No one should face violence for speaking their mind. #Taiwan🇹🇼 strongly condemns #China's transnational repression following the indictment of 5 suspects in an alleged plot to harm a Taiwanese performer critical of the #CCP. Democracies must stand together against intimidation.

Constructive talks on the future of the Indo-Pacific 🇹🇼🇪🇺 Yesterday, I met with Joseph Wu, Secretary-General of Taiwan’s National Security Council (NSC), at the European Parliament. Our meeting focused on a constructive exchange of views on the current situation in the Indo-Pacific and geopolitical developments in the region. Especially at a time of growing international tensions, direct dialogue, mutual understanding, and the exchange of different perspectives are essential. Stability, security, and peace in the Indo-Pacific are also in Europe’s interest. Good policymaking begins with dialogue, listening, and understanding the perspectives of others. This meeting was a valuable contribution to that effort.

Heartfelt thanks to MEP @EnginEroglu_FW for your warm wishes. #Taiwan is a resilient democracy, a force for peace in the Indo-Pacific & a trusted contributor to global prosperity. We will safeguard our values & work with Europe and the world for a better future.
On the occasion of Taiwan’s National Day, I send my warmest greetings to the people of Taiwan! 🇹🇼 Taiwan demonstrates every day how a society can stand up for democracy, freedom, and the rule of law, even under challenging circumstances. These shared values also form the strong foundation of the close partnership between Taiwan and Europe. Just recently, we came together at a reception to mark National Day, which once again reflected the close friendship and bond between Taiwan and the European Union. Today, I wish all the people of Taiwan a cheerful and peaceful National Day! Happy Double Ten Day!

The security of Europe and the Indo-Pacific is interlinked. We welcome the report by MEP @hildevautmans and the clear message that peace and stability in the @Taiwan Strait are a direct European interest.
Replying to @hildevautmans
Over Taiwan en mensenrechten moeten we eveneens duidelijk zijn. We verzetten ons tegen elke poging om de status quo in de Straat van Taiwan met geweld of dwang te veranderen. Economische belangen mogen ons ook niet doen zwijgen over Xinjiang, Tibet en Hongkong.
