#NightMarkets & street food are essential parts of daily life in #Taiwan, & they’re also an integral part of our economy. Our "triple stimulus" voucher program & travel subsidy plans will bring people back to their favourite spots to enjoy some fun, good vibes & delicacies.

Minister Wu gave a sterling #BrusselsForum performance. Highlights included global geopolitical dynamics amid #COVID19, the #TaiwanModel, a call for democracies to forcefully defend shared values, & what makes #Taiwan an ideal partner for the #EU & #US.

We applaud the brave decision of @SenatCZ President @Vystrcil_Milos to visit #Taiwan. Late President Havel's pedigree in fighting for the liberty & dignity of the #CzechRepublic is well inherited & touches our hearts. We're ready to welcome you, Sir! JW

#Taiwan faced great pressure from #Coronavirus. But the government & people weathered the storm. As the dark #COVID19 clouds lift, the country stands ready for the new life of the post-pandemic world. We salute those responsible: the architects & implementers of the #TaiwanModel.

Democracy is in action in #Taiwan again. This time, no matter who the voters supported, the people in #Kaohsiung cast their ballots & made their choice. We're proud to be a democracy. JW

Han Kuo-yu, who's aligned himself with authoritarian China's interest, has been booted as mayor of #Kaohsiung by democratic vote. A great victory for #democracy and a clear message from Taiwanese saying "no" to Xi Jinping and Beijing's influence on #Taiwan.

It was a pleasure to meet with @UKinTaiwan Representative Nettleton today at the Presidential Office to discuss #Taiwan-#UK exchanges on #COVID19 vaccines, the situation in #HongKong, & our commitment to our countries’ shared values.

We mustn't forget what happened 31 years ago today in #TiananmenSquare, #Beijing. The event is commemorated in #Taiwan as a reminder not to let history repeat itself, including in #HongKong. Genuine freedom & democracy are the only way forward for all. twitter.com/iingwen/status…

How can Taiwan help? In #Iraq's Sinjar region, #Taiwan backs @nadiainitiative in reconstructing irrigation systems & coordinating demining efforts. This good work is restoring the agricultural sector & rebuilding at-risk communities. Yes! #TaiwanCanHelp

Today I had the opportunity to meet some of our bravest men & women in uniform, our paratroopers. Their courage in the line of duty each day strengthens #Taiwan’s defense capabilities and our ability to provide emergency rescue & relief services.

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.

Minister Wu, AIT Director Christensen & JTEA Rep. Izumi celebrated the #Taiwan-#US-#Japan #GCTF's 5th anniversary with friends from like-minded #IndoPacific partners. We look forward to sharing more of the country's experiences with other democracies via the cooperation platform.

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.

Congratulations @NASA & @SpaceX on the 1st crewed mission into space from the #US in 9 years!

Great new cover. After the national-security law in #HongKong, Beijing's next target is #Taiwan (although much stronger than the tiny dot suggests). With the global community turning its attention to us, I urge everyone to not forget about the beautiful, democratic island. twitter.com/TheEconomist/s…

The decision to impose #NationalSecurityLegislation on #HongKong by the #NPC shatters #China's solemn promise in 1997 to respect #HK's autonomy & freedoms. Now is the time for democracies to #StandWithHongKong! #Taiwan will be ready to offer necessary humanitarian assistance. JW

Very glad to be interviewed by @FoxNews for the 3rd time! Thank you, @marthamaccallum. #Taiwan supports freedom & democracy in #HongKong, & the people will #StandWithHongKong in defense of these values. JW
