The letter by 44 scholars & retired officials who #SpeakUpforTaiwan is testament to global solidarity for #democracy. I thank them, & many like-minded people around the world, as when we guard our shared values together, #Taiwan will never be alone: goo.gl/Z6qC6b.
What do you say about #American #democracy?
At a time when anti-democratic forces are on the rise, I know I can count on those excellent servicemen & women who serve with honour, commitment, and professionalism. Together, we will ensure that #Taiwan remains a beacon of #democracy & freedom in the 21st century.
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.

This morning, the Dominican Republic switched diplomatic recognition from #Taiwan to #China. In light of this, I want to make clear: We will continue to safeguard our #freedom & #democracy. We will defend our own national interests. We will never bow to pressure from Beijing
Last Friday, I was proud to see our Navy & Air Force successfully perform the drills in eastern #Taiwan. We have every confidence and determination to defend our country & #democracy!
On Sunday, I joined thousands in marching for a nuclear-free homeland. In #Taiwan, #democracy means we are free to come together & call for change. That’s why as long as I’m president, “one country, two systems” will never be an option for Taiwan. Our march will continue on.

Thank you @SenJeffMerkley for supporting #HongKongHumanRightsAndDemocracyAct and making several amendments to perfect the bill which bans the US exporting crowd-control weapons to @hkpoliceforce ‼️ We will keep fighting for #democracy and #freedom 💪🏻 #StandWithHongKong
Chen Ding-nan holds a special place in #Taiwan history. Today I spoke about his contributions to #democracy, clean government & environmental protection. Well known for his honesty, diligence and love for our native land, he was a #hero to many, and a shining example for us all.
As Commander-in-Chief, I’m proud to see so many fine young officers graduate from the ROC Military Academy. Starting today, they begin a life of service like no other. They will protect the country & ensure our hard-earned #democracy will continue to survive & thrive!

This is how #democracy is represented in the US Congress.
Today #China led #BurkinaFaso to sever diplomatic relations w/ #Taiwan. It will only bring Taiwan closer to countries that share our values: #democracy & #freedom. It will only strengthen our resolve to look towards the world, rather than across the Strait bit.ly/2KT1IiK

Today we commemorate the lives that perished during the 228 Incident 71 yrs ago. Only when we reconcile w/ the past, can we move forward together. Soon we’ll launch a Transitional Justice Promotion Committee & tell the world #Taiwan’s stories of pursuing #democracy & #HumanRights

Shocked at these two videos. Special forces with loaded guns outside containers cramped with refugees! This is what's happening in a "#democracy". How sarcastic! Refugees are human beings, and shouldn't be treated like canned sardines.

The right to define #democracy should not be monopolized by the #US & its allies. A key criterion is whether the country can meet people's expectations.
Thank you, @NEDemocracy & @freedomhouse, for your gift “The Goddess of Democracy”. Your recognition of #Taiwan’s successful democratic story once again shows that the people of Taiwan are not alone in our pursuit of freedom & #democracy. #JFDS2019 twitter.com/NEDemocracy/st…

With 800,000+ lives lost to #COVID by far and 120+ deaths from #GunViolence per day, how does the #US lead by example and renew #democracy?

Climate change is a global problem. So do human rights violations. Same as addressing climate problems, we should work together on tackling democratic recession. Democracy is a global issue. What threatens democracy in one place, threatens the idea everywhere. #democracy
The people of #Taiwan pride themselves on their vibrant #democracy and #pressfreedom. I’ll also continue ensuring that all journalists in Taiwan can practice their profession without fear or danger. #IslandOfResilience twitter.com/TheEconomist/s…
I remember the passing of Nylon Deng 29 years ago. Nylon was a freedom fighter & a helmsman in #Taiwan's road to #democracy. We have a duty to finish Nylon's work. Through transitional justice we will begin #reconciliation process to further strengthen our young democracy
