Chako: Hey Log, the foreign minister of Taiwan said that China is a threat! What does that mean?
Log: Yeah, Taiwan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Joseph Wu, stated at the Munich Security Conference that China is a real threat to security.
Chako: Why did he say that?
Log: He criticized China for pretending to uphold the principles of peace while actually acting contrary to them. In other words, they talk about peace on the surface, but their actions tell a different story.
Navi: This situation highlights the very tense relationship between Taiwan and China. It also reflects the complex positions of both countries in the international community.

Admin’s Note

This news made me rethink the tensions in the relationship between Taiwan and China. In particular, Foreign Minister Lin’s statements highlight the stark differences between China’s claims and Taiwan’s position. I hope the younger generation will take an interest in such international issues. The curiosity and questions that Chako expressed during our conversation are themes we should all reflect on.
