TAIPEI, Taiwan—Taiwan’s top diplomat says his government stands with Hong Kong citizens pushing for “freedom and democracy,” and would help those displaced from the city if Beijing intervenes with greater force to quell the protests.
Speaking to The Associated Press in Taipei on Dec. 10, Foreign Minister Joseph Wu was careful to say his government has no desire to intervene in Hong Kong’s internal affairs, and that existing legislation is sufficient to deal with a relatively small number of Hong Kong students or others who seek to reside in Taiwan.
