@Europarl_EN VP @nicolabeerfdp says she wants to visit #Taiwan & she calls for EU to adjust its rel w/TW as it reviews rel w/China — the most relevant argument in my view, which all MEPs should embrace, as many already did: @bueti @MiriamMLex @msojdrova

good to recall *some* #EU-level initiatives urging more support for #Taiwan, most coming from MEPs either as individual initiatives or as calls integrated into @Europarl_EN resolutions, also from other EU institutions. see some, not all, in mybelow:
below:
April letter signed by 22 MEPs led by EU-China Deleg Chair @bueti to @JosepBorrellF calling on #EU to engage w/int’l partners for a protocol that would allow #Taiwan to be fully involved in @WHO work against pandemic & against other int’l crisis https://reinhardbuetikofer.eu/2020/04/21/covid-19-who-cooperation-with-taiwan-letter-to-vice-president-borrell/
In latest @Europarl_EN annual report on the implementation of Common Foreign & Security Policy MEPs reiterate support “for Taiwan’s meaningful participation in international organisations, mechanisms and activities”, text adopted on 15 Jan 2020: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-9-2020-0008_EN.html
In her tweet this April President of @EU_Commission @vonderleyen thanked #Taiwan for its gesture of solidarity, stressing we are #StrongerTogether 
(makes total sense for like-minded partners, may I add)

In a Sept. 2020 oped in Le Monde MEPs @bueti @radeksikorski @petras_petras @rglucks1 w/experts from @FGodement, Volker Stanzel former DE Amb. to China, ask EU to rethink its policy on Taiwan & its ‘one-China policy’ and show support to TW #democracy. https://www.lemonde.fr/idees/article/2020/09/14/des-deputes-et-experts-europeens-appellent-l-union-europeenne-a-revoir-sa-politique-d-une-seule-chine-et-a-soutenir-taiwan_6052044_3232.html
hoping to add value to this, I am re-sharing my latest on why it is time for a positive EU policy on Taiwan: https://thediplomat.com/2020/10/time-for-a-positive-eu-policy-on-taiwan/

Re-sharing why I think the EU shd move from tweeting gratitude to meaningful support to TW’s democratic model of excellence, technologically advanced economy w/critical geostrategic location: It would benefit its ‘geopolitical’ efforts.
