Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the recommendations set out in the report Mapping out the UK's response to grey zone escalations against Taiwan, published by the China Strategic Risks Institute in May.

The UK has a clear interest in peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and has restated its importance alongside G7 partners. We consider the Taiwan issue to be settled peacefully by the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait through constructive dialogue, without the threat or use of force or coercion. We do not support any unilateral attempts to change the status quo. This includes increased Chinese assertiveness towards Taiwan.
