China needs to realize that Western countries don’t view the self-ruled island of Taiwan in a similar way to the semi-autonomous city of Hong Kong, former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair said.
“It’s important that we understand what China’s position is in relation to Taiwan, how deep this ‘One China’ policy is,” Blair said in an interview on Thursday with Bloomberg Television in Singapore. “They have to understand that Taiwan is not the same as Hong Kong. And there are very strong views on this in the West.”
