In this episode of Perspectives with Neilo, we explore Taiwan’s role in the Global Economy, and what impact a conflict in the Taiwan strait would have on the EU and beyond.
Our podcast features content from the Berlin Taiwan Conference which took place on December 5th and 6th last. The conference which was organized by Reinhard Bütikofer MEP for Alliance 90/The Greens, brought together academics, experts from business and politics, government representatives and members of civil society to discuss Taiwan's economic importance and its role as a partner in Indo-Pacific policy. It took place against a backdrop of ongoing discussions in Germany and in the broader EU on new approaches for dealing with China.
