“My message to the people of Taiwan, is keep Taiwan FREE.” Thanks for standing with Taiwan, and for using your platform to give voice to the Tibetans, Uyghurs and Hong Kongers who are deprived of the freedom to have a voice.
I love seeing Tibetans, Uyghurs, Taiwanese, Hongkongers, everyone!!
All standing in solidarity urging for one simple thing: Freedom!!!
This is the beginning of a new generation of hope.

I was honoured to join my colleagues for a lunch with the @EP_Democracy delegation led by @rglucks1. We had a productive discussion on how Taiwan and the EU can partner on countering externally organised disinformation campaigns by making our societies more resilient.
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed unprecedented challenges for all of us. Working together to defeat this pandemic shows the strength of the United States-Taiwan relationship.
If Xi Jinping doesn't even bother to show up (even virtually), why do we continue to let China block Taiwan's participation.
As world leaders head to Glasgow for #COP26, Taiwan is once again left out of the conversation that seeks to address the most pressing issue of our time.
1.5 million more doses of Moderna vaccine on the way! Our donation reflects our commitment to Taiwan, a vibrant democracy, valued partner, and trusted friend.
Taiwan’s democracy supports transparency, respect for human rights, & the rule of law – values leading to a more peaceful & prosperous world. We benefit from the contributions of all stakeholders, incl. Taiwan, toward solving shared challenges at the @UN and other institutions.
Taiwan's exclusion from @UN bodies undermines the institution's important work. The United States sees Taiwan as a valued partner, a democratic success story, and a trusted friend that should have meaningful participation in the UN system. state.gov/supporting-taiwans…
Pratas Island was mentioned for the 1st time in MND's China Military Power Report 2019, since then China has stepped up its grey-zone operations in Southwest Taiwan both in the air & at sea. It's important that we continue to focus our resources on asymmetric capabilities.

Taiwan is one of the world’s most vibrant democracies, a global high-tech powerhouse, and a hub of travel, culture, and education. The international community would benefit from Taiwan’s expertise, including at the UN. #TaiwanCanHelpyoutube.com/gvHLF-1zjc0
🇪🇺🇹🇼 EU Parliament today votes on the historic report on EU-Taiwan political relations and cooperation. That Chinese Communist Party efforts to stop this democratic process were futile sends a strong signal from Strasbourg to Beijing.
I urge MEPs to vote in favor of my report.
Report on EU-Taiwan Political Relations and Cooperation
Debate on the Weimers-report calling for closer EU-Taiwan relations.
NSB DG Chen Ming-tong 陳明通 & I talked about how to more effectively counter China's political influence. This begins w/ asking social media sites like Facebook to make transparent their censorship guidelines & seek clarity on why certain comments appear to be censored more.
I met with Foreign Minister Wu to discuss the latest development in Taiwan-U.S. relations, our strategy to rally like-minded trade partners to support Taiwan's CPTPP application, int'l coordination to end the COVID-19 pandemic.
As Guam's strategic importance continues to increase, I believe it makes practical sense to have a defense attaché office at Taiwan's mission in Guam. Maintaining regular communication channels with our U.S. counterparts is critical to preventing a crisis and during a crisis.
Had an opportunity to exchange views w/ Senior Advisor to Senator Menendez Mr. Michael Schiffer. I conveyed to Mr. Schiffer our deep appreciation for U.S. strong & bipartisan congressional support over the years and our desire to ensure that it remains so in the decades to come.
Enjoyed meeting @TECRO_USA Representative Hsiao today to discuss a wide range of topics in our dynamic economic relationship with Taiwan. I look forward to leading the next iteration of the Economic Prosperity Partnership Dialogue with Taiwan.
Great meeting yesterday with @TECRO_USA Representative Hsiao. The U.S. commitment to Taiwan remains rock-solid, and I look forward to working closely with Rep. Hsiao to further strengthen our ties. -DJK
DoD: "We'll continue to support a peaceful resolution of cross-strait issues, consistent with the wishes and best interests of the people of Taiwan, & our commitment to TW is rock solid & contributes to the maintenance of peace and stability across the strait & within the region"
