2 weeks from today, the people of Taiwan will head to the polls for crucial referendums that will define Taiwan in the years to come. Let's send a clear message that Taiwan is a reliable trading partner at the ballot box.

It's unacceptable that China's coercive economic measures continue to go unchecked. Like-minded countries must develop a multilateral framework to push back against economic coercion and support economies that are being targeted by authoritarian regimes.

Lithuanian exporters have reported they cannot clear their goods in Chinese ports after the country was apparently dropped from China's customs registry

"She continues to articulate, and to demonstrate through her own style of leadership, how Taiwan’s values are distinct from those of its giant neighbour. Her leadership offers a lesson for all of us: how to respect Chinese interests without selling out our own."
Unlike so many of the world’s political and business leaders who self-censor at the first hint of displeasure from Beijing, @iingwen does not buckle in the face of intimidation, says @TheCarrieGracie about Taiwan president Tsai Ing-Wen #FTWomen2021ft.com/womenof2021
Felicidades a @XiomaraCastroZ por haber sido electa Presidenta de Honduras. Espero trabajar juntas por el bienestar de nuestros pueblos y la profundización del tradicional vínculo que siempre ha unido a #Taiwán y #Honduras.
I commend the @WTA leadership for taking a stand in expressing concerns for Peng Shuai.
China is going to push back hard on this, it's important like-minded countries continue to speak up & stand strong behind WTA and the entire tennis community.
🇹🇼✈️ Happy 101st Birthday to #Taiwan Air Force! Thank you to all of the airmen and women for working tirelessly to protect our country, defend our freedom, and keep us safe.

The new Omicron variant is a remainder that the pandemic finish line is not yet in sight, we don’t have the luxury to let our guard down. Public & private sectors must work together to ensure global equitable access to COVID vaccines & therapeutics.
WEAR A MASK, WASH YOUR HANDS
This week, we passed the bill authorising the govt. to draft a special budget of up to NT$240 billion for arms purchase over the next 5 years. 64% of the budget will go to anti-ship capabilities, bolstering Taiwan's asymmetric defence posture.
Excluding Taiwan from #INTERPOL creates loopholes in int'l security & puts innocent lives at risk. e.g. Taiwan is currently denied access to I-24/7; as a result, we're not allowed to view or issue #RedNotice for fugitives. This isn't about politics, it's about saving lives.
On Monday, Nov. 22 @State_E will lead the second U.S.-Taiwan Economic Prosperity Partnership Dialogue. We look forward to advancing cooperation on a broad range of economic issues and forging closer economic and commercial ties between the U.S. and Taiwan. go.usa.gov/xe5zn
My message to all freedom supporters watching this today is:
We are stronger together.
We must all #StandWithTaiwan,
support Taiwan, and defend democracy.
We must keep Taiwan free and safe.
Taiwan belongs to the TAIWANESE people!

“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.
#FreeTibet#FreeUyghurs#FreeHongKong#StandWithTaiwan
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.
