Taiwan’s Vice President Asks for Support in Rare Brussels Speech

Taiwanese Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim called for greater support and international recognition for the self-ruled island in rare remarks to a European Parliament group in Brussels on Friday.

“Taiwan matters not because we are a victim of coercion. But because the integrity of the international system and global prosperity depend upon a free Taiwan,” Hsiao told the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China’s Annual Summit.
