Before claiming to oversee human rights issues around the world, China should address its own severe abuses at home and against foreigners. Innocent Taiwanese citizens are being accused of political crimes, sentenced without due process, and imprisoned. This needs to stop.
102
No country thinking about an alliance of democracies should forget Taiwan. We know China.

The self-determination of the Taiwanese people should not be seen as a danger.
106
The ongoing suppression of dissent and press freedom in Hong Kong must be clearly condemned. Taiwan stands in support of the brave journalists and publishers arrested today, and for the vision of an open and democratic Asia.
107
When authorities select the candidates before the people vote, it is no longer an election. We strongly urge China to respect the rights of Hong Kong citizens, return Hong Kong to Hong Kongers, and stop undermining democratic values in the region.

Today marks the first anniversary since President Tsai and I were elected to serve. Taiwan is beautiful. We hold elections and respect the outcome win or lose. On the front line against totalitarianism, Taiwanese are defending democracy with our lives.

The death of John Cheng and wounding of five others at the Irvine Taiwanese Presbyterian Church in California, saddens all Taiwanese today. We condemn the violence as we pray for the well-being of all survivors.

Freedom of the press is like the air for democracy. I feel quite sad today. The people of Hong Kong are losing Apple Daily but they will not lose their courage. Their dignity and ideals are still there. Taiwan stands with you.

Threats and disinformation are China's tools to interfere in our democracy. But fear did not stop Taiwan from becoming a free country. We welcome recent visits by US Congress and European Parliament, and stand with all international partners for democracy, prosperity, and peace.

Sad at the loss of a senior, a mentor, and a friend. President Lee taught me humility, calm, and endurance. He asked me to let people know what our party stood for, to offer a vision for our country’s future, and to improve the people’s well-being. Thank you Mr Democracy.

Today I met the delegation led by Portuguese Congressman Hon. Paulo Rios de Oliveira, and had an interesting conversation. We can feel the support of Europe. I believe the world is waking up to the challenges posed by authoritarianism everywhere.

In Taiwan we were able to control the virus with careful contact tracing and strict quarantines. But no one is safe until everyone is safe. Let’s stay focused and get through this together as one human family.

Democracy isn't the ideal of only certain countries, it also belongs to Taiwan. Leaders everywhere are concerned with democracy and peace. But we cannot surrender democracy to those who threaten war, the Taiwanese people will not accept it.

With respect to the U.S. election, we naturally don’t take a side. Our only side is Taiwan.

Vice President of Taiwan R.O.C., Chairperson of Democratic Progressive Party.
