The chair of the British parliament’s defence select committee said there is “much to explore” in boosting military help for Taiwan and that he had
discussed the island’s submarine programme while visiting Taipei last week.
Britain, like most countries, has no formal diplomatic ties with democratically governed and Chinese-claimed Taiwan but has stepped up its support for the island in the face of a rising military threat from Beijing, as have other Western nations.
While the United States is Taiwan’s most important foreign source of weapons, British companies have been helping develop Taiwan’s new fleet of domestically built submarines.
