More savage attacks on media outlets daring to report the news—just another day in the #PRC's #HongKong! The erosion of press freedom under the #NationalSecurityLaw is a disgrace & sends a clear message: #Beijing is a true enemy of freedom. JW

After the Ortega regime ordered #Taiwan out of #Nicaragua before #Christmas, we sold the embassy to Managua Archdiocese for $1. This charitable act was our goodwill to the people. But Ortega seized the property & will gift it to the #PRC. This is unlawful & utterly disgusting. JW twitter.com/AP/status/1475…

Super #TyphoonRai caused destruction & heavy casualties in the #Philippines. It ruined #Christmas for many & hit us hard too as we truly care about our #Filipino brothers & sisters. Fortunately, #Taiwan's #ROCAF C-130 flew in supplies quickly. Hang in there, more are coming. JW
