European Parliament backs Taiwan on UN resolution

Friday, 25 October 2024 03:45 Taipei Times

The European Parliament yesterday passed a resolution stating that UN Resolution 2758 does not have any bearing on Taiwan’s participation in the UN or other international organizations, and rejected as unacceptable any unilateral change to the “status quo” in the Taiwan Strait.

The motion passed by 432 votes in favor and 60 against with 71 abstentions during a plenary vote.

The resolution condemned China’s continued military provocations against Taiwan, including drills around the nation on Monday last week.

Blockade would be act of war: minister

Thursday, 24 October 2024 05:12 Taipei Times

A Chinese blockade of Taiwan would be an act of war and have far-reaching consequences for international trade, Minister of National Defense Wellington Koo (顧立雄) said yesterday, after drills by China last week practiced such a scenario.

Beijing has over the past five years staged almost daily military activities around Taiwan, including war games that have practiced blockades and attacks on ports.

China’s latest war games named “Joint Sword-2024B” were carried out on Monday last week, which Beijing said included simulating blockading ports and areas, and assaulting maritime and ground targets.
