The Evolution of China’s Interference in Taiwan

  • On June 23 in The Hague, NATO’s Secretary General Mark Rutte voiced his concerns regarding China’s extensive military expansion and its assertive stance toward Taiwan and neighboring countries.
  • This concern arises against the backdrop of China’s long-standing One China policy, its view of Taiwan as a separatist province, and Taiwan's effective sovereignty as the Republic of China.
  • Rutte highlighted NATO's commitment to meet the 2014 defense spending target of 2 percent of GDP this year and introduced a new 5 percent benchmark, noting three to five Chinese defense firms now rank among the global top ten.
  • He called for increased caution regarding China's actions, warning that China would coordinate with Russia to keep Europe distracted if it considers moves against Taiwan, and highlighted the importance of remaining vigilant and avoiding complacency.
  • These developments signal heightened geopolitical tensions requiring NATO and partners to increase defense investment and maintain alertness amid China's unprecedented military expansion and regional pressure.
