Anders Fogh Rasmussen said European and NATO powers were “too naive” in the run-up to Moscow. theSun theSundaily NATO naive china Taiwan threats
Former NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen speaks during a press conference at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Taipei on January 5, 2023. AFPPIX: European powers must do more to dissuade China from invading Taiwan, including being prepared to unleash painful economic sanctions and train Taiwanese troops, the former head of NATO said Thursday.
“The world hasn’t so far paid sufficient attention to the tensions in the Taiwan Strait,“ Rasmussen told reporters. “I think we should react determinedly if China were to attack Taiwan, and we should replace strategic ambiguity with strategic clarity,“ he said. He added that military and cyber defence equipment could be shared “to make Taiwan capable to defend itself by itself”.
“We have built a Europe based on security provided by the United States, cheap goods from China and cheap gas from Russia. That model doesn’t work any longer,“ he argued.
