Cross-party delegation led by Liberal MP John McKay meets with President Tsai Ing-wen, as China continues to issue threats
Days after China staged military drills aimed at seizing Taiwan, a group of Canadian lawmakers on Wednesday delivered a strong message of support to the island’s President Tsai Ing-wen.
“The troops are ready and able to fight at any time to resolutely crush any form of attempt to seek ‘Taiwan independence’ and external interference, and they have the courage to fight and the mettle to win,” Mr. Zhang said. She said Canada has “demonstrated its concern for peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait” in Ottawa’s Indo-Pacific Strategy, unveiled last year. That document promises Canada will “work with partners to push back against any unilateral actions that threaten the status quo in the Taiwan Strait.”
“Taiwan has long had to deal with Beijing’s meddling in its democracy, whether in terms of disinformation campaigns or other activities, and I think Canada could learn a lot from Taiwan about how to protect our citizens,” Mr. Chong said. The report last month urged the government to “strongly consider the benefits of diplomatic visits to Taiwan.” Until then, Mr. Chong said parliamentary delegations have an outsized importance when it comes to building political, trade and economic ties with Taiwan.
