EU says China's links with Russia now 'determining factor' in ties

100%, i don't believe Europe has to be a part of China's conflict with Taiwan but i do think it is one of the only two parties that could make a difference for the Taiwanese and that other party doesn't seem very concerned with other nations wellbeing as of lately. Although Europe would still need at least either Korea or Japan to be able to make a stand. But it seems those two are perfectly willing to stand against both Russia and China so it's up to Europe to devide whether Ukraine and Taiwan win or lose their respective fight.
