The European Union must deepen its ties with democratic ally Taiwan, said lawmakers in a report approved on Oct. 21, despite strong opposition from the Chinese regime.
The European Parliament adopted the report, titled the EU-Taiwan Political Relations and Cooperation, by an overwhelming majority in the French city of Strasbourg, with 580 votes in favor, 26 against, and 66 abstentions.
