FEATURE: Generalization of EU states risky: observersBy Lin Chia-nan / Staff reporterWhile Taiwan is improving relations with central and eastern European countries, it should not generalize about countries that have varied political contexts, but find different ways to promote Taiwan’s culture, observers said. A notice from the Chinese Ministry of Justice to Taiwanese writer Lin Wei-yun about documents from a Polish court are displayed during Lin’s interview with the Taipei Times and the Liberty Times on Thursday last week. Because if you discuss the relations between Taiwan and the EU or the US, you cannot take China out of the picture,” she said. “Still, we should not generalize about the CEE countries when it comes to their relations with Taiwan [or] China. They have different history, interests and political realities, which inform their choices also on the international stage,” she said.
