UK, France, Germany raise alarm about Chinese activities off eastern Taiwan
The rare joint statement said Chinese coast guard patrols and survey ships threaten regional stability and the freedom of navigation.
- On Wednesday, the de facto British, French, and German embassies in Taipei issued a rare joint statement expressing alarm over 'novel Chinese activity' in waters east of Taiwan, citing threats to regional stability and international shipping.
- China deployed coast guard and survey ships into the area earlier this month for what Beijing termed a 'special maritime traffic law-enforcement operation,' which Taiwan's Defense Ministry categorizes as aggressive grey-zone warfare.
- Chinese state media framed the maneuvers as 'sending a pointed warning' to Japan and the Philippines after they announced plans to discuss maritime boundaries in waters Beijing claims as its own.
- Taiwan launched five-day military exercises to test combat readiness, while China sailed its newest aircraft carrier through the Taiwan Strait on Tuesday, hours after the drills began.
- Although Britain, France, and Germany lack formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan, they remain vocal against unilateral changes to the status quo, joining other Western nations in opposing Beijing's increased pressure.
