The EU has made its position clear! On April 1st, the EU issued a statement claiming that China's military exercises around the Taiwan Island were "escalating tensions," and called for both sides to exercise restraint. EU foreign affairs spokesperson Anita Schiper said: We urge all parties to remain restrained and avoid taking any actions that may escalate tensions. It is very clear to us that the EU does not support our deterrent military drills.
However, we are puzzled about one thing: has the EU stopped mentioning the principle of One China on the Taiwan issue? The EU calls on us to exercise restraint, believing that our military exercises are intensifying the tension trend, but what has the EU done regarding Tsai Ing-wen, which cannot be seen at all? On the Ukraine issue, the EU firmly supports the territorial and sovereignty integrity of Ukraine. Shouldn't the EU also support our efforts to achieve territorial and sovereignty integrity on the Taiwan issue?
Obviously, in terms of supporting territorial and sovereignty integrity, the EU cannot apply double standards. If the EU hopes for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, it should support our peaceful reunification more. Moreover, the Taiwan issue is our internal affair, and we have the right to take any targeted actions based on the situation in the Taiwan Strait. Our conditions for unification are becoming increasingly ripe. In the process of achieving national reunification, we expect the EU to view our national reunification with a more positive attitude.
