We sincerely thank @SpeakerPelosi for the strong message of #US support. Passage of the #TAIPEI Act is a resounding vote of confidence in #Taiwan & its democracy. The country will keep working with like-minded partners in promoting peace, freedom & #HumanRights across the region. twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/…
#AIT Chairman Moriarty & I agree that #Taiwan’s ability to contain #COVID19 is a testament to our strong democratic system. It also underscores the value we can bring to international organizations by sharing our knowledge, experience, & generosity to benefit humankind.
Greeting my good friends from the #US the #Taiwan way. Remember: to better prevent the spread of #COVID19, say no to a handshake & yes to this friendly gesture. #拱手不握手 Check it out:
This article on @JAMANetwork is spot on. #Taiwan has shown how a society can respond quickly to #COVID19 using timely, accurate & transparent information. Yes! Our democratic way of life means we can safeguard citizens' well-being & ensure #HealthForAll. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…
On this #WorldWildlifeDay, I want to highlight the government agencies & civic groups working to rehabilitate habitats for hundreds of bird species across #Taiwan. Biodiversity is a gift, & we have a duty to protect it. (📷:林務局)

For the past year I've closely followed @PeteButtigieg's historic presidential campaign after @jeffreychngo told me about him. This thread documents his support for #HongKong at every turn. He also cares deeply about #Xinjiang and #Taiwan. twitter.com/jeffreychngo/s…
#PRC officials say they care about our health as if we're blood relatives. But while #Taiwan is dealing with #COVID19 originating from #Wuhan, their cyber warriors are waging war to disrupt our efforts. So this is epidemic fighting with Chinese characteristics. I'm speechless. JW
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.
Right when #Taiwan commemorates Feb 28, 1947 massacre & say no more to authoritarianism, we are saddened to learned about Jimmy Lai’s arrest. @appledaily_hk is a symbol of press & speech freedom in #HongKong & will stand tall despite repeated assaults by evil forces. JW
Wishing for a swift recovery for @Pontifex. The thoughts & prayers of the people of #Taiwan are with you.
Much to chew on in this well-stated story by @Diplomat_APAC on why #Taiwan's democratic strategy is proving more successful than authoritarian #China. #TaiwanCanHelp the @WHO in strengthening global #COVID19-fighting efforts & realize #HealthForAll. thediplomat.com/2020/02/the-co…
I visited our military’s specialist chemical group today to thank them for their role in our continuing fight against #COVID19. Their efforts, equipment, and expertise are impressive, but I’m most grateful for their determination to protect the health of the people of #Taiwan.
Today we passed bipartisan legislation to help #Taiwan better prepare for the impact of #COVID19. Expediting the passage of this bill helps ensure the health & safety of our citizens & keep our economy stable.
It was a pleasure to meet with German Institute Taipei Director Prinz today & thank both #Germany & the #EU for supporting #Taiwan’s international participation. Taiwan-Germany cooperation spans diverse fields, & I look forward to further expanding our ties in the next 4 years.
In the face of #COVID19, #Taiwan is fully committed to utilizing our medical & research strengths to develop both treatment & protection measures. I paid a visit to our National Health Research Institutes to learn more about this research process & thank our frontline personnel.
The winners of the National Biotechnology and Medical Care Quality Awards are placing a spotlight on #Taiwan’s biomedical capabilities, including the innovative R&D and manufacturing experience to contribute to global wellbeing by helping people enjoy healthier, happier lives.
I firmly believe that politics should never override professionalism, particularly in international organizations dedicated to people’s health & wellbeing. #Taiwan is willing and able to contribute to the international community in epidemic prevention & regional prosperity.
It was heartwarming to welcome our old friend @Project2049 Chair Randy Schriver back to #Taiwan & thank him for his staunch support. He has long been instrumental in promoting Taiwan-#US security & defense cooperation, & helping us consolidate our status in the #IndoPacific.
Pleased to meet UN Permanent Representatives #Belize Amb. Young, #Guatemala Amb. Lam Padilla, & #Haiti Amb. Saint-Hilaire & thank them for supporting #Taiwan’s international participation. Politics should never come before people’s health, & #TaiwanCanHelp combat #COVID19.
105 European lawmakers want @WHO to right its #Taiwan wrongs & make the country a #WHA73 observer. We thank our friends from #CzechRepublic, #Lithuania, #Estonia, #Germany, #Netherlands, #Ireland, #Austria, #Slovakia, #Hungary & #Spain. Politics mustn’t jeopardize #HealthForAll. twitter.com/Taiwan_Today/s…
I commend the Philippine government’s decision to lift the #Taiwan travel ban. We have #COVID19 outbreak well under control & the international community has praised our government’s stringent preventive measures, rigorous testing & information transparency. #TaiwanCanHelp
I’m glad the Philippines government lifted its travel ban on #Taiwan. @MOFA_Taiwan thanks all who helped in the process. #Taiwan & the #Philippines are close neighbors & good friends. Diplomacy works. Mabuhay! JW
