There are quite a handful of countries standing up against the CCP right now. Those with official diplomatic relationship with Taiwan, for example. I get your point though; many European leaders should feel bad (but they don’t, which is the problem).

Which country with relations to Taiwan has stood up against the CCP?

Sorry, but all the micro countries that recognize Taiwan do so for the money they get from Taiwan in exchange.

Palau has quietly done a lot, for example. The move is particularly intriguing since they rely a lot on tourism, and Taiwan literally can never offer enough to compensate their economic loss. Money is clearly not the goal in this case.
