Press release – China is trying to distort history and international law in Taiwan, MEPs warn
The European Parliament adopted a resolution on Thursday calling on the EU and its member states to firmly reject China’s attempts to distort history and international law in Taiwan.
MEPs stress that China’s recent actions, including military exercises and incursions into Taiwan’s air defence identification zone, are a clear escalation of tensions and a threat to peace and stability in the region.
They also condemn China’s ongoing campaign of disinformation and propaganda aimed at undermining Taiwan’s democracy and sovereignty.
MEPs reiterate their support for Taiwan’s right to self-determination and call on the EU to strengthen its political and economic ties with the island.
They also call on the EU to work with its partners to ensure that the Taiwan Strait remains a zone of peace and stability.
Background
In recent months, China has stepped up its military activities around Taiwan, including conducting live-fire exercises and sending aircraft into the island’s air defence identification zone.
China has also been accused of spreading disinformation and propaganda aimed at undermining Taiwan’s democracy and sovereignty.
The EU has repeatedly called on China to respect Taiwan’s right to self-determination and to refrain from any action that could escalate tensions.
