I recently sat for an interview with @taiwanplusnews@taiwanplusshows for their documentary Taiwan in Transition. In it, I discuss our critical efforts for #Taiwan in the last eight years, including our response to the pandemic, receiving Nancy Pelosi on her visit, building a relationship of trust with TSMC founder Morris Chang 張忠謀, and securing passage of same-sex marriage legislation. The doc will air on multiple platforms through TaiwanPlus. Let me know in the replies what you think.
Delighted to meet again with @BoardChairAIT Laura Rosenberger on her latest visit to Taiwan. We thank you for your dedication to expanding #Taiwan-#US ties & are confident that with your support at AIT, our bilateral partnership has a great future in store.
For eight years, I've had the honour of speaking at the annual Hsieh Nien Fan banquet, & each year, #Taiwan-#US relations are better than the last. With @AmChamTaiwan’s support, I remain optimistic on our progress on trade & taxation agreements, & even broader economic horizons.
Today, 2 Tuo Chiang-class corvettes—the An Chiang & Wan Chiang—were delivered to our Navy. With this full flight of 6 indigenous ships completed ahead of schedule, & more on the way, #Taiwan is showing that it is serious about enhancing indigenous defence & protecting its waters.

As we move toward a brighter future, we must also reckon with our past—scars and all. Today, 77 years after the 228 Incident, we openly discuss the atrocities suffered by those who strove for our freedom & democracy, & reaffirm the necessity of transitional justice.
Good drivers keep their hands on the wheel & eyes on the road. These several years, we’ve driven through challenges, reforms, & the pandemic. We’ve made it this far down the road of democracy, no matter how winding & rough, thanks to the support of the #Taiwanese people.
Now, it’s time I hand the keys to @ChingteLai & @bikhim for the next part of the journey. I have no doubt they are capable & dependable drivers, & that they will make sure we stay on the right path.
As we ring in the new year, I want to thank everyone who stood with #Taiwan in 2023 – a year of many milestones. Here’s to many new & greater firsts in 2024. Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
