Back to back meetings today with over a dozen members of Congress, including @RepBurgessOwens, @RepJohnCurtis, @RepScottPerry, @RepTiffany, @RepMarkTakano, @YoungKimCA, @RepRoKhanna, and @tedlieu. The conversations were rich and constructive. Thanks everyone for your time!

Making a stop in Los Angeles on my way to Honduras. It’s a pleasure to be here. Looking forward to meetings with old and new friends during this short stay in the US.
53
At the invitation of Honduras, Taiwan will be attending the upcoming presidential inauguration. President Tsai has asked me to represent our country. Looking forward to this opportunity to make our friendship stronger. 🇹🇼 🇭🇳
54
Taiwan is called Taiwan. Recognizing this fact should not be controversial. Much less used as an excuse to punish a sovereign democracy like Lithuania. Totalitarian behavior cannot become normalized in international trade and diplomacy.
55
I know that in 2022 our challenges are still here. But I also know we are much stronger this year. Happy new year to everyone!
56
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.
57
台湾と日本は、民主が暗闇を照らすと信じています。安倍元総理が、台湾の国際組織への加盟を支持して下さったことに感謝いたします。私たち両国の命運は緊密に結び付いています。共にインド太平洋の平和と経済的繁栄を守って行きましょう。
58
In spite of the Ortega regime’s unfortunate decision, Taiwan will always stand with the Nicaraguan people. The defense of democracy is the mission that brings us together.
59
A pesar de la desafortunada decisión del régimen Ortega, la amistad entre Taiwán y el pueblo Nicaragüense seguirá siempre vigente. La defensa de la democracia es la misión que nos une.
60
It's time to stop excluding Taiwan from the WHO and other international bodies.
"We are no longer in 1964. The context has changed. The Taiwanese government is not claiming to represent China. There is no debate on this subject."
Merci @FdeRugy #AssembleeNationale 🇫🇷🇹🇼

When elected representatives come to Taiwan they are standing up for democracy and discouraging aggression against the Taiwanese people. Glad to welcome a bipartisan delegation from the U.S. Congress, we look forward to many more such visits.
62
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.
63
Taiwan and our friends in Europe are not fearful. We have work to do.
64
The UN is big enough to make space for Taiwan.
65
Today's positive European Parliament vote on recommendations to deepen ties with Taiwan shows strong common interests and a high level of trust between our peoples. Values and economy can and must go hand in hand. Let's make it happen.
66
The road has never been easy for our country, but the Taiwanese people have never been discouraged. Democracy, sovereignty and freedom are the values we celebrate today on National Day 🇹🇼
67
Many thanks to Quad and AUKUS members and all peace loving nations working hard to stabilize the Indo-Pacific region. Without peace there can be no democracy, and without democracy there can be no true prosperity.
68
There aren’t enough warplanes in the world to make Taiwanese people stop loving our country. Tonight we marked the beginning of our National Day (10/10) celebrations.
69
岸田さんが首相に就任されたこと、心よりお祝い申し上げます。きっと日本を新たな時代に導いて行かれるものと信じています。共に新型コロナに立ち向かい、アジアの平和と安定のために努力していけるよう、台湾から願っています。
70
台湾がCPTPPに加盟する目的は、公平な貿易を実現するためであり、そこに政治的な干渉があってはなりません。私たちは地域経済の発展のために、積極的に貢献して参ります。
71
Taiwan welcomes #AUKUS as a positive development for democracy, peace, and prosperity in the region.
72
Today Taiwan 🇹🇼 received a donation of 400k vaccine doses, this time from Poland 🇵🇱. Previous donations came from Lithuania 🇱🇹, Czechia 🇨🇿, and Slovakia 🇸🇰. We are grateful to our EU partners 🇪🇺. We can do big things together.
73
We are a sovereign and independent country. We cooperate closely with countries that share our values to protect peace in the region. But we are not empty handed, we are prepared to defend ourselves if necessary.
74
Stronger ties between Taiwan 🇹🇼 and Lithuania 🇱🇹, and the rest of the EU 🇪🇺, are a positive development for stability and peace. Being pro-Taiwan isn’t being anti-China. This isn’t a zero sum game.
75
Today we celebrate Taiwan #IndigenousPeoplesDay, remembering 8/1/94 when the Constitution was changed to recognize the indigenous status of native Taiwanese, after a long struggle by Indigenous Peoples. We are proud of our country’s history, diversity, and identity.
Vice President of Taiwan R.O.C., Chairperson of Democratic Progressive Party.
