Taiwan Foreign Minister Wu Zhaozheng said that Taiwan is of strategic significance for the global semiconductor industry and global shipping. Mainland China ’s force attacking Taiwan will bring catastrophic consequences to the world.He also admits that Taiwan does not expect the United States to fight for them.
Wu Zhaozheng issued the above warning in an interview with AFP on Wednesday (August 2).He said that Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February last year led to global food and fuel shortage, as well as spiral inflation.Considering the interruption of the supply chain caused by the cross -strait conflict, any military behavior against Taiwan will cause global response.
He said that the Taiwan government also hopes that the Beijing government will not move against Taiwan because the impact on the world is too serious."What we need to do is to explain to the international community that if there is any conflict involved in Taiwan, it will bring catastrophic consequences to other parts of the world."
The containers must be split through 180 kilometers wide water roads in Taiwan and mainland China. In addition, Taiwan almost monopolizes the global advanced chip. If the cross -strait conflict broke out, it will have a huge impact on the global trade and semiconductor industry.
Since the government's entry into the government in 2016, the relationship between Taiwan and mainland China has declined sharply, and communication between the two sides of the strait is almost interrupted.After visiting the Taiwan government in August last year in August, the US House of Representatives was angry at the Beijing government. Almost every day in the sea and air areas near Taiwan, there were mainland Chinese fighters and warships cruising.
Wu Zhaozheng said that this frequency has caused Taiwan's defense depth to be compressed and shortened, and military threats are more serious than ever.In addition, the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine War made the international community realize that Taiwan may be the next Ukraine.
Wu Zhaoxing said that the international community's moral support and military assistance in Taiwan, such as the US Pentagon announced on the weekend that it was worth $ 345 million (about S $ 462 million) for military aid plans, it is worthy of praise.
But he also admits that Taiwanese do not expect the United States to fight for them."We understand that this is our place, this is our country, this is our sovereignty, this is our democratic lifestyle ... So defending Taiwan is our responsibility, and we will not give up it anyway."
