I think it's more akin to sanctions on doing business in Iran.

The CCP is a direct hostile threat to Taiwan, I can understand why they're doing this.



Wouldn't they do the same if it was France poaching them? The language and cultural barrier make it harder for European or American countries to recruit them, but I have no doubt they'd react similarly if they saw significant numbers leaving for Europe.


They might and I'd argue that would be wrong.

In the case of the CCP though, I understand it.


why the double standard?


France isn’t planning to invade Taiwan.


Then just do a sanction on business with mainland like U.S. did with Iran. As it is, these are very targeted moves. Taiwan to decoupling from China would only be good for them.
