Chinese strategy aimed at the external islands Taiwansuch as Kinmen and Matsu, reflects Moscow's actions from 2014 before the invasion of Crimea-warned the CEO of the Taiwanese National Security Bureau (BBN) Tsai Ming-Yen, quoted on Thursday by the “Taipei Times”.
Tsai formulated his comments by answering the questions of MP Lo Mei-Ling on Thursday, which pointed to the similarities between the Russian justification of the invasion of Ukraine as “denazification” and comparison of President Laia Ching-Te to Adolf Hitler, made by the chairman of the nationalist Party Kuomintang (KMT) Erica Ch.
