Taiwan Eyes Ukraine's Struggle as a Blueprint Against China's Ambitions

In a rare European visit, a senior Taiwanese military officer highlights the importance of a Ukrainian victory against Russia. Drawing parallels, Taiwan prepares against China's potential aggression, seeking international support, and learning from Ukraine's resilience. The geopolitical tension raises alarms about a dual-crisis involving China and Russia.

In an unusual appearance at a European security forum, Taiwan's military officer emphasized the significance of Ukraine's resistance against Russian forces, drawing parallels to Taiwan's situation with China.

With Beijing's assertive stance, Taipei fears losing Ukraine could embolden China further towards its goals concerning Taiwan, as stated by Deputy Chief of the General Staff for Intelligence, Hsieh Jih-Sheng.

Hsieh highlighted the increasing pressure from China's 'grey zone' operations. Taiwan seeks to share its counter-disinformation strategies with Europe, reciprocating support amid heightened tensions and potential two-front crises involving Taiwan and Ukraine.
