Taiwan pitches the "Taiwan Model" to Europe at the Warsaw Security Forum
Taiwan is offering itself to Europe as a trusted industrial partner against both Russian military pressure and Chinese economic pressure — good news for European industry looking to cut its dependence on Beijing.
- Taiwan's foreign minister told the Warsaw Security Forum that Europe faces three problems at once: security, a weak economy, and the race to control AI.
- The pitch is a "Taiwan Model" built on chips, AI, and precision manufacturing to help Europe rebuild its factories and stand on its own.
- The warning is "China Shock 2.0" — China using huge state subsidies to flood markets and turn industry into a weapon against European manufacturers.
- Taiwanese investments already on the ground were held up as proof: TSMC in Germany, GlobalWafers in Italy, Foxconn in France, plus a planned Taiwanese tech park in Poland.
- Zelenskyy and Polish Prime Minister Tusk used the same forum to push for harder pressure on Moscow, with over 3,000 delegates from more than 90 countries attending.
Outlook: Expect Taiwan to keep courting the France-Germany-Poland "Weimar Triangle" and to position itself for a role in rebuilding Ukraine.
