Taiwan preparing for when — not if — China launches military attack: minister
“What China wants to do to Taiwan is to eliminate Taiwan’s international support,” Wu said, adding such meetings with U.S. officials date back far before Tsai’s time in office., whose trip came after a similar visit by American lawmakers following Tsai’s meeting with McCarthy.
“If we flash back to the Second World War … one country, one man pointing to one territory and saying ‘that is mine and that is mine,’ and they go grab it,” he said. He explained non-governmental organizations and civil society groups have led the charge in combatting disinformation and “malign influences” sowed by China as it has sought to regain control over the island.
“If the Canadian government or Parliament is interested in learning from Taiwan, I’m sure all these NGO groups, very well-informed and highly experienced, they will be very interested in working together with Canada to deal with the malign influences of the Chinese government,” he said.
