Terrace calls for more firmness towards China regarding Taiwan
Because of China’s arbitrary policy against Taiwan And provoke her from time to time. Former British Prime Minister Liz Terrace, who is visiting Taiwan on Wednesday, criticized Westerners for being lenient with Beijing and criticized the policies of the current prime minister. Rishi Sunak.
The Conservative prime minister, who stayed in power for 50 days last year, supports adopting a firm speech towards Beijing, and wants Sunak to consider China a strategic “threat” to the United Kingdom.
Sunak also called for the “immediate” closure of branches of the Confucius Institute, which is controlled by the Chinese government, in the United Kingdom and the opening of cultural centers in their place, under the supervision of personalities from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
“Some of them assert that they do not want to fight another Cold War,” Trass said in a speech at the Prospect Foundation in Taipei, excerpts of which were distributed to the media.
“But we are not in a position to let them choose, because China has really started a battle for self-sufficiency whether we like it or not, we are free from its economy,” she added.
In her speech, Terrace accused Rishi Sunak and other Western governments of “trying to cling to the idea that it is possible to cooperate with China on matters such as climate change as if all is well” in China.
But without freedom and democracy, there is nothing else. We know what happens to the environment or health under totalitarian regimes that don’t tell the truth.”
Beijing, which opposes any contact between Taiwan and foreign countries, strongly condemned Terrace’s visit to the island. China’s embassy in London said it was “a dangerous political scene that will only harm the United Kingdom”.
