I was honoured to commemorate the 1979 Kaohsiung Incident with some of #Taiwan’s most courageous freedom fighters. We remember the victims’ sacrifices, & their willingness to face imprisonment & persecution to fight for democracy & the freedoms we enjoy today.
627
I had a very productive meeting with @CommerceGov Assistant Secretary Ian Steff, where we discussed the importance of strong #Taiwan-#US trade in building a prosperous region. Our administration will continue working to make Taiwan a prime investment destination & trade partner.
628
On #HumanRightsDay, we thank those who sacrificed themselves for the freedoms we enjoy today & renew our own commitment to achieving a fairer, more just world for all. This day holds profound meaning for #Taiwan as we reflect on the path we have walked over the past 40 years.

Few people have advocated more strongly for democracy in #Taiwan than @NEDemocracy President Carl Gershman. It was an honour to confer the Order of Brilliant Star with Grand Cordon today & thank him once again for his many years of friendship.

Plenty of food 🥘 for thought 🧠 in this tasty tidbit from my interview with @ACichowicz of @NDRpresse.
Let’s be crystal clear 💎 — In this #RepublicOfCitizens 👫, cyberspace freedom rules 🆗.
#Taiwan 🇹🇼 is a perfect example that #HomoSapiens is fit for digital democracy 🗽.

Delighted to welcome @Republic_Nauru 🇳🇷 President Lionel Aingimea to #Taiwan for his state visit. Since taking office, he has been a staunch friend to our country, & I look forward to discussing how to further deepen our partnership.

This week marked another milestone, as annual tourist visits reached a new all-time high. As President, I have the privilege of sharing #Taiwan’s beauty, warmth, & cultural diversity with the world. I’m grateful to each person who comes to experience our country for themselves.

Disappointed to see Chinese censorship attempting to encroach on #Taiwan’s creative freedoms once again. Creative freedom is part of what makes democracy so vibrant, & no one should be subject to intimidation for exercising their freedom of speech.
636
Taiwanese society is a tapestry woven from countless cultures, & that diversity is one of our greatest strengths. For more than 3 years, we have worked to better support naturalized citizens from around the world, because they are an irreplaceable part of #Taiwan. #LetsWin2020

A strong leader needs a clear vision, a concrete policy plan, & the determination to see it through. At our first pre-election policy address, I outlined our administration’s efforts over the past 3 years & our vision for #Taiwan’s future. #LetsWin2020 #TaiwanElection

Nas & Alyne travel the world sharing unique stories with millions of people, & it was a pleasure to have them spend a night at the Presidential Office. Their videos will help us share #Taiwan’s culture, beauty, & unique history with new friends worldwide. youtu.be/-4Ki0xNSaTk

No words can express my gratitude to VP #ChenChienjen for his many years of selfless service to #Taiwan. In this video, he shares some thoughts about what we’ve accomplished thus far, & how we can determine our own future by making the right choices. ▶️bit.ly/39dBS5J

#Taiwan is a key player in the world economy, with forward-looking policies to keep us ahead of the curve during the ongoing global economic restructuring. Our economy has made considerable progress over the past 3 years, & I’m confident we can achieve even more over the next 4.

#Taiwan’s No. 4 global ranking in the latest Profit Opportunity Recommendation report by US-based BERI SA shows why so many cutting-edge multinational firms & domestic companies are bullish on Taiwan's economic future & increasing their investments here. twitter.com/MOFA_Taiwan/st…

#Taiwan needs a leader who can bring the people together & stand strong against emerging challenges. When it comes to our nation’s sovereignty, I will never back down. #LetsWin2020
644
As 2019 comes to a close, I look forward to what 2020 will bring for #Taiwan & our like-minded friends around the world. Wishing everyone a happy New Year!
645
Democracies around the world are working to prevent infiltration from China, & today #Taiwan joined in this effort by passing an anti-infiltration act to defend our democracy. Here on the front lines, we are taking all necessary measures to protect our values & way of life.
646
In 2020, we are going to ensure more people are cared for, keep improving our economy, & continue strengthening our sovereignty, freedom, & democracy. Together we can ensure that the light of democracy & freedom once again shines on #Taiwan & the entire world.
647
The excitement & enthusiasm I met on the campaign trail today were truly touching. We all know that the stakes are high, so as we head down the final stretch, let's come together & elect the kind of government that can lead #Taiwan forward. #LetsWin2020
648
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
649
In light of current conditions in the Middle East, I have instructed government agencies to closely monitor Taiwan’s stock & foreign exchange markets, energy supply, the safety of overseas citizens, & security dynamics in the #Taiwan Strait.

Our votes have power. The power to show us the road to a brighter future & to give us the strength to stand tall as we walk that road. In two days, we must come together for #Taiwan, to safeguard this free & beautiful land that we love. #LetsWin2020
