Absolute privilege to have @HonTonyAbbott with us in #Taiwan. It's great to break bread with the former prime minister of #Australia. He's a fair dinkum free trader & bold backer of our #CPTPP bid. Thanks for the support & all the best for the @yushanforum keynote, my friend! JW

#Taiwan celebrates Oct. 10 National Day with great confidence, pride & hope for the future. Watch "2021—Taiwan, Bringing People Together" & see why those who love freedom & democracy #StandWithTaiwan🇹🇼. There's strength in unity & no country, not even Taiwan, is truly an island.

Oct. 1 wasn't a good day. The #PLAAF flew 38 warplanes into #Taiwan's ADIZ, making it the largest number of daily sorties on record. Threatening? Of course. It's strange the #PRC doesn't bother faking excuses anymore. JW

Apologies accepted. We appreciate @aidaint's candor & commitment to doing better. One suggestion, though. Please take note of the depth of international support for #Taiwan. All flags🇹🇼 are equal & #Freediving must remain free! twitter.com/iingwen/status…
1064
Thank you to all the national freediving associations who have stood with #Taiwan after our national flag was removed from an AIDA competition broadcast. Your decision to remove your own countries’ flags in solidarity with Taiwan touched the hearts of the Taiwanese people.

More progress in Taiwan-Lithuania ties! Our countries are true believers in the power of global commerce to spur economic development & bring citizens closer together. #Taiwan's🇹🇼 trade & investment tour of #Slovakia🇸🇰, #CzechRepublic🇨🇿 & #Lithuania🇱🇹 will maintain the momentum. twitter.com/ArmonaiteA/sta…

Democracy is under attack. But #Taiwan🇹🇼 stands strong on the front lines of authoritarianism defending the free world's shared values. Watch @FareedZakaria detail the #IslandOfResilience's fight against China's campaign of coercion. Global unity can overcome common threats! twitter.com/FareedZakaria/…
