The United Kingdom, France, and Germany have jointly expressed their concerns about recent maritime activities by China near Taiwan’s eastern coast. They warned that these actions could threaten regional stability and the freedom of navigation in the area.
The representative offices of these three European nations in Taipei released a statement noting their observation of new Chinese activities in the waters east of Taiwan. These activities include patrols by the Chinese coast guard. The statement highlighted that such developments pose potential risks to international shipping and regional security.
These concerns come at a time when military and maritime activities around Taiwan are receiving increased scrutiny. The European governments have consistently stressed the critical importance of ensuring peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and its surrounding waters.
