Liebe Freunde,
Deutschland wird jetzt schnell schweres Gerät in die Ukraine liefern. Ich bin froh, dass wir von der @fdpbt unsere Koalitionspartner davon überzeugen konnten.
Today at #CDS2020 I talked about why a democratic #Taiwan has an important role to play in global affairs. We stand on the frontline of the community of democracies, and remain a critical asset in the fight against the #COVID19 pandemic & authoritarian forces worldwide.
U.N. Human Rights Council members today include:
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia
🇵🇰 Pakistan
🇸🇴 Somalia
🇳🇬 Nigeria
🇶🇦 Qatar

I wish I were making this up. I'm not. This is real.
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.
🇹🇼 Felicito a reeleição democrática da Presidente de Taiwan, Sra. Tsai Ing-wen @iingwen .
Terra sensacional que pude visitar em 2018 com excelente educação e nível tecnológico. Além disso, Taiwan tem demonstrado eficiência no combate à pandemia.
1 million Uighur Muslims greet #EidAlFitr locked up in "re-education" camps in China, as #COVID19 continues to spread in prisons.
When I spoke out at the United Nations for these victims, the Chinese representatives started banging on the table and tried to stop me. They failed.
Thank you @SecPompeo for your well wishes. The Taiwan-US partnership is strong & full of promise. I look forward to furthering our friendship based on our many shared values & interests.
Congratulations to Dr. Tsai Ing-wen on the commencement of your second-term as Taiwan’s President. Taiwan’s vibrant democracy is an inspiration to the region and the world. With President Tsai at the helm, our partnership with Taiwan will continue to flourish.
Today, I join a live-stream event hosted by @CSISHealth w/ Taiwan Vice Premier Chen Chi-Mai. @HHSgov appreciates our 20+ year partnership on a variety of issues including SARS, Cancer Research, Dangue Vaccine Research, and Zika test training. @MOFA_Taiwan@MOHW_Taiwan@Taiwan_CDC
Taiwan is producing over 17 million masks per day and has begun exporting PPE to the United States and other countries.
@ChinaPowerCSIS director @BonnieGlaser explains how Taiwan is effectively combating the threat of Covid-19.
1.Why did the @WHO downplay human-to-human transmission?
2.Why did the WHO delay the declaration of a pandemic?
3.What did the WHO team to China find?
4.Why did the WHO change the name of the Wuhan virus?
5.Will the WHO acknowledge Taiwan's role in this “collective battle?”
“Despite the virus’s highly infectious nature and our proximity to its source, we have prevented a major outbreak. As of April 14, we have had fewer than 400 confirmed cases. This success is no coincidence,” writes President of Taiwan Tsai Ing-wen https://t.co/pc6gczcjdv
Taiwan managed to control the pandemic and could offer lessons for Trump if he ever paid attention. In a country of 20 million, they’ve only had six deaths and around 350 cases. People were tested, isolation was strict and people are now back to work. https://t.co/r8NriD04Cu
Powerful ad from #Taiwan in @Nytimes today. Bc/Taiwan is not a @UN member state & bc/Beijing has pressured @WHO to not include Taiwan in deliberations, Taiwan has confronted #COVID alone. Yet applying lessons of SARS, it contained virus & kept schools & businesses open.
I saw this ad today
WHO can help? Maybe not @WHO.
Taiwan's containment of #COVID19 has been exemplary
They sent the US 16 million masks
Thanks #TaiwanCanHelp "We are here to help"
