Responding to Hong Kong protestors’ further action against the proposed extradition bill on 1 July, the 22nd anniversary of Hong Kong’s handover, Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen expressed support for the people of Hong Kong and called on the Hong Kong government to engage with protestors’ demands. President Tsai tweeted that “as President of a country that walked the long road to democracy, I urge the Hong Kong government to address the legitimate concerns of the people and their pursuit of freedom and democracy.”
Taiwan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Joseph Wu also expressed his support for Hong Kong on 1 July, stressing that the citizens of Hong Kong are seething with anger and frustration. He tweeted that it’s clear the Chinese Communist Party regime’s “one country, two systems” is nothing but a lie. The Minister also urged the global community to support the Hong Kong people’s struggle for freedom and fully democratic elections.
