I want to thank our allies & like-minded friends from around the world for courageously speaking up for the necessity of #Taiwan’s participation in the @WHO. Disease knows no borders, & we must be able to freely share information to stop the spread of #2019nCoV.

Our sincere thanks to @michaelgahler, chair of the European Parliament-Taiwan Friendship Group, & his fellow MEPs for stating the country’s @WHO case in a letter to @DrTedros. Yes! #Taiwan is Taiwan & must hold observer status in the @UN specialized agency. (📸 via @Europarl_EN)

The best technology helps bridge the gap between people & policies. #Taiwan is a leader in developing smart city solutions, & I cannot think of a better place to host the 2020 @Newcommunities Forum than #Taoyuan City, winner of 2019 Intelligent Community of the Year.

For the 2nd day, #PLAAF combat aircraft flew close to #Taiwan. @iingwen urged Beijing to deal with the #Wuhan virus, not threaten the country militarily. Listen, H-6 bombers are useless against #Coronavirus. JW

Over the past weeks, our armed forces have been working on the front lines to prevent the spread of #coronavirus. From helping manufacture face masks to disinfecting ships & aircraft, our men & women in uniform are working around the clock to keep #Taiwan safe.

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

105 European lawmakers want @WHO to right its #Taiwan wrongs & make the country a #WHA73 observer.

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.

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.
714
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.
715
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.

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…

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.

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…
