Enjoyed a productive meeting with a bipartisan delegation of 8 members of the #US Congress led by @RepStephMurphy. I want to thank all the representatives who made the trip for supporting #Taiwan & continuing to demonstrate the strength of our bilateral partnership.

Heartfelt thanks to our colleagues at @Taiwan_CDC & the #CECC for providing timely, accurate info through multiple media platforms to help #Taiwan contain #2019nCoV. Transparency is the best way to protect everyone’s right to health, both at home & internationally.
Thank you to @POTUS & bipartisan lawmakers in the House & Senate for passing an appropriations bill that reaffirms broad US support for Taiwan. This is yet another milestone for the #Taiwan-#US partnership & contributes greatly to our security & prosperity.

Last year #HongKong leader #CarrieLam said she had to bring justice to the murdered Poon Hiu-wing & her family, so she introduced the #ExtraditionLaw; now she asks the Poon family (her mother in cap) to let go, & the suspect, Chan Tong-kai, to surrender to #Taiwan in his own time
