Danish foreign policy experts have raised concerns that Denmark is moving closer to Beijing’s position on Taiwan, blurring the line between its long-standing One China policy and China’s One China principle. According to Danish China researcher Andreas B. Forsby, Denmark’s approach has “eroded so far that it is virtually indistinguishable from Beijing’s.”, he states in an article for The Diplomat. Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen defended the practice, stating that Denmark does not recognise Taiwan as a state. However, critics warn that this administrative change effectively aligns Copenhagen with Beijing’s terminology and undermines the EU’s traditionally cautious approach to Taiwan’s status. While Norway previously adopted a similar registration policy, Denmark’s move marks one of the most explicit endorsements of Beijing’s position within the European Union, prompting concerns that China’s influence could pressure more European governments to follow suit.
