Extending the warmest welcome to our allies who are joining us from afar to witness another milestone in #Taiwan’s democracy. Today, beyond diplomacy, we ventured into the heart of our culture, enjoying the simple pleasure of shrimp fishing. 🎣
Tomorrow, William Lai will become the New Taiwanese President. He will not only face the rising pressure from China, but will also face the opposition dominated congress. Let’s not forget that KMT legislators has been blocking my amendments on bills regarding national security, and has publicly declared that loosening national security regulations is one of their priorities in the next four years.
I’m aware that a picture of me being thrown off the podium during last Friday’s meeting has gone viral. I would like to state that physical clash in this kind of scale has not happened in eight years. Physical clash is the last resort to defend our democracy. We will not allow a pro-China party dominated congress to endanger Taiwan’s relationship with our democratic allies, and our future as a democracy country.
This post is dedicated to the new Tortured Poets section of the Eras Tour (aka Female Rage The Musical!) and everyone who made these memories so magical. To my crew, fellow performers, and band who worked tirelessly in their break to concoct this surprise for you - but mostly for the fans in Paris. I’m so thankful that it was you we got to show this to for the first time because you gave us so much excitement, passion, and love. I’m SO fired up to play this for every crowd on the tour. See you very soon, Stockholm! 🤍
