What's also interesting in Xi's congratulatory message is Xi noted that "the situation across the Taiwan strait is complicated & serious".
Wait a second, isn't he the one responsible for this?
In his congratulatory message to the newly elected KMT Chair Eric Chu, Xi Jinping said he looks forward to working with Mr. Chu on unification.
The 1st thing Chairman Chu should do is reject this outright.
I spoke with TV9 of #India on the eve of #QuadSummit, expressing Taiwan’s interest to partner in climate, technology, fight against COVID, and strengthening ties with India. youtube.com/VWXcCD6TJXs
Fair & reciprocal trade is key to Taiwan's future economic growth, that's why we're applying to join #CPTPP. This isn't just about cutting tariffs, it's about building resilient supply chains, accelerating low-carbon transition & raising labor & environmental standards globally.
‘Global vaccines equity and solidarity is crucial in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, which, unfortunately, continues to disrupt the lives of people and countries around the world’, said PM

China's latest coercive trade tactics against our java apple & sugar apple are unacceptable, Taiwan will file a formal complaint to the @wto. Meanwhile, we'll do everything to help Taiwanese farmers expand & diversify markets, including putting in place a 1 billion program.
The fact that KMT chairmanship candidates are campaigning against each other on who’s closer to the CCP and who has the guts to stand up to the United States is a worrying sign.
It was a pleasure meeting with @bikhim - Taiwan's🇹🇼 ambassador to the US🇺🇸 in #WashingtonDC this week & discussing the relationship of #Taiwan & #Lithuania, as well as the upcoming Taiwan's traid & investment tour to LT!🇱🇹 Can’t wait to welcome Taiwan’s delegation this October!
The annual Han Kuang exercise is a remainder not just to military service members but to all the people of Taiwan that the responsibility to protect & defend our democracy falls on all of us.
This morning, I visited Air Force units in my home county of Pingtung as they began day 3 of #Taiwan’s Han Kuang military exercises. It was an honour to witness their rigorous training & dedication to protecting our nation’s airspace.
Let me stress once again: it's one thing to call Taiwan a province of China (even though it's not), but policing how others refer to Taiwan is an affront to freedom of speech. We have a shared responsibility to make sure that Chinese censorship has no place in democracies.
A Colorado high school asked to attend the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women. Before they could get approved by a committee—that China sits on—they had to change an old article on their site to say that Taiwan is a "Province of China.” A high school!
