Vice President-elect Hsiao Bi-khim's Visit to Europe Proceeded Smoothly Despite Reported Resistance =============== #50cfed5a ver:0.21 Taiwan's Vice President-elect Hsiao Bi-khim's visit to Europe proceeded smoothly, despite reported resistance. The upcoming presidency of Lai Ching-te (William Lai) marks a critical juncture for Taiwan as it navigates an assertive China and seeks to safeguard its sovereignty. Lai plans to maintain the status quo while diversifying away from China, which will impact Taiwan's foreign direct investment landscape. Europe should prioritize trade relations and security cooperation with Taiwan to deter Chinese aggression and support economic diversification. Increased engagement with Taiwan could disrupt China's trade with the EU and invigorate Europe-Taiwan relations. #Taiwan #China #Europe... #newstr #Taiwan #China #Fdi #Eu #Germany #Mofa #Transit https://here.news/story/50cfed5a?ver=0.21
