Military think tank expanding its European tiesBy Aaron Tu / Staff reporterThe Institute for National Defense and Security Research is expanding its ties with think tanks in Europe, and they are interested in Taiwan’s experience in countering China’s security threats, a source familiar with the matter said yesterday. Many European nations have been alerted to China’s “wolf warrior” diplomacy, military expansionism and its ties with Russia, which is an opportunity for the institute to acquire more partners through “think tank diplomacy,” an institute member said on condition of anonymity. An undated photograph shows the logo of the Institute for National Defense and Security Research in Taipei. Several European nations have expressed an interest in learning from Taiwan’s experience in countering disinformation campaigns and cognitive warfare by Beijing, the member added. “European nations that maintain close ties with Washington cannot be indifferent to the situation.”
