Departing soon for #Asuncion to attend @SantiPenap’s inauguration & convey to him & the people of #Paraguay the best wishes of @iingwen & #Taiwan. Looking forward to meeting with @MaritoAbdo to express thanks for his staunch support & excited to meet with #US friends in transit.
Unbelievable that Ko Wen-Je's "Taiwan People's Party" official webpage is headlined as such...
If you can't even manage a webpage, you can't govern a country.
The security assistance package authorised by President Biden to Taiwan is another demonstration of U.S. support for Taiwan's self-defense. The capabilities provided will allow Taiwan's armed forces to train and exercise more realistically and vigorously.
Taiwan's Vice Presidential transits through the United States are not visits, it's routine and consistent with long-standing practices. There is absolutely no reason for the PRC to paint this as a new thing or overact.
Had the opportunity to meet one of Taiwan’s strongest ally and friend @Cooper4SAE in Taipei this week! Taiwan and Canada have so much in common, including shared values and challenges. Let’s work together to make the world safer and prosperous!
“The lesson for China is that the war in Ukraine has massively increased strategic ambiguity about what could happen if they were so foolish as to launch a military takeover of Taiwan.” But will Xi draw the right conclusions? My @WSJ Review cover essay. wsj.com/articles/why-the-war…
As part of the DPP government's efforts to achieve net-zero emissions, Taiwan will be investing more than 2 billion US$ (NT$64.3 billion) to de-carbonize public transport and phase out diesel buses by 2030.

Last night, our first agreement under the Taiwan-US Initiative on 21st-Century Trade was signed by Rep @Bikhim & AIT M/D Ingrid Larson. This milestone agreement is an important step toward furthering #Taiwan-#US trade ties & spurring more growth & prosperity.
Going forward, I hope that my public statements and writings will not be twisted to suggest that I support any particular candidate running for president in Taiwan.
Under the guidance of Wang Huning, the latest effort by the PRC to influence the info environment in Taiwan include inviting senior executives from Taiwan's media outlets to China. The goal is to conduct agenda & narrative setting for the upcoming presidential election in Taiwan
Under DPP, Taiwan continues to be one of the most progressive countries in Asia. On 5/16, we strengthened legal protections for same-sex couples to adopt children. On 5/26, we imposed tougher regulations on the mining industry to better protect indigenous rights & the environment
Very pleased to welcome @trussliz to Taiwan's Legislature! We had a fruitful discussion with on regional threat landscape, cyber security, information warfare and global trade! 🇹🇼🇬🇧
Taiwan is actively fortifying defenses and addressing security challenges so that peace and stability is preserved, and so that Taiwan will continue to be one of the safest and most reliable places for business.
The United States strongly encourages the @WHO to invite Taiwan to participate as an observer at this year’s World Health Assembly meeting so Taiwan may lend its expertise to the discussions.
