DPP U.S. Mission

The KMT is calling Beijing's ten measures a "gift to the Taiwanese people." We're not opposing cross-strait trade. But these were either recycled from prior announcements or unilaterally banned by Beijing—then repackaged as generosity, contingent on accepting its annexation framework. Here's what they actually handed her: tinyurl.com/rr10scps

While KMT politicians seek favors in Beijing, friends of Taiwan in the US Congress are standing up for Taiwan’s defense. 🛡️ Many thanks to the bipartisan group of Senators Shaheen, Curtis, Tillis and Rosen for urging the passage of our special defense budget. Accelerating domestic production of drones and missile systems is critical for deterrence. It is time for the opposition to stop playing politics with our safety and work together to protect our democracy.

Xi wants surrender, not peace. Rather than submission, Taiwan requires strength, which starts with passing President Lai’s special defense budget before it is too late. wsj.com/world/china/xi…

Beijing called it a "family affair." We're calling it what it is. Xi used the KMT to launder his political conditions. Prosecutors got threatened by name. And a leaked database built to target Taiwan's electorate just got exposed. Catch up with our latest edition of the China Influence Tracker: tinyurl.com/CINTXVII

Today marks 47 years since the Taiwan Relations Act was signed into law. What its authors may not have foreseen: Taiwan would transform into a beacon of democracy and a global economic powerhouse, thanks to the consistent bipartisan support from the United States. Peace doesn’t rest on passivity. It relies on strength. TRA has stood the test of time. #TaiwanRelationsAct47 🇹🇼🇺🇸

Today marks 47 years of the Taiwan Relations Act, which has long served as a cornerstone for #Taiwan-#US relations. I'm confident that our enduring partnership—spanning across security, trade, technology & more—will continue to spur innovation & help safeguard regional peace.

A warm welcome to Sen. @Jim_Banks to Taiwan. We’re grateful for his longstanding support, including legislative efforts to deepen #Taiwan-#US security cooperation. We look forward to continuing our work with like-minded partners for a safer, more prosperous future.

As Taiwan commemorates Freedom of Speech Day, President @ChingteLai reminds us that Taiwan's democracy was never a given; it was paid for with the lives of heroes like Cheng Nan-jung. VP @bikhim put it well: freedom isn't a lofty ideal, it's a way of life worth defending. Today of all days, KMT Chair Cheng Li-wen is in China, a trip orchestrated by PRC handlers. Taiwan should engage China with dignity and strength, ever mindful that our freedom was secured at a profound cost. president.gov.tw/NEWS/39949

Pleased to meet with the @RepublicanStudy delegation led by National Security Task Force Chair @ZachNunn & thank the #US Congress for its staunch support. Pursuing peace through strength, #Taiwan will continue to enhance its self-defense & contribute to regional security.

A Republican congressional delegation led by Zach Nunn, chair of the Republican Study Committee's National Security Task Force, is visiting Taiwan this week and will meet with President Lai Ching-te, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. focustaiwan.tw/politics/20260…

Taiwan's investing in its own defense, and the U.S. is investing with us. The bipartisan #BlueSkiesForTaiwan Act, introduced by Sens. Cruz, Merkley, Curtis & Kim, expands drone co-production and cuts China out of the supply chain. For that partnership to work, Taiwan needs the resources to show up. That's why President Lai's special defense budget must pass.

.@SenatorShaheen, @SenJohnCurtis, @SenThomTillis & @SenJackyRosen concluded their visit with a strong message of support for #Taiwan. Dep. Min. Chen thanked the delegation, reaffirming our role in regional peace & #AI supply chains. Together, we’ll continue advancing our partnership.

Director @irisshaw was pleased to return to @CPAC in the great Lone Star state of Texas. CPAC's growth into an impactful international coalition is inspiring. From Asia to Europe, we are united in our common pursuit of freedom, faith, and fortitude. DPP Founders paid an unimaginable price for liberty, and we will keep fighting to keep Taiwan free.

The @MoNDefense's special defense budget has Washington's backing, industry's backing, and 60% of Taiwan's public behind it. The KMT has a fraction of that ambition and — an invitation to Beijing. Here's our latest on what's actually at stake: tinyurl.com/TWspbudget

A warm welcome to @SenatorShaheen, @SenJohnCurtis, @SenThomTillis & @SenJackyRosen. We value Congress' bipartisan support for closer security & economic ties between #Taiwan & the #US. Through sustained defense investments, Taiwan will enhance deterrence & uphold regional peace.

Congratulations to @UnderSecE on today's Pax Silica fund announcement! Securing semiconductor supply chains takes ongoing work from all of us, and we're glad to see this commitment. Taiwan is ready to do our part.

VP Hsiao Bi-khim's message at @HillValleyForum was clear: Taiwan brings strategic value to the Pax Silica initiative that goes beyond participation. Our AI capabilities and trusted partnership make us an essential pillar of its vision.

Exactly 30 years ago Taiwan held our first presidential elections. Since then & although imperfect, our young democracy has thrived and matured, but we are constantly reminded that freedom cannot be taken for granted, it has to be cherished and protected.
