“This display of force may have a direct impact on European security and prosperity. The EU encourages all parties to avoid any unilateral actions that might increase tensions across the Strait. We Europeans - we have an interest in preserving the status quo in the Taiwan Strait ... and we will continue voicing our concerns in our contact with China and publicly, and step up coordination with like-minded partners such as the G7. The EU wishes to enhance relations and cooperation with Taiwan within the framework of its 'one China' policy, while strengthening their people-to-people ties. Exchanges between the two sides have also been expanded in that past few years to include human rights, trade and economic issues. While enhancing ties with Taiwan, the EU also has to address China's assertiveness and attempts to intimidate Taiwan's like-minded partners.”
