Tsai urges EU nations to back Taiwan

Agreed, but who instead other than the US?

EU at least has more import value than places like a us, can, SA, afric etc.

If not EU, who?

Taiwan has to try more than.poor gangster countries. At the very least, rich gangster unions…

Of course, but Taiwan needs to keep friendly relations to the EU and Taiwan needs to initiate them. There is zero pressure for the EU to do anything for Taiwan, so Taiwan needs to have the image of the advanced, liberal, democratic, human rights above all else place that gets raped by the bad commies from the Mainland in order for the EU to even give a damn.

I don’t think that will do it. The victim card doesn’t work without some muscle to back it up.

Tibet had way more exposure than Taiwan in the West.
Result - nothing .

To be fair, there’s zero economic and strategic military incentive for them to do anything for Tibet compared to Taiwan. At least Taiwan has some strategic value in the Asian pacific in the narrative to fight communism and totalitarianism and has some pull economically (diminishing under china but still relevant m)

What would the EU do, make a bit of noise and that’s about it.

Nothing, but I think it could be something to get the US on board if they feel they won’t carry the burden of that alone.
