From last year’s anti-extradition movement to recent national security law legislation, the deterioration of democracy in #HongKong concerns me & many in #Taiwan. At #CDS2020, I reaffirmed our resolve to stand in solidarity with #HKers who cherish freedom & #DefendDemocracy.

Freedom is not free. It is something we have to work for and defend every day. In #Taiwan we never take our hard-earned freedom for granted, & as we build, renew, & sustain democracy at home, we are supporting democracy in our region & around the world. #CDS2020 #DefendDemocracy

今、台湾の蔡英文総統が、#DefendDemocracy のタグ付きで、「台湾は民主主義を守り抜くパートナーとして米国と共にあることを誇りに思う」という意味深なツイート。香港情勢のみならず、蔡氏と昵懇のテッド・クルーズ上院議員の地元テキサス州が米大統領選の不正糾弾に乗り出したこととも関連ありか。 twitter.com/iingwen/status…

It’s both an honour & a privilege to address the #CDS2020. This event testifies to our commitment to #DefendDemocracy, and our determination to band together in mutual support, safeguard the values we hold dear, & deepen our ties with democracies around the world. twitter.com/AoDemocracies/…

Is it enough to just #DefendDemocracy?🤔
No❗️
We must combat the #Infodemic & #Pandemic by promoting participatory democracy & People-Public-Private Partnerships.🫂
It truly takes #AllHandsOnDeck.🙌

Thank you, @weimers. While #China is still cuddling up to #Russia, #Taiwan is working with the #EU to promote peace, #DefendDemocracy & #StandWithUkraine🇺🇦. The war atrocities teach an important lesson: Forces for good must unite to deter & defeat authoritarianism. JW twitter.com/weimers/status…
