UK Security Review to Assess Threat to Taiwan

Moscow, March 12 – The Telegraph reported that the new comprehensive review of UK security, defense and foreign policy issues will include reference to the threat posed by China to Taiwan.

The comprehensive review of security, defense, and foreign policy has been updated to include a reference to the threat that China poses to Taiwan.

The newspaper said Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s “updated” document to be released on Monday attempts to strike a balance between taking a tougher approach to China’s “defiant” behavior and maintaining cooperation in certain areas.

According to the UK’s comprehensive review of security, defense and foreign policy, published in 2021, Russia is described as “the most acute immediate threat to the UK” in the document.

Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss pledged to “reshape Britain’s foreign policy” and revised last year’s comprehensive review of security, defense, development and foreign policy, which sets out Britain’s diplomatic and defense priorities for the next decade. She planned to declare China a “threat” to the country’s national security.
