EU intelligence chief's trip to Taiwan sabotaged by China | Taiwan News |
Morgado was forced to cancel the trip after information about his visit had been obtained by China and Beijing applied pressure on the EU.
It is uncertain whether the sensitive data had been leaked to China via human or electronic sources. The diplomats also privately expressed concerns about China's interference in the EU official's itinerary.
After the article was published, an EU official denied reports that Morgado was planning to visit Taiwan and claimed that the meeting was merely to take place over the phone. The official then claimed that the teleconference was also canceled due to China's aggressive military response to U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan in August.
Exchanges between the EU and Taiwan have been on the rise with Foreign Minister Joseph Wu (吳釗燮) making an unprecedented visit to Brussels on Oct. 29, 2021 to meet with EU figures, while members of the European Parliament's Special Committee on Foreign Interference in all Democratic Processes (INGE) arrived in Taipei on Nov. 3 last year.
On Tuesday (Sept. 13), Reuters cited six sources as saying that top Taiwanese officials are pitching the idea of preparing sanctions in the event China invades the country in the wake of its stepped-up military exercises and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

After Russia loses in Ukraine, China will become 'enemy of all people': Japanese journalist | Taiwan News |

During the Ukrainian-Russian war, China's Xi Jinping regime made a serious miscalculation and made a wrong bet, and must pay a considerable price. In addition, in recent years, China has been unanimously condemned by the international community for its various perverse actions on Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Taiwan issues. Next, it is likely to become the next "enemy of the whole people" after Russia.
The whole world is concerned: how will the CCP regime after the 20th National Congress face the new international order? Are you choosing to continue fighting? Or put down your stature and make concessions on issues such as human rights?
The Wolf Warrior diplomacy in recent years has made the international community no longer easily trust China. Even if China wants to repair relations with Europe and the United States and return to the line of reform and opening up, it will be difficult to win the trust of others. Moreover, China's domestic economy has gradually lost its vitality in recent years, and the practice of "spending money" to buy younger brothers in the international community has gradually become ineffective.
The Ukrainian-Russian war ended with the defeat of the aggressors, which is of course a good thing for Taiwan. In the future, the international community will concentrate its efforts and pay more attention to the security of the Taiwan Strait. However, as Taiwan, we must not take it lightly. We must strengthen the awareness of civil defense at any time, and be alert to the desperate and desperate attempts of dictators on the other side.
