I want to wish our Muslim friends in #Taiwan and around the world #EidMubarak. This is a time to gather with family & friends, & I hope everyone will enjoy the festival & celebrate in safety.
We wish all Muslims in #Taiwan & around the world a joyous #EidAlFitr. #EidMubarak
Imposing #NationalSecurityLegislation on #HongKong will destroy its freedom & rule of law. #Taiwan will #StandWithHongKong & provide necessary assistance to the people. The way forward is freedom & democratic elections, not ending them.
To all those in #HongKong currently fighting for the values you hold most dear, I want to say that #Taiwan has always given our utmost concern & support. Our government is closely watching developments & responding with caution to fully ensure our national security & interests.
@PauloMartins10 Thank you @PauloMartins10 for congratulating @iingwen on her #Taiwan520 inauguration. The government & people of #Taiwan sincerely appreciate the friendship & support of #Brazil.
Minister Wu shares his insights on #Taiwan's experiences combating #Coronavirus in the essay "Speaking Up" by Monocle Magazine's @andrew_mueller. Learn how #TaiwanCanHelp is not about political mileage, simply doing the right thing. (📸 via @MonocleMag) ➡️bit.ly/2LXTJ6k
@BolsonaroSP @iingwen Thank you @BolsonaroSP for congratulating @iingwen on her #Taiwan520 inauguration & recognizing the country's #Coronavirus-combating credentials. The government & people of #Taiwan sincerely appreciate the friendship & support of #Brazil.
Today I asked the Executive Yuan to draw up a humanitarian assistance action plan for #HongKong citizens that lays out clear, complete plans for their residence, placement, employment, & life in #Taiwan as soon as possible.
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
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
All political parties in #Taiwan strongly condemn China’s decision to bypass #HongKong’s legal process & push for the passage of today’s national security law resolution. Taiwan’s government & people are united in our support for Hong Kong & universal democratic values.

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…
Today I visited Causeway Bay Books in Taipei to welcome Lam Wing-kee on behalf of the people of #Taiwan, & thank the people of #HongKong for their commitment to freedom & democracy. #TaiwanForHongkong
Congratulations @NASA & @SpaceX on the 1st crewed mission into space from the #US in 9 years!

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.

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.
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.
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 ➡️bit.ly/2XYbA2L twitter.com/nadiainitiativ…
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…

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.
