THIS IS MORE THAN 1 MILLION PEOPLE MARCHING! Say no to extradition to China! Proud to be HongKonger! #HongKong
To all those in #HongKong currently fighting for the values you hold most dear, I want to say that #Taiwan has always given our utmost concern & support. Our government is closely watching developments & responding with caution to fully ensure our national security & interests.
China's disregard for the will of Hong Kong’s people proves that “one country, two systems” is not viable. Many things have changed in #HongKong since 1997, but #Taiwan’s commitment to supporting those #HKers who want freedom & democracy has never changed. #StandWithHongKong
Today I asked the Executive Yuan to draw up a humanitarian assistance action plan for #HongKong citizens that lays out clear, complete plans for their residence, placement, employment, & life in #Taiwan as soon as possible.
Disappointed to see Jimmy Lai & other pro-democracy activists arrested, further eroding #HongKong’s freedom of the press, the rule of law, human rights, & democracy. #Taiwan along with democracies around the world will stand with #HKers who fight hard for values we all cherish.
All political parties in #Taiwan strongly condemn China’s decision to bypass #HongKong’s legal process & push for the passage of today’s national security law resolution. Taiwan’s government & people are united in our support for Hong Kong & universal democratic values.

Today I visited Causeway Bay Books in Taipei to welcome Lam Wing-kee on behalf of the people of #Taiwan, & thank the people of #HongKong for their commitment to freedom & democracy. #TaiwanForHongkong
I'm saddened by the news that @joshuawongcf, @chowtingagnes & Ivan Lam have been jailed for their activism. These brave young people are symbols of freedom & democracy in #HongKong, values that we will never stop fighting for.

#Taiwan has suffered at the hands of an authoritarian regime & media persecution in the past. Because of this experience, we know the value of defending freedom & human rights, and support the people of #HongKong in striving for a society that upholds these ideals.

Defending democracy is vital, but @KingJames only talks loud in the US. On China, not only is he silent, he actively shuts others up. He called @dmorey "misinformed" and "not really educated" for supporting #HongKong. All he cares about is money, not human rights. Hypocritical. twitter.com/latimes/status…
Utterly saddened to see the images of #HongKong police firing rubber bullets at protesters. To the people of Hong Kong: you may feel your demands for freedom seem to fall on deaf ears, please know that all like-minded friends in #Taiwan & around the world are standing with you.

今、私の方では野党議員中心に呼びかけてます。政党や会派に縛られず、1人の日本の国会議員として、世界と連帯し、基本的人権の尊重と法の支配という普遍の価値を守ろう。 #HongKong
I’m deeply saddened by the forced shutdown of #AppleDailyHK. But despite this setback, I want to tell the people of #HongKong that #Taiwan will always stand with you in your struggle for freedom. Your dreams of democracy are the seeds of a better future for Hong Kong & the world.
Before the elections, I said that #Taiwan would come together to defend our freedom & democracy. Over the past 6 months, #HongKong has shown us how precious that commitment is. I hope the people of Hong Kong take heart in the message our elections have sent to the world.
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.
This morning more than 50 democratic activists were arrested, in the latest blow to freedom in #HongKong. #Taiwan will continue to resolutely support a free Hong Kong & stand up for our shared democratic values.

①香港への国家安全法導入が採択されたけれど、これで終わりではない。野党の国会議員22名から連帯の意思表明を頂いた。自民党からは58名と伺ったので、あわせて80名の日本の国会議員が、新たに香港市民を支える世界中の国会議員の連帯に加わっている。 #HongKong news.yahoo.co.jp/pickup/6360962…

約束された一国二制度を実質的に破棄し、香港の自治を蹂躙するような中国政府の振る舞いに強く抗議します。これを許したら、法の支配と民主主義の定義が変質してしまう。 日本の国会議員も、もっと声をあげよう。 #HongKong #香港 twitter.com/chowtingagnes/…

I welcome the US government’s decision to sanction 11 Chinese and HK officials, who are responsible for the human rights violation in HK. I hope more countries can work together and hold these tyrannical leaders to account. Democracy and autonomy NOW! #HongKong #Sanctions
The people of #Taiwan have long empathised with the plight of people in #HongKong, & we’re taking substantive action to assist & protect those in need. Our Taiwan-Hong Kong Office for Exchanges & Services is dedicated to helping #HKers transition to a new life here in Taiwan.
We stand with all freedom-loving people of #HongKong. In their faces, we see the longing for freedom, & are reminded that #Taiwan’s hard-earned democracy must be guarded & renewed by every generation. As long as I’m President, “one country, two systems” will never be an option. twitter.com/BBCWorld/statu…
𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 @RoOT_film, a film documenting the democracy movement in #HongKong, is now showing in #Taiwan. The Hong Kong people’s courage & commitment to democracy are an inspiration to us all, as we work to preserve our own freedoms & way of life.

The white vans of the police ran INTO the protesting crowd and caused a stampeding accident which led to numerous injuries. That was not a dispersing strategy: that’s purely vengeful assault. #HongKong #PoliceBruality
