Taiwan's foreign minister Joseph Wu urged the international community Wednesday to help defend his country and region against "expansionist" Chinese moves, saying Taipei feared Beijing would resort to force.
Taiwan was "on the front line defending democracies from being taken over by the communist China" and needed help from other countries, he told the France 24 TV station.
Wu said China "has been intensifying its military threat against Taiwan" in recent years and had stepped up military exercises in the region.
More than 30 Chinese military
planes have recently crossed into Taiwan's air defence identification zone, he said, describing this as "very threatening."
China views self-ruled Taiwan as its own territory and has vowed to one day seize it — by force if necessary.
