To all celebrating in #Taiwan & around the world, have a very Merry Christmas & take care to stay warm!
I was proud to attend the launch ceremony today for #Taiwan’s first domestically developed 4,000-tonne offshore patrol vessel. This gives our Coast Guard an advanced, fully equipped frigate that will help protect the nation & provide humanitarian assistance on the high seas.
Have you ever tried stinky tofu—one of #Taiwan’s most iconic taste treats? My visit to Shengkeng Old Street (深坑老街) gave me a chance to savor this local favorite, enjoy the traditional architecture, & help revitalize Taiwan’s economy. Share your #StinkyTofu experience with me!
After 3 long years, I had the pleasure of reuniting with our overseas #Taiwanese community & our #US friends in New York to share #Taiwan’s achievements during this time.
Just back from the US, I am delighted to see Chairman @RepMcCaul of the @HouseForeignGOP & his US Congressional delegation. We are grateful for their support, & we look forward to building ever stronger #Taiwan-#US ties to defend our shared values of freedom & democracy.
Every year on 🇹🇼 National Day, we honour our beloved country & people, people whose concerted efforts mean that we're able to gather & celebrate together in 2020, just as we do every year. The whole world can see that #Taiwan finds strength in unity. ⭐ Join us on Oct.10
Wishing you all a happy #MidAutumnFestival. I hope that everyone celebrating in #Taiwan & around the world enjoys a meaningful time with their loved ones & stays safe on this family holiday. #추석 #中秋の名月 #中秋快乐 #中秋快樂 #ไหว้พระจันทร์ #TếtTrungThu

[HK asylum seekers could be sent to #China's secret courts] 1. Twelve #HKers, all involved in #hkprotests, were detained by #China’s coast guard today when fleeing to #Taiwan for political asylum. All of them are now detained in #China.
On #BubbleTeaDay🧋today, I want to invite everyone to enjoy a cup of #Taiwan's most famous beverage. We're glad to see people around the world enjoy this special part of our culture, & I welcome you to share your bubble tea experiences with me.
My congratulations to @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris on your inauguration as @POTUS & @VP. We wish you and your administration every success. #Taiwan stands ready to work with you as a global force for good. #BetterTogether
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.
Thank you @SenatCZ President @Vystrcil_Milos & our friends from the #CzechRepublic. You’ve inspired us all in #Taiwan & cemented our partnership. As long as we defend our common values, we will make our nations stronger together. bit.ly/2YPZxWf
I expressed my sincere condolences to the families & comrades of the two marines who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty last week. We mourn their loss, & stand in solidarity with all of our military women & men, dedicated to carrying out our mission to defend #Taiwan.
A warm welcome to the delegation of parliamentarians from #Lithuania 🇱🇹, #Latvia 🇱🇻 & #Estonia 🇪🇪 on your visit to #Taiwan 🇹🇼. We are grateful for your support & excited to explore opportunities for broader cooperation based on our shared values.
Wow, can’t even utter “Taiwan” in the WHO? You should set politics aside in dealing with a pandemic. FYI @WHO, 450+ news reports from 40+ countries so far positively covered #Taiwan’s handling of #COVID19. These reports do not mistake us as part of China & #TaiwanCanHelp.

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…
I want to thank all of you for helping me reach 1.5 million followers! It's been a pleasure sharing my life in #Taiwan with you here on @Twitter. Let me know what you're interested in learning more about, whether it's my pets, tasty Taiwanese cuisine, or our delicious fruit 🍍.
The 24-hour Dunnan Eslite was a landmark of Taiwanese bookstore culture, & I speak for all book lovers in #Taiwan when I say that it will be sorely missed. But I’m sure the Eslite legacy will live on in Taiwan’s vibrant culture of freedom, openness, & diversity.
Happy #LunarNewYear to everyone in #Taiwan & around the world! I know my pets are looking forward to welcoming the New Year with a festive dinner tonight, & I hope that you too can enjoy quality time with your loved ones, wherever you may be. #牛轉乾坤
Along with everyone in #Taiwan, we stand with the exceptional men & women serving in our Air Force who ensure the security & sovereignty of our country 24/7/365. Your dedication to protecting our freedom & democracy is an inspiration to us all.
Today is our 🇹🇼 National Day, a time to look back on everything our country has achieved over the last year & show our appreciation for the people of #Taiwan. I'll link to the live stream of our annual celebration starting from 8:50 (Taipei time), with my address at 10:25.
Beijing’s new 26 measures are part of a greater effort to force a “one country, two systems” model on #Taiwan. I want to be very clear: China’s attempts to influence our elections & push us to accept “one country, two systems” will never succeed.
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.
#Taiwan is home to some of the world's finest tea. We welcome you to take in Taiwan’s tea culture, from tea leaf to tea cup. #TaiwanIsOpen
In 4 days, the people of #Taiwan will come together to send a message to the world that we choose freedom & democracy. We choose to stand strong against coercion. We choose a future where our children can speak their minds & follow their dreams. #LetsWin2020
