Taiwan urges Europe to play a bigger role in cautioning China.

Taiwan's Foreign Minister Joseph Wu is trying to garner more support from European Union (EU) actors to caution China against aggression towards the island. Wu said he wanted to remind European friends of the close economic interests between Taiwan and Europe and hoped that EU governments understood the possible impact aggression against Taiwan could have on the global stage. Wu also expressed concern that a possible EU-Taiwan investment deal was "caught as a hostage" as Brussels mulls a way ahead on a trade and investment agreement with China.
