I had the pleasure of meeting @SenMarkey today at the LY. We had a productive discussion on the strategic landscape, overall threat picture and Taiwan-U.S. security partnership.
👉China intended to stop Speaker Pelosi from visiting Taiwan by engaging in warmongering = failed.
👉China intended to intimidate the people of Taiwan by launching military exercises around Taiwan = failed.
👉China intends to deter officials from visiting Taiwan = failed.
It's China who chose to escalate and overreact.
Taiwan will always choose peace, stability and... good food🥤🍜🍱!!!

In response to rumors online, there is no missile attack from PLA against Taoyuan International Airport of R.O.C., and #TPE is working as usual. We strongly condemn this malicious act and urge netizens not to spread this disinformation.
By traveling to Taiwan, we honor our commitment to democracy: reaffirming that the freedoms of Taiwan — and all democracies — must be respected.

What kind of message would it send to other leaders of the free world if the Speaker of a major country's legislative branch cancelled an unannounced trip to Taiwan because the PRC has threatened to use force against freedom-loving people on this beautiful island?
No words can truly express my feelings now. @AbeShinzo is not just another Prime Minister of Japan. He is one of the most consequential leader of this era and a true friend of Taiwan. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones, may he rest in peace.

I’m shocked and horrified by the shooting of Former Prime Minister @AbeShinzo. PM Abe is a good friend of Taiwan. The people of Taiwan hope and pray that he pulls through.
