The EU Parliament has voted to re elect Ursula von
der Leyen as president of the EU Commission, giving her
a second five year term.
Outlining her platform, von der Leyen said that she would
seek to deter China from changing the status quo with
Taiwan by military means.
She also recognized the Indo Pacific as a key region
for the world's future.
As for Europe, she said defending democracy is the key
issue facing the block.
Our democracy is under attack from inside and from outside,
and therefore it is crucial that the democratic forces stand
together to defend our democracy.
