The EU has threatened China with stiffer sanctions for those who entered against the Russian Federation

In the case of escalation in Taiwan, Ukraine may lose attention to the United States, European diplomats say. Although public representatives of the European Union are reluctant to speak about the possible escalation of the situation around Taiwan, European diplomats recognize the real danger that the situation in the conflict between the US and China can get out of control.

If this happens, the EU will impose a sanction against Beijing, which will prove to be more rigid than imposed against the Russian Federation after the start of a full -scale war in Ukraine. About it writes Politico. "(The situation) can be easily exacerbated," a high -ranking European diplomat told reporters, adding that in the worst case, the US attention will turn away from Ukraine because of tensions with China through Taiwan.

On Sunday, Pelosi announced that he was taking a delegation of Congress to Tourna Asia. From rumors, a stop on Taiwan, which caused a fierce reaction of Beijing, was not mentioned in her official route, but could still happen.

The publication notes that the full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine forced European politicians to think about the previously incredible consequences of imposing economic sanctions against China - the second largest economy of the world - if Beijing tries to carry out a military invasion of Taiwan.

"In the event of a military invasion, we have clearly made it clear that the EU, together with the United States and their allies, would introduce the same or even more serious measures than we have now taken against Russia," said New EU Ambassador to China Tledo. Recall that the tensions between the US and China occurred against the background of a possible visit to the chairman of the House of Congress of Nancy Pelosi on Taiwan, which China considers its territory.
