“If Taiwan were annexed by China, China’s expansionist ambitions would not stop there. Instead, it would become more aggressive,” Taiwan President William Lai told AFP in a recent interview published Thursday, according to a press release issued by his office.
“If Taiwan were to be annexed, the next countries under threat would be Japan, the Philippines, and others in the Indo-Pacific region, with repercussions eventually reaching the Americas and Europe,” he prognosticated.
