In an interview to PTI, Mr Ger said Taiwan and India need to join hands to "fend off" the "expansion of autocracy".
India and Taiwan are threatened by "authoritarianism" and it is high time for both sides to engage in "strategic collaboration", Taipei's de-facto Ambassador Baushuan Ger said on Sunday while referring to China's aggressive behaviour in the region.
In an interview to PTI, Mr Ger said Taiwan and India need to join hands to "fend off" the "expansion of autocracy" as he cited actions in the East and the South China Sea, Hong Kong and Galwan Valley to highlight reasons for tensions in the region.
Following a high-profile visit to Taiwan by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in August, China has been ramping up its military offensive against the self-ruled island of more than 23 million people, triggering global concerns.
China considers Taiwan as its breakaway province and reacted angrily to Pelosi's tour of Taiwan.
