Some said it was impossible, but today I witnessed the inauguration of #Formosa1, #Taiwan’s first wind farm, a testament to the efforts of all our foreign & domestic partners. I'm grateful to my colleagues in government who were determined to turn the dream into a reality.
Congratulations to Team #Taiwan on another brilliant victory over #Korea last night! Each game brings us closer to #Tokyo2020 & our fans are cheering them on every step of the way.
Law enforcement exists to protect the people & government exists to serve the people. I call on the international community to take action & #StandWithHongKong against these acts of repression. Full statement:
It was truly inspiring to meet with professional women to honour Doctor’s Day. We shared our successes, sorrows, & stories, and encouraged each other to keep breaking boundaries so that together, we can build a brighter tomorrow for #Taiwan.

Hardworking students, dedicated teachers, & supportive policies make up the formula for academic success. These international math & science Olympiad winners brought home an outstanding 14🥇, 14🥈, & 13🥉, and we look forward to hosting the 2020 Asian Physics Olympiad in #Taiwan.
My campaign headquarters announcement included three special VIPs who were very excited to be in front of the camera. It’s safe to say Bella, Bunny, & Maru steal the show wherever they go! #LetsWin2020
I am proud to announce Dr. William Ching-te Lai as my running mate for the 2020 presidential election. I am confident that as Vice President, he will use his experience & love for #Taiwan to help lead our country forward. #LetsWin2020
Thank you to the more than 100,000 supporters who attended the opening of our #Kaohsiung campaign headquarters. They know that to protect our sovereignty & democracy, we need a president with the courage to stand up for #Taiwan & embrace the global community. #LetsWin2020
本日、頼清徳前行政院長を2020年総統選の副総統候補として迎えることを発表しました。頼前行政院長は、副総統として必ずや彼の情熱と経験で、私と共に台湾を前進させることを確信しています。
It was wonderful to meet with Calvin Young & Sabrina Walker as they prepared to Spend a Night @ Taiwan’s Presidential Office Building. I am delighted that they are sharing #Taiwan’s beauty with the deaf community around the world, & I enjoyed learning some sign language as well!
A progressive society not only sees, respects, & embraces differences, it offers those with intellectual disabilities opportunities to achieve their full potential. I want to congratulate all of today’s competitors on an exciting race & for exemplifying the #Taiwan spirit.
Our administration has worked for 3 years to make #Taiwan a better place to do business, & US firms are optimistic about the future. At today’s @AmChamTaipei Annual General Meeting, I laid out the roadmap for our next 20 years of economic prosperity:english.president.gov.tw/NEWS/5918
明年1月11日,你將決定立法院的 113 個席次。 過去三年多來,我們讓台灣更安全、改革更穩健、經濟更亮眼、照顧更周全。我們說到做到,而且我們還想要繼續做、做更多。 2020,用你的一票,守住台灣,守住民主,守住自由,守住改革。用你的一票,讓民主與進步,成為國會的多數! #2020台灣要贏
As #IndoPacific island nations, #Taiwan and #Tuvalu share many common concerns. I was pleased to meet Minister Kofe & his delegation to discuss our many cooperative projects that address issues like climate change, economic development, healthcare, & renewable energy.
We registered our candidacy for the upcoming election at a time when freedom around the world is being challenged like never before. When it comes to #Taiwan’s democracy & sovereignty, we will never compromise,& we will keep working to make our country a better place.#LetsWin2020
Our government program to encourage #Taiwan companies like AcBel to invest at home has been a tremendous success. Over 150 firms have responded, pledging investments that will consolidate our industrial base, provide thousands of job opportunities, & generate economic momentum.
Our Coast Guard works day in & day out to keep everything from illegal narcotics to African Swine Fever from entering #Taiwan. They put their lives on the line for their country each day, & we’re committed to offering them better healthcare to reflect their selfless service.
Larisa Bakurova (瑞莎) spent years working to obtain Taiwanese citizenship, & now she is putting her athletic talents to good use training #Taiwan’s next generation of rhythmic gymnasts. She was even kind enough to teach me some moves!

I was proud to visit #TSMC today, the world's largest contract chipmaker & engine of domestic economic growth. They are dedicated to maintaining global #semiconductor industry leadership through R&D investments & finding green energy solutions to promote sustainable development.
Last year’s elections taught us a lesson. They showed us ways we could do better & be better. A year later, our administration and our party have made many changes to better serve the people. But one thing will never change: our commitment to #Taiwan’s sovereignty & freedom.
It was heartening to see so many #HK citizens turn out to vote in the district council elections & make their voices heard. We hope the election results will be respected, & that HK will move forward on the path to democracy. Photo: Billy H.C.Kwok bit.ly/2DeFsxO
It was a pleasure to meet with @RepBillFlores & @GReschenthaler to personally thank them for their staunch support for #Taiwan. In these challenging times, our countries’ shared commitment to free & democratic values is more important than ever.
The Force is with us! William & I have worked together for years, & our campaign photos reflect that partnership. I look forward to sharing them with all of you! #LetsWin2020
