of such a concept is to lure our country into unification,” wrote MAC.

The Taiwan Affairs Council lies and misleads by reusing “propagating tactics to promote this outdated message at this time, and falsely claiming that Taiwanese will benefit in various areas through unification.”

MAC advised China to focus on addressing its internal matters including its energy, economic, and financial crises. Additionally, China should treat its citizens’ demands for democracy seriously, as well as the international communities’ demand for it to remedy its tyranny over Hong Kong, Xinjiang, and Tibet.
