Taiwan watches China as China and the world watch Ukraine

China is closely watching the events in Ukraine to evaluate its own strategy towards Taiwan, the island's foreign minister has warned.
"When we watch the events in Ukraine evolving ... we are also watching very carefully what China may do to Taiwan," Joseph Wu said during a press conference Monday.
Some analysts have pointed to parallels between Russia's designs on Ukraine and fears over the future of Taiwan -- a self-governing island democracy that Beijing claims as its own and has not ruled out taking by force.

Foreign adversaries including Russia and China have recently directed their intelligence services to ramp up recruiting of US federal employees working in national security, targeting those who have been fired or feel they could be soon, according to four people familiar with recent US intelligence on the issue.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should apologize after his meeting with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office devolved into what Rubio described as a “fiasco,” while questioning whether the Ukrainian leader really wants peace in the country’s war with Russia.
