🇹🇼 #Taiwan is combating #Coronavirus & managing the #COVID19 pandemic. 💡 Digital Social Innovation is key! 🚀 It’s fast, open, fair & fun. 🙌 Most importantly, it needs #AllHandsOnDeck. 🕔 Take 5 with me & get up to speed. 💻 Visit TaiwanCanHelp.us & learn much more.
We in #Taiwan are committed to the values of democracy, freedom & human rights. No matter the situation, Taiwan will continue to stand in solidarity with our fellow democracies around the world & with all who share our hope for a more peaceful & inclusive world.
Our men & women in uniform are committed to protecting #Taiwan. And this is my response to the #PRC military threat:
Today is #Taiwan’s Freedom of Speech Day. We remember those who sacrificed so much to bring us the democracy we enjoy today. And we honour their memories by carrying on their work to protect our freedom of speech, the foundation of Taiwan’s dynamic society.
It was a privilege to be able to share Taiwan’s perspective on regional issues & acknowledge the flourishing #Taiwan-#Australia partnership with @ASPI_org. You can read my remarks to the Indo-Pacific Leaders Dialogue here:
With the dawn of a new space age, our National Space Organization is ensuring that #Taiwan plays an integral role in the global space industry. The successful launches of our FORMOSAT satellites make me excited & optimistic about the future of space technology in Taiwan.
We look forward to resuming talks with the US tomorrow under our Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA). This marks important progress for #Taiwan-#US economic relations, & signals our shared resolve in the face of regional & global challenges.
Proud that TSMC founder Morris Chang will return to serve as #Taiwan's APEC envoy this year. Your record of leadership & expertise in industry & trade will benefit the whole region, as we work with our APEC partners to secure medical & economic relief from the pandemic.
I see the potential for greater economic cooperation in the post-#COVID19 era & #Taiwan is a strong, reliable partner. Like-minded democracies around the world need to work together to establish new, diverse, & resilient supply chains, with Taiwan as a key link. #InvestTaiwan
People from all walks of life have contributed to our #COVID19 response. Today I thanked the Taiwan Machine Tool & Accessory Builders' Association for their hard work ramping up our face mask production. #Taiwan is now a leading face mask producer & the world has taken notice!
Today, on #InternationalGuideDogDay, I want to give a special thanks to all the guide dogs supporting people with blindness or low vision in #Taiwan & around the world. I’m proud to have three retired guide dogs in my life: Bella, Bunny & Maru.
I want to welcome the @Europarl_EN's INGE delegation to #Taiwan & look forward to constructive discussions with all its members on addressing disinformation & defending democracy.

⚕ As long as #Taiwan remains safe, I would love to donate my uncollected masks to those in need, with priority given to front-line medical personnel. 在不影響防疫準備的情形下,我很願意以個人未領取的口罩響應 @MOFA_Taiwan 的人道援助,幫助需要的國際夥伴、優先提供給他們的醫護人員。 twitter.com/qianyuzai/stat…
As commander-in-chief, I could not be more proud of our military. They are always at the ready, showing their dedication to defending #Taiwan. So please join me in showing your support for our heroes in uniform.
As part of our comprehensive & collaborative fight against #COVID19, representatives from #Taiwan’s @SinicaFans & the #Czech Republic’s @Akademie_ved_CR came together to discuss prevention & rapid testing cooperation, & the pandemic’s psychological, social, & economic impacts.
Each year, the anniversary of the 228 Incident reminds us of our responsibility to realize transitional justice. We will continue to release previously classified files & the results of our investigations, so that we can begin to heal the historical scars from #Taiwan’s past.
It was a pleasure to talk with @USAmbUN Kelly Craft earlier today. #Taiwan appreciates your staunch support for our international participation, & your recognition of the many ways the #TaiwanModel can help the world. Hope to see you here soon!
Today I had the pleasure of meeting another group of #Taiwan’s Olympians & star athletes. Thank you all for sharing your valuable experiences & for making our country proud every time you compete.
Thank you to @RepMarkTakano, @RepSlotkin, @RepColinAllred, @SaraJacobsCA, & @RepNancyMace. Your delegation’s visit to #Taiwan & your support strengthens my conviction that our democratic partnership will continue to be a key force for good in the region & world.
Thank you for the recognition, but #Taiwan’s successful #COVID19 response was a team effort. The incredible dedication of our people meant we were able to live our lives as normal & continue to thrive. twitter.com/Forbes/status/…
Today I got my booster shot & I encourage everyone eligible to do the same. Boosters are available to adults in #Taiwan who received their second COVID vaccine shot at least 12 weeks ago. Book here: 1922.gov.tw
In my New Year's address I reaffirmed #Taiwan's support for democracy in #HongKong, as well as our commitment to peace & stability in the Indo-Pacific. We will continue to speak up for human rights & democracy, no matter the pressures we face.
#Taiwan and #Japan are neighbours, friends, and partners for a more free & open region. Whenever we face natural disasters, they are always there for us. So today, on the 8th anniversary of the 311 Eastern Japan Earthquake, I reaffirm this precious friendship & partnership.
As we prepare to celebrate the #LunarNewYear, I want to thank everyone in #Taiwan for all their hard work & contributions to our country. Let's keep working together to make this Year of the Tiger one to remember!
This year's 🇹🇼National Day projection mapping show is a tribute to life in #Taiwan, showcasing the cultures & memories of those who call it home. We're proud to have the Presidential Office building lit up with their stories.
