Taiwan has every right to host Speaker Pelosi. This is not a provocation - it's just a govt doing what govt does. Allies now must state clearly that any military threats from China are intolerable. We must step up and deter Chinese dictators from launching another unprovoked war.

Let me be clear - China, under the rule of the CCP, is the greatest threat to the U.S. in our history. It touches every facet of American life: military, education, the private sector, our government, and more. It will take real, unified effort in each for America to stay on top.

Our visit reiterates that America stands with Taiwan: a robust, vibrant democracy and our important partner in the Indo-Pacific.

Today, the United States took a powerful step forward in the fight to defend global freedom and Democracy: welcoming Finland and Sweden into the strongest security alliance in human history.

Taiwan is a free and sovereign country. It does not belong to China. Want proof? I'm banned from China because I dared to hold the CCP accountable for its actions. Yet, I walked freely on Taiwan’s soil, and I was warmly welcomed by both the people and government.

Deeply touched by the tributes from the many HKers remembering HM The Queen UK in Hong Kong 🇬🇧 today: over 2500 signing condolence books and laying flowers. Helpjng my kids appreciate the impact HM had on people across the world.

Flower tributes surround UK in Hong Kong 🇬🇧; in 11 days just over 13000 HKers, young and old, have signed condolence books. Thank you HK for acknowledging Her Majesty’s legacy and our nation’s grief. A final farewell as I watch the State Funeral with family, friends, colleagues.

Hong Kong director Johnnie To at @berlinale: cinema has always been at the forefront (of culture); when an authoritarian regime takes over, cinema becomes their prime target. Those who fight for freedom should stand with cinema, as cinema speaks up for them.

This is deeply dangerous To no longer label as "state media" the mendacious propaganda outfits of some of the world's most brutal, criminal dictatorships risks spreading disinformation and misinformation in ways that threaten the free world hongkongfp.com/2023/04/21/twi… via Hong Kong Free Press HKFP

I do ask: if Ambassador Lu Shaye’s views were personal, then why choose as an Ambassador somebody who questions the sovereignty of other countries? Surely even an Ambassador of the PRC should understand basic principles of international law
