Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry said on Nov. 28 that it welcomed the new policy directions outlined in Canada’s Indo-Pacific Strategy, which identifies China as “an increasingly disruptive global power.”

“We welcome the launch of Canada’s Indo-Pacific Strategy, which expresses great concern over China’s disruptive rise & stresses the importance of #Taiwan-Canada partnership,” the ministry said on Twitter.
