Today and everyday we are inspired by the bravery of our firefighters who put their lives at risk to protect others. My condolences to the 4 firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty.
Since 2016, the DPP administration has made diversification (de-risking) a priority. Compared to the 2008-2015 period, Taiwan's outbound investment to non-PRC region has increased by 96% during 2016-2023 period. At the same time, investment to China has decreased by 44%.
Since Taiwan and the Philippines signed an MoU on disaster relief, we've elevated our partnership to a new level. First responders from both countries gather in Taiwan to train on search & rescue missions. 🇹🇼🇵🇭
In keeping with our promise to make lives easier for working people, the Tsai has administration has raised the minimum wage for 8 consecutive years. We believe Taiwan strives when working people in our country strive.
WATCH: The moment a Chinese coast guard vessel appeared to deliberately close in on a @coastguardph vessel, almost in the act of ramming before pulling back. Al Jazeera was on board the PCG ship, one of 2 escorting supply boats for troops at the 2nd Thomas (Ayungin) Shoal. Our report airs soon.
On this Taiwan’s Armed Forces Day, I want to express my gratitude to the men and women in uniform for their dedication and sacrifice. Thank you for making Taiwan stronger and safer.
On this Journalist Day, I want to thank journalists in Taiwan and around the world who ask hard questions, investigate difficult issues and speak truth to power to hold people like me accountable. Happy Journalist Day!

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.
