Foreign Minister Wu draws a connection between the war in Ukraine and the geopolitical tensions in Asia, highlighting the alliance between Russia and China as a significant global threat.

"We often talk about the war in Europe and the great threat to peace in Asia as two separate spheres," Wu said in a speech at a conference in Prague."The reality is that they are highly interconnected, and the impact is global." The comments came at a conference hosted by the European Values Center for Security Policy, a Prague-based think tank. The conference opened with a speech by Czech President Petr Pavel.
But the self-ruling island of 23 million people has built up its informal links to Europe in recent years, especially in Central and Eastern Europe where countries like the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Lithuania have been at the forefront. He added that while the war in Ukraine has caused global economic fallout, conflict in the Taiwan Strait would"It will be the same or even worse if war is to break out in the Taiwan Strait where roughly half of the world's container ships sail through and more than 90 percent of the most advanced computer or semiconductor chips are produced," Wu said.The Czech Republic has been particularly forward-leaning in its engagement with Taiwan.
Speaking at the conference in Prague, Pavel appeared to share a similar sentiment as Wu when he said that authoritarian countries around the world were closely watching"how democratic countries react to aggression" from Moscow in Ukraine because"this will define their [own] steps in the future."
