China’s government is making a mistake by prohibiting individual travelers from coming to #Taiwan. They are depriving Chinese people of their right to experience our free & democratic lifestyle for themselves, which is the most natural way to improve cross-strait communication.

#IndigenousPeoples’ Day is a very special occasion, a time to celebrate the diversity of #Taiwan society and culture. By embracing our indigenous heritage, we align ourselves with international values, and affirm our relationship with peoples throughout the Indo-Pacific.

Three years of economic reforms helped #Taiwan’s GDP grow by over 2.4% in 2019 Q2, highest among the 4 Asian Tigers. Economic restructuring, industrial innovation, & investments by returning local firms have given Taiwan a leg up in the regional economic race.

Up, up, and away! Taitung’s International Balloon Festival is one of Eastern Taiwan’s biggest summer attractions, & this year I had the opportunity to see the spectacle for myself. Exciting events like this are just one of the many reasons #Taiwan tourism continues to flourish.

I’m amazed at the skills our young people have developed, & these contestants are ready to bring back a bevy of medals from @WorldSkillsKZN. #Taiwan’s vocational training programs are world renowned, & a source of soft power that we readily share with allies & #SEA neighbors.

#Taiwan embraces diversity, but our success depends on unity. Whether it’s a baseball team or a flyover squadron, we blend individual talents to pursue common goals. That spirit drives all our national teams, as everyone will see when #TeamTaiwan gets to the 2020 Tokyo @Olympics.

It’s been a banner year for Taiwan’s athletes so far, & Cheng Chao-tsun’s 87.75m javelin throw at the #BirminghamDL 🇬🇧 yesterday makes him the first Taiwanese athlete ever to win 🥇 at a @Diamond_League competition. Go #Taiwan! twitter.com/Diamond_League…
