So proud of Lin Yu Ting for bringing back Taiwan’s second Olympic gold medal this year. The Champion in women’s 57kg boxing, She has overcome hardship to arrive at this point, and her inspiring story is one of persistence, resilience, and strength. 🥇💪❤️

Lin Yu-Ting secured Team Taiwan's first-ever final berth in boxing at the Olympic Games despite unfounded accusations over her gender eligibility. Whatever the outcome in the finals to be held today, Yu-Ting should be celebrated for her dedication as a professional athlete who had to fight battles both inside and outside of the ring. #IStandWithYuTing
This morning, the KMT and the TPP continued to occupy the podium, refusing to adopt a recorded vote, causing Taiwan‘s parliament to regress back to over 30 years ago, resorting to voting by a show of hands. (1/6)
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.
