’One China’ policy may complicate int’l response to Taiwan: Ex-Finnish PM

Former Finnish prime minister Sanna Marin said yesterday that the international community could find it "much more complicated" to respond to Chinese coercion against Taiwan than to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine because of the "one China" policy.During a Q&A session after her keynote speech at the 10th Ketagalan Forum in Taipei, Marin said Europe had responded with unity to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, but the situation across the Taiwan Strait poses additional complications for governments.Marin, who led the Nordic country from December 2019 to June 2023, said the "one China" policy could affect how the international community responds to developments involving Taiwan.
