The 24-hour Dunnan Eslite was a landmark of Taiwanese bookstore culture, & I speak for all book lovers in #Taiwan when I say that it will be sorely missed. But I’m sure the Eslite legacy will live on in Taiwan’s vibrant culture of freedom, openness, & diversity.

Today I had the opportunity to meet some of our bravest men & women in uniform, our paratroopers. Their courage in the line of duty each day strengthens #Taiwan’s defense capabilities and our ability to provide emergency rescue & relief services.

Around the world, there are 365 days in a year. Yet in China, one of those days is purposely forgotten each year. In Taiwan, there were once days missing from our calendar, but we’ve worked to bring them to light. I hope one day China can say the same.

#NightMarkets & street food are essential parts of daily life in #Taiwan, & they’re also an integral part of our economy. Our "triple stimulus" voucher program & travel subsidy plans will bring people back to their favourite spots to enjoy some fun, good vibes & delicacies.
