Taiwan and the EU’s ‘safe list’By Ian Inkster 音雅恩An outrageous dismissal of the exemplary Taiwanese fight against COVID-19 has been perpetrated by the EU. There are 14 nations on the list that have been chosen as safe countries of origin and safe countries of destination for the EU. Yet, as I have noted above, South Korea with its 63 new cases and its 254 cases per million appears within the EU list of safe nations. However, the EU list of safe nations includes Rwanda at 100, Algeria at 89, Georgia at 74 and Uruguay at 54. Second, Taiwan is a thorn in the side of China, but there is no reason to argue that China could possibly object to the inclusion of Taiwan in the EU’s “safe list.” China has so many other things aimed at Taiwan.
