Today, I join the 23 million people of #Taiwan in celebrating our 107th National Day. It’s a day to recognize our accomplishments over the past year & reaffirm the values that have led Taiwan to become a model Asian democracy youtu.be/roUmlbacFD4 #DoubleTen #TaiwanTogether
#CrossStrait: “I will not be provoked into confrontation or conflicts that endanger cross-strait relations, nor will I deviate from the will of the people & sacrifice Taiwan's sovereignty.” bit.ly/2IQ6T3a #DoubleTen
#Defense: “As long as I am president, our national defense budget will grow steadily every year. Our lean & combat-ready troops absolutely have the ability to defend the sovereignty of the Republic of China." bit.ly/2IQ6T3a #DoubleTen
#DefendingDemocracy: “We are determined to defend the values of Taiwan's diverse democracy. If another country takes advantage of our... freedom to infiltrate society & create chaos, we... will take any and all preventive measures necessary.” bit.ly/2IQ6T3a #DoubleTen
#NationalSecurity: “I have consistently insisted on protecting the free & democratic way of life of our 23 million people, defending the sustainable development of the ROC & maintaining cross-strait peace & regional stability.” bit.ly/2IQ6T3a #DoubleTen
#TransitionalJustice: “We can never turn back from transitional justice... The only way that democracy can make major strides is by clarifying truths & keeping the lessons of the past in mind.” bit.ly/2IQ6T3a #DoubleTen
