Taiwan's government called on the European Union to quickly begin trade talks after the bloc pledged to seek a trade deal with the tech-heavyweight island, something Taipei has long angled for.

The EU included Taiwan on its list of trade partners for a potential bilateral investment agreement in 2015, the year before President Tsai Ing-wen first became Taiwan's president, but has not held talks with Taiwan on the issue since then.

"As a like-minded partner of the EU's with core values ​​such as democracy, freedom, human rights and the rule of law, Taiwan will continue to strengthen cooperation in the supply chain reorganisation of semiconductors and other related strategic industries, digital economy, green energy, and post-epidemic economic recovery."

Taiwan plans $9 bln boost in arms spending, warns of 'severe threat'Taiwan proposed on Thursday extra defence spending of T$240 billion ($8.69 billion) over the next five years, including on new missiles, as it warned of an urgent need to upgrade weapons in the face of a 'severe threat' from giant neighbour China. US Military Industrial Complex wins again. The 'Threat from China' narrative works everytime just as the 'Threat from USSR' did. If Taiwan thinks China can be stopped by weaponry bought by it from US, it should ask itself why US couldn't win in Afghanistan against the Taliban?😎 No use. China can easily take Taiwan back like getting back a child from a daycare. F**k. DPP let taiwan be US' cash cow again n again. I will bet the families/relatives of DPP govt officials are skimming money over the deals.... poor Taiwanese tax payers, they need to wake up to these scams...
