European Parliament adopts tougher China stance, calls for Taiwan Strait naval presence
South China Morning PostLO·CN · EU · TW·3 days ago
The European Parliament overwhelmingly passed a resolution calling for a tougher China policy, including a continuous naval presence in the Taiwan Strait and joint exercises, while describing Beijing's industrial policy as an 'existential threat'. This marks a significant escalation in EU-China rhetoric, moving beyond economic concerns to security and military posturing, despite Beijing's lobbying. The report's adoption signals a potential shift in EU policy, though its implementation remains uncertain and may face resistance from member states.
