PRC Eastern Theater Command just announced exercises in the Taiwan Strait. Lai dialed back his 10/10 speech from his inaugural. So China is validating those who say no matter what Taiwan does, no matter what Lai does, they will escalate. Not a wise policy.

The PLA has launched the “Joint Sword-2024B” 聯合利劍-2024B exercises around Taiwan, once again needlessly ramping up tensions and threatening the safety of everyone in the region. The ostensible “rationale” for the drills was President Lai’s address on Double Ten.

Upon arrival in Prague, former Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen's first stop was to pay tribute at the grave of Václav Havel.

"The United States is seriously concerned by the People’s Liberation Army joint military drills in the Taiwan Strait and around Taiwan. The PRC response with military provocations to a routine annual speech is unwarranted and risks escalation". state.gov/prc-military-d…

The criminalization of democracy in Hong Kong recalls the dark days of Taiwan’s Martial Law era. It is also a reminder that we cannot take freedom for granted. Defending our democracy and our freedom to think, to speak, to vote, & to live, is a duty.

It was an honour to speak at this year's Halifax The Forum. Facing an increasingly complex international landscape, my message to the global democratic community was that we need to be more united than ever to ensure our security & protect our democratic way of life.

Taiwan is Taiwan. It's the greatest disrespect to ask a Taiwanese to participate in any world event not as a Taiwanese but as something he/she doesn't identify with.

The desire for democracy is not confined by oceans or borders. The tyranny that threatens Ukraine today threatens Taiwan tomorrow. Thank you to former President 蔡英文 Tsai Ing-wen for joining us at #CDS2025.

After addressing the Copenhagen Democracy Summit several times virtually, I was delighted to be here in person & to be welcomed by former PM Anders Fogh Rasmussen Rasmussen. In my speech, I emphasized the importance of resilience in safeguarding democracy in #Taiwan & around the world.

Speaking at the University of Cambridge, I shared my thoughts on the challenges facing the world & what #Taiwan is doing to strengthen its resilience & safeguard its democracy. I thoroughly enjoyed engaging with students & faculty on these important topics.

Allowing Taiwan’s participation in the IMF is a win-win for our economy and national security – supporting our economic interests and countering Beijing’s growing global influence. My Taiwan Non-Discrimination Act passed the House this week to give Taiwan a much-needed voice.

I had a great visit to Prague & thank the Czech authorities for their hospitality & ensuring my safety. The CCP’s unlawful activities will NOT intimidate me from voicing Taiwan’s interests in the international community. reuters.com/world/china/cz…
