Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has shocked the world. All parties continue to pay attention to the war in Ukraine and Russia, and they also turn their anxious eyes to Taiwan. Taiwan is strategically located and has been in tension with China since 1949. Under the background of Russia’s invasion, the cross-strait relations have been further plunged into a delicate situation.Nyquite, senior researcher at the French Institute of International Relations and Strategic Studies and the Center for China and Asia Economic Strategy（Valerie Niquet said that if China attacks Taiwan by force, it may trigger the collapse of the Chinese regime.

Niquet pointed out that Taiwan and Ukraine have two things in common. First, they have achieved democratization and turned to the West, challenging the authoritarian regime. Second, they have supported democratic countries. The Ukrainian war helps to better understand the threats to democracy in economies like Taiwan, the risk of attack, and the growing pressure from China.

At the beginning of the Ukrainian war, China may have thought it could do the same, Nyquite added. If Russia wins soon, the ideal scenario they hope for will be verified, that is, the West will be as non-intervention and inaction as ever. Then Taiwan would collapse like Ukraine. China had expected at the beginning of the war in Ukraine that everything would end quickly, making it a model for intervening in Taiwan.

For Niquet, the slogan of “one country, two systems” that Chinese leader Xi Jinping intends to implement has become an empty shell, as is happening in Hong Kong today. She believes that China’s current state will not succeed in conquering Taiwan. If Taiwan is attacked by force, it may even lead to the collapse of the CCP regime. Compared with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s reckless nuclear threat, China’s nuclear capabilities are weaker, and it is more vulnerable to a possible attack by the United States. In addition, China’s nuclear ballistic missile submarine technology has yet to be improved.
