In today's hearing, I discussed with Defense Minister Chiu 邱國正 about Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), how it applies to weapon systems, training and exercises.

I asked NSB DG Tsai to look further into PRC's influence operations in Taiwan and how the intelligence agencies can work more effectively with the law-enforcement agencies to expose and counter China's malign activities.

In face of China's enhanced gray-zone activities, I encourage Defense Minister Chiu 邱國正 to consider deploying UAVs to counter air incursions by the PLA, instead of flying manned aircrafts to conduct interceptions.

Taiwan reaches a new milestone this week as we install our 200th offshore wind turbine, producing enough electricity to power 1.2 million households.

Again and again, the PRC demonstrates to the world that it has zero respect for international rules & norms that have kept us safe for decades. Anyone who thinks China is only targeting Taiwan has not been paying attention.
Here is the footage of the CCG vessel's unsafe and unprofessional maneuver to block the PCG vessel from replenishing the BRP Sierra Madre. China is a signatory to COLREGs, which is meant to prevent such unsafe practices. apnews.com/video/politics-ph… video courtesy of @AP.

Terry Guo claims that PLAAF is operating around Taiwan because DPP is running the government and that if he's elected President of Taiwan, China will stop sending warplanes near Taiwan.
My simple question would be: are Japan, Australia, Philippines all run by the DPP?

In addition to trade, Taiwan and the US can and should do more on education exchanges, particularly at the local/state level. Specifically this means more english language teachers coming to Taiwan and more Chinese language teachers going to the US.
During my first international trade mission, I signed an executive order establishing a Virginia-Taiwan trade office.
This is Virginia's fourth international trade office & represents our enduring commitment to foster collaboration in this region & enhance our ties with Taiwan.

Over the past 3 days, the people of Taiwan remain calm, cautious & confident in face of China's unwarranted military operations. I want to thank our service members in the armed forces, coast guard & everyone in the nat'l security community for their professionalism & sacrifice.

Taiwan's armed forces represent the best of Taiwan. Today and everyday, we wake up feeling safe and secure because of their sacrifice.
#Taiwan is our homeland, and no matter where we go or what we encounter, she is always charming and beautiful. Every story on this land is etched in our memories. We, #ROCArmedForces, are fighting with all our heart to defend our homeland and to protect our home together.

There is only one country that's causing trouble, that is China.
Taiwan will not be intimidated. We will do whatever it takes to protect and defend our freedom and democracy.

China didn’t have to react, but China chooses to become a trouble maker, again.
PLA's Eastern Theater Command has announced to conduct combat-readiness patrols and joint exercises encircling #Taiwan starting today. #ROCArmedForces have monitored the situation and responded accordingly with our assets to defend our country.

王定宇 Wang Ting-yu, MP retweeted
On April 5th, PLAN Shandong aircraft carrier fleet passed through the Bashi Channel and entered Taiwan's southeastern waters, launching its first West Pacific training. Without escalation, ROC Armed Forces have monitored and responded to the situation with our assets.

Russia's war against Ukraine is ongoing but now is not the time to stay silent, #IStandWithEvan.
“We will carry on doing everything in our power to secure Evan’s release.”
Appearing in today’s print edition of The Wall Street Journal, a note to readers from @WSJ Editor in Chief @EmmaTuckerWSJ as we continue to push for Evan's safe return. #IStandWithEvan

⚠️ There is absolutely no basis for China to react aggressively to the announced meeting btwn President Tsai and Speaker McCarthy. It is not uncommon for US members of Congress to meet with Taiwan's President during stopovers in the US.

Reporter: Do you have any message for Pres. Tsai of Taiwan who's now in New York?
UN Spox: UN's position on China is guided by One-China Policy.
Reporter: I'm not asking about China.
Reporter: Is China running the UN?
UN Spox: that's the most ridiculous question I've ever heard.
This is how the @UN respond to any Taiwan-related questions.
#Taiwan, Asia's leading democracy, is excluded from the UN system, while #Russia becomes the president of the UN Security Council on April 1st.
The UN needs to be radically reformed.

She's my President, Taiwan's President.
My accepting the Global Leadership Award from the @HudsonInstitute’s CEO John P. Walters & Chair Sarah Stern is in truth a tribute to the people of #Taiwan. We will continue to work with like-minded partners to show that we can & will prevail in defending our democratic values.
