发帖数: 1 | 1 Seoul, South Korea (CNN)China is closely watching the events in Ukraine to
evaluate its own strategy towards Taiwan, the island's foreign minister has
warned.
"When we watch the events in Ukraine evolving ... we are also watching very
carefully what China may do to Taiwan," Joseph Wu said during a press
conference Monday.
Some analysts have pointed to parallels between Russia's designs on Ukraine
and fears over the future of Taiwan -- a self-governing island democracy
that Beijing claims as its own and has not ruled out taking by force.
"The danger will be that the Chinese leaders think that the Western reaction
to the Russian aggression is weak and not coherent, and not having any
impact. The Chinese might take that as a positive lesson," added Wu while
discussing additional steps that Taiwan is taking to help Ukraine.
Asked if he is concerned the crisis in Ukraine makes it more or less likely
China will make a similar move, Wu said the world has seen an "expansion of
authoritarianism," pointing to the joint declaration issued by China and
Russia last month. |
