'The crescent of defense formed by Korea, Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines will, with American support, be a key stabilizer of peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region,' says the speaker of Taiwan's parliament.
WASHINGTON, DC, USA – The speaker of Taiwan’s parliament praised Japan, South Korea and the Philippines on Tuesday, May 16, for helping to create a “crescent of defense” with Taiwan and the US against China’s ambitions in the Indo-Pacific region.
“The CCP wants to see the East rise and the West to decline,” You said. “We can say that protecting Taiwan equates to defending both Europe and the United States.” You praised Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol for calling Taiwan a global issue and opposing a change to the status quo by force. He said this had “offset” remarks by French President Emmanuel Macron that a conflict in the Taiwan Strait had nothing to do with Europe.
The staunch support democracies have provided Ukraine should act as a deterrent to Xi “to prevent him from taking any reckless action so that he will not become a second Putin,” You said.
