Foreign Minister Jaushieh Joseph Wu said that it is critical for democratic countries to join together in support of Taiwan and Ukraine to deter authoritarian aggression and preserve the international rules-based order.
The minister made the remarks in an article entitled "Defending Taiwan by Defending Ukraine: The Interconnected Fates of the World's Democracies" published May 9 on prominent U.S. magazine Foreign Affairs' website.
In light of Chinese military support for Russia and the two regimes' "no-limits partnership," democratic cooperation has become increasingly important, Wu said, adding that economic, humanitarian and military backing for Ukraine must be sustained, as the geostrategic interests of democracies are closely linked. Taiwan has accordingly welcomed the recent U.S. congressional resolution on military aid for Ukraine.
According to the minister, Taiwan is equally vital to the international order. The country's security is not just an economic issue but also a matter of geostrategic importance since Taiwan Strait peace is essential to maintaining U.S. coalition systems, regional balance and the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons, which Wu called the three pillars of long-term stability and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific.
Taiwan has made considerable progress in enhancing its self-defense capabilities, Wu said, adding that as a responsible member of the international community, Taiwan will steadfastly do its part to preserve the cross-strait status quo and regional peace.
The minister asserted that Taiwan Strait peace is a global issue, with the long-standing trilateral security partnership between Australia, Japan and the U.S., along with another between Australia, the U.K and the U.S. and other emerging security frameworks, helping lay a solid foundation for regional stability.
Wu also urged the international community step up efforts to preserve the status quo in three areas, namely countering China's gray-zone coercion, integrating Taiwan into international economic mechanisms such as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, and opposing China's distortion of U.N. Resolution 2758 while executing freedom of navigation operations in the Taiwan Strait, Wu added. (POC-E)

Foreign Minister Jaushieh Joseph Wu gave a joint interview to a media delegation from countries in the Indo-Pacific region during which he reiterated Taiwan's commitment to joining members of the free world to deter authoritarian expansion.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the group was organized by Hawaii-based think tank East-West Center and comprised 14 journalists from Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand and India. The content has since been published by Yomiuri Shimbun of Japan; Maeil Business Paper, Yonhap News Agency and Munhwa Ilbo of South Korea; Newsroom of New Zealand; and the Indian Express.
Wu welcomed the statement on expanding security cooperation by leaders of the U.S., Japan and the Philippines in April, saying that the framework will help check Beijing's aggression in the East and South China Seas.
The summit, as well as the one held by leaders of the U.S., Japan and South Korea last August at Camp David, shows that an increasing number of democracies are feeling the threat of China's expansionism and working in unity to defend a free and open Indo-Pacific, he added.
Regarding the security of global semiconductor supply chain, the minister said the new plants by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. in Japan, the U.S. and Germany are part of the local sector's global expansion strategy, refuting claims that the moves will lead to a hollowing out of Taiwan's semiconductor industry.
The local semiconductor cluster was built over an extended period of time and covers know-how in design, production, testing and packaging, he said. While it is difficult for other countries to replicate such experience, Wu said Taiwan is willing to work with like-minded partners including Japan, the U.S., South Korea and India to help strengthen the global supply chain's resilience in response to potential geopolitical impacts.
The minister also shared Taiwan's experience in counteracting disinformation. Taiwan has long been under cognitive warfare attack by China, which aims to disrupt society with the spread of disinformation and skepticism about the U.S. He urged members of the free world to take precautions and preemptive measures.
