In light of the ongoing war in Ukraine, United Microelectronics Corp founder Robert Tsao (曹興誠), who is known for his pro-China stance and proposed a “unification” referendum in 2007, has made surprising remarks regarding Taiwan’s national security. In an article published this week, Tsao said that Taiwan could only achieve long-term peace by adopting a “two-state theory.” As most of those endorsing the theory have previously been pro-Taiwan politicians, Tsao’s theory, while not original, is indicative of a consensus forming among Taiwanese and of how the global community reg...

During an interpellation over power outages at the Legislative Yuan last week, Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Chiang Wan-an (蔣萬安) — great-grandson of Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石) and grandson of former president Chiang Ching-kuo (蔣經國) — repeatedly demanded that Premier Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) “guarantee” there would be no more blackouts.

Broadcasting Corp of China chairman Jaw Shaw-kong (趙少康) earlier this week said that the Ukraine crisis has set an example for Taiwan: Small countries should know their place and never provoke big countries. Consequently, Taiwan should avoid antagonizing China at all costs. However, if Taiwan were to draw lessons from the Russia-Ukraine war, it would not be the capitulationism nonsense that Jaw has been promoting. Instead, it should focus on the following points: First, small countries should embark on a path of self-reliance to foster national prowess by investing in national security ...

As the Ukraine crisis continues to intensify, the concept of “Finlandization” has been resurrected as a potential compromise for eastern Europe. The concept refers to smaller countries refraining from policies that oppose an adversarial neighbor while nominally retaining independence, such as Finland did toward the Soviet Union during the Cold War. French President Emmanuel Macron last month reportedly suggested that the Finlandization of Ukraine would be “one of the models on the table” for defusing tensions with Russia. Drawing a comparison between Taiwan and Ukraine, Chinese Nation...
