Wu claimed that security agreements like those signed by the US, Australia, and Japan and the new AUKUS agreement between Australia, Britain, and the US help China stay out of the place and prevent it from becoming even more intense.
Wu expressed confidence in Taiwan’s connection with the US, saying that no matter who wins the November US presidential election, Taiwan will continue to own “very nearby” relations with Washington.
Wu will leave his position after six years and go back to a previous position as National Security Council secretary-general. He again described his job as “probably the most difficult foreign secretary job in the world.” Lin Chia-lung, the president’s secretary, may take his place.
The departing envoy claimed that there are still a lot of difficulties with the position of Taiwan’s foreign minister.
China forbids its political associates from speaking with Taipei, and during Tsai’s time in power, Beijing poached some of Taiwan’s political allies, reducing the number to 12.
Wu has worked to strengthen illegal ties with Asian and European countries, which are Taiwan’s most powerful illegal ally and are required by law to give the island the means to support itself.
In recent years, Lithuania opened a business representative office in Taipei, making it the de facto home of Lithuania. Delegations from some European nations have also traveled to Taiwan.
Wu claimed that due to a number of factors, including China’s activities in the South China Sea, its animal rights crackdowns in Hong Kong and Xinjiang, and Beijing’s management of the COVID- 19 pandemic, European countries have become more friendly to Taiwan’s reason and more careful of China.
” Nobody should be… thinking that they are immune from authoritarian influence”, Wu said.
