“The endeavor we launch today will help sustain peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region,” they said. The ministry yesterday reiterated its shared values with like-minded partners. Taiwan is in a pivotal position in the first island chain, and has long shared the benefits of regional peace and stability with Australia, the UK, the US and other like-minded states, ministry spokeswoman Joanne Ou (歐江安) said in a statement. The emergence of AUKUS shows that China’s “wolf warrior” diplomacy is not accepted by the international community, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) said separately. Countries have to bear China’s dumping practices even as it boosts its military expansionism through economic growth, Tsai said.
