Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te has urged for increased defence and AI cooperation with Europe to enhance Taiwan's security against China. In a recent interview, he noted Taiwan's support for its semiconductor companies investing overseas, particularly in Europe, as the island strengthens economic ties with its third-largest export market amidst uncertainties about US defence commitments.

Lai emphasized Taiwan's military expansion and the need for its semiconductor industry to maintain research and production capabilities. He also acknowledged the ongoing war in Ukraine as a lesson for Taiwan's defence planning, expressing solidarity with Ukraine.
