TAIPEI — China's military is learning from Russia's invasion of Ukraine that any attack on Taiwan would have to be swift to succeed, but the Taiwan Strait would make that challenging, the island's defence minister said on Friday .
Taiwan Defence Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng said the Chinese military would have taken notes from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began one year ago."The Russia-Ukraine war has brought great lessons for them — they will definitely seek speed," Chiu told reporters on the sidelines of parliament in Taipei, referring to China's military.
"I've said it before — as soon as the guns sound we will keep going to the end. But we absolutely will not provoke." The two countries announced a "no limits" partnership shortly before Russia launched what it calls its "special military operation" on Feb 24 last year.
