China’s military provocations along the First Island Chain severely disrupt global maritime trade, air traffic & regional peace. #Taiwan continues to act responsibly, neither escalating tensions nor yielding to threats — we will steadfastly defend our freedom against coercion.
Recent Chinese military provocations near Japan & across the region have escalated tensions & highlight the urgency of increased investments in defense. We stand together with democratic partners in opposing these actions & remain resolute in our determination to safeguard peace.
Happy to address fellow nephrologists at the Asian Pacific Congress of Nephrology today in #Taiwan. From treatment to prevention, integrated care to early screening, Taiwan is advancing in the fight against kidney disease & will keep sharing its experience for global health.
