Taiwan's de facto ambassador to Berlin Shieh Jhy Wey urges Germany to further enhance relationship with Taipei

Taiwan's de facto ambassador to Berlin Shieh Jhy-Wey  urged Germany to further enhance relations with Taipei. He also wished that Germany and its strategic partners would invite Taiwan to participate in their upcoming excecises in the Indo Pacific, or arrange more bilateral visits. 

In an interview conducted on Wednesday he  asserted that  if China  ups ante  towards Taiwan, that there must be a corresponding



reaction towards the country .  

Germany has been on many occasions accused of long being soft on Beijing on issues like rights abuses and its attitude towards Chinese-claimed, self-ruled Taiwan due to its heavy economic reliance on China. Shieh also said Taiwan should be more closely integrated into international organisations like the United Nations, the World Health Organization or Interpol.
