It’s about survival. In a new report, the EU called Taiwan a "leading partner" in tech, resilience, and fighting disinformation; especially from China. What’s striking? The report didn’t just praise Taiwan’s gadgets or economy. It highlighted how Taiwan runs civil defense drills, protects its info spaces, and prepares for gray-zone threats; things most countries only talk about. Even more interesting? The EU wants to learn from Taiwan, not just partner with it. This isn’t diplomacy as usual. It’s a signal that in the age of cyber wars and hybrid threats, practical preparedness matters more than ever; and Taiwan’s quietly becoming the global classroom for democratic resilience.
