  • Ursula von der Leyen
    Ursula von der Leyen “I am following the situation in Georgia with great concern and condemn the violence on the streets of Tbilisi. The European Union has also clearly expressed its concerns regarding the law on foreign influence. The Georgian people want a European future for their country.” 18 hours ago
  • Oleksandr Kozachenko
    Oleksandr Kozachenko “If we compare it with the beginning (of the Russian invasion), when we fired up to 100 shells a day, then now, when we fire 30 shells it's a luxury. Sometimes the number of shells fired daily is in single digits.” 19 hours ago
  • Abdallah al-Dardari
    Abdallah al-Dardari “The United Nations Development Programme's initial estimates for the reconstruction of … the Gaza Strip surpasses $30bn and could reach up to $40bn. The scale of the destruction is huge and unprecedented … this is a mission that the global community has not dealt with since World War II.” 19 hours ago

“The European mission was intended to send a message to the world that all political forces in Europe have acknowledged the importance of engaging with Taiwan. Taiwan has developed a collective response to Chinese disinformation campaigns by incorporating think tanks, NGOs, and the media. The more vibrant a society is, the greater strength it possesses to counter external forces. Aligning with democracies against authoritarianism is not only in the interest of the EU but also a matter of principle. China's aspiration goes beyond Taiwan only, and the failure to take action will only feed its growing ambitions.”

“The EP delegation's visit is only symbolic to show support. As discontent toward the DPP [ Democratic Progressive Party] authority mounts on the island of Taiwan, Tsai [Tsai Ing-wen] is trying to create an anti-mainland atmosphere once again, passing its public policy failure to a political obstacle set by others.”

“All this EU-Taiwan activity now is the result of Taiwan's efforts to be a meaningful partner for the EU, either in value or in concrete cooperation. Taiwan is also a showcase for the EU to promote its value-oriented policy in the Indo-Pacific area. Minister Wu's [Joseph Wu] visit to Europe was initiated by member states, not the EU, but it shows that member states are also more willing and open-minded to explore the possibilities to cooperate with Taiwan on many issues.”

“Countering disinformation is a subject that enjoys broad support within the EU among member states, intensified by China's influence operations and use of disinformation throughout the pandemic to undermine European democracy and unity. In contrast, building closer ties with Taiwan is still work in progress inside the EU, precisely because of the China factor as member states have not agreed on the kind of relationship they want to have with China in the future. So for the (European Parliament) to use disinformation as a means to engage Taiwan is wise and provides a sustainable way forward.”

“This display of force may have a direct impact on European security and prosperity. The EU encourages all parties to avoid any unilateral actions that might increase tensions across the Strait. We Europeans - we have an interest in preserving the status quo in the Taiwan Strait ... and we will continue voicing our concerns in our contact with China and publicly, and step up coordination with like-minded partners such as the G7. The EU wishes to enhance relations and cooperation with Taiwan within the framework of its 'one China' policy, while strengthening their people-to-people ties. Exchanges between the two sides have also been expanded in that past few years to include human rights, trade and economic issues. While enhancing ties with Taiwan, the EU also has to address China's assertiveness and attempts to intimidate Taiwan's like-minded partners.”

“Such an agreement [bilateral investment deal with the EU] will strengthen our mutual interests and solidify our shared values. Taiwan is ready to shoulder its share, and we will not take our partners' support for granted. Taiwan not only shares the EU's values but is a leader in many important technologies.”

“I'm heartened to see vocal support from the EU [to Taiwan] in part because as Beijing tries to bully Lithuania, it's important to show that's not going to work. The EU didn't need to make this statement - it was a decision to make a statement they know would not be viewed favourably by Beijing.”

“I think the European Union should invite Taiwanese leaders to Europe. Legislators throughout Europe as well as countries are under increased pressure from China. We must learn from that. We must make value change much more independent from Chinese influences... I strongly support the name change [of the European Economic and Trade Office in Taiwan to 'European Union Office in Taiwan']. The name change of the office in Taiwan would reflect such a broadening of the scope of relationships between the Europe and Taiwan.”

“By playing such tactics, some anti-China MEPs actually want to challenge the one-China principle and replace the sovereignty state with the idea of a 'democratic entity' to promoting the international status of the island of Taiwan. These MEPs' hypocrisy and malicious purposes are too obvious to hide. With these MEPs, the European Parliament has also become a populist organization that violates the interests of the EU and attempts to abduct China-EU ties.”

“The first European Parliament report on EU-Taiwan relations sends a strong signal that the EU is ready to upgrade its relationship with our key partner Taiwan. The Commission must now intensify EU-Taiwan relations and pursue a comprehensive enhanced partnership with Taiwan. Work on an impact assessment, public consultation and a scoping exercise on a Bilateral Investment Agreement (BIA) with the Taiwanese authorities in preparation for negotiations to deepen our economic ties must begin before the end of this year.”
