Taiwan, which produces 90% of the world's advanced semiconductors, has been leveraging its technological prowess to strengthen relations with the European Union, as Taipei aims to enhance deterrence against China in the event of a Taiwan contingency.
In a recent weeklong visit to the Czech Republic, Poland and other EU member states, Taiwan's Foreign Minister Joseph Wu apparently sought strong ties in semiconductors among other sectors.
Wu visited the European Parliament in Brussels on June 16, met a dozen officials including parliamentarians, and asked that attention be paid to the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
