India-Taiwan: Referring to China’s aggressive stance in the region, Taiwan’s unofficial ambassador Baushuan Geer said on Sunday that India and Taiwan are threatened by “autocracy” and the time has come for both sides (India and Taiwan) to “strategic cooperation”. . In an interview to PTI, Gere cited China’s moves in the East and South China Sea, Hong Kong and the Galwan Valley to escalate tensions in the region, saying Taiwan and India need to “stop the expansion of autocracy”. A handshake is required. China has intensified military aggression against the self-governing island with a population of more than 23 million, sparking global concern since US Parliament Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s high-profile visit to Taiwan in August.
China claims Taiwan as its share
In fact, China claims Taiwan as its share and expressed strong displeasure over Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan. Gere said Taiwan appreciates India for standing up for justice, peace and stability in the Gulf of Taiwan in the wake of China’s military aggression in response to Pelosi’s visit.
Autocracy threatens both India and Taiwan
“Both India and Taiwan are threatened by autocracy, so close cooperation between the two sides is not only desirable but necessary,” he said. I think the time has come for us to have a strategic partnership. It can be started with increasing trade and technical cooperation.
