@hilton_ctwh A more noticeable metric is the amount of young people unable to get on the property ladder and living at home with their parents despite being married.

@hilton_ctwh As someone has already pointed out, digging through trash in Taiwan isn't necessarily an indicator of poverty. It may be, but I've heard many stories of rich but bored people working in 7-11 or collecting recyclables (either for environmental reasons or to collect money).

Taiwan LGBT+ Pride Week is a celebration of how far #Taiwan has come & of all those people who worked so hard to deliver greater freedom & equality. And it is a reminder that our work is never over, as every generation should be able to live as their true selves.

I take #PRIDE in advocating for gender equality & #LGBTQ rights 🌈

I’m proud of my country #Taiwan for being the first in #Asia to have legalized same-sex marriage.

Lots of speculation ahead of a 4pm press conference by #UMT, after they halted trading of their stock on the #Taipei Exchange today. The company supplies ground equipment for low-orbit satellites, including #SpaceX.

Despite the unhashable hashtag, a prize pool of NT$800,000 for a one minute insta story on #Taiwan makes it make sense. Any #filmmakers or influencer interested can head here to find out more: https://t.co/IGR2IqBJVw

Amazing how many of the same-sex couples involved a foreign spouse. I wonder what the drill-down on that was in terms of spouse nationality?

[外交部 Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ROC (Taiwan) 🇹🇼 @MOFA_Taiwan]

As we celebrate #PrideMonth, we remember that marriage equality became law in #Taiwan🇹🇼 in 2019, making us the first Asian country to take this historic step. Today's #TaiwanFactSheet highlights our commitment to equality & the progress that continues to strengthen our society.

Le v.-min. @francois1899 dit à @Challenges que #Taiwan🇹🇼 est un acteur clé des chaînes d'approvisionnement mondiales en puces, produisant 95% des semiconducteurs de pointe. Avec ses capacités & sa résilience, Taiwan est un partenaire indispensable de l'écosystème technologique.

A #KoWenje fan with a side of misogyny, pretension, and pro-PRC sentiment, who is also a mummy's boy, that's what makes a #莮 in #Taiwan!
