Former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper says the West must dissuade China from launching an invasion of Taiwan, warning that such a war would “dwarf” the current conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine.

“If China were to take Taiwan, or there were to be a war across the Taiwanese Strait, I mean, that would be a geopolitical problem that would dwarf—it would absolutely dwarf anything we’re seeing in the Middle East or in Ukraine,” Harper told audience members at a Canada-U.S. relations conference in Saskatoon on July 28.
