🎙 Anchor: Yin Khvat
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock was the first in the West to criticize Chinese aggression on Taiwan at the UN. She further expressed solidarity with the U.S. Will Germany support Taiwan militarily in the event of a Chinese attack? Shieh Jhy-wey, Taiwan’s Representative to Germany shares with us the political reality on the ground in Berlin. As Taiwan continues to be the focus of global attention, it continues to receive high-profile delegations, including planned visits from Canada, Germany, the U.K., Denmark, Lithuania, and the EU. Why has Europe begun to realize the significance of Taiwan? Is it the country’s semiconductor industry or its unique strategic position? How should Taiwan seize the moment in expanding its international space and benefit from the spotlight? With the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Europe has been hard bit with record inflation while facing a potential Russian shutdown of natural gas and severe drought. What can the EU gain from economic cooperation with Taiwan? In this episode, we speak with Professor Shin Chuei-ling, National Sun Yat-sen University EU expert and Marcin Jerzewski, Taiwan Head of European Values Center for Security Policy to discuss how Taiwan and Europe can work together to resolve their respective crises as ties between them warm up. #shiehjhywey #taiwan #germany #eu #taiwaninvasion #china #ccp #inflation #taiwaneu #eutaiwan #cooperation #militaryintervention #parliamentaryvisit #TaiwanPlus #TaiwanPlusNews #TaiwanNews - TaiwanPlus|https://www.taiwanplus.com TaiwanPlus presents the island’s unique voice on not only local issues but also world events.
