Wait a minute, Taiwan's president just declared Taiwan as a sovereign nation? According to what legal base? According to established international law, under One China principle there is only ONE sovereign state under the name China.
On the US side, One China is interpreted as a policy of US towards Taiwan status, quote; It "acknowledges that all Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China" and "does not challenge that position."
If Taiwan is declaring it's own sovereignty, especially right after visit of a US Democrat, to China it means war with US.
Democrats just started another war.
Why does she remind me of Zalensky?
She is next zelenxy of Ukraine 🇺🇦
Ukraine also said like this but Ukraine is paying the price . Ukraine can never bring back the soldiers and people who died in the war and they can never pay the dept
Stand with Taiwan 🇹🇼🇹🇼
Let's pray for the demise of PRC
Another Zelensky and Ukraine
Taiwan 36,000 Sqaure mile, China only need 30 supersonic misssile to destroy Taiwan. She wants her country to become ukraine like
Stand with Taiwan 🇹🇼
I can't understand why the US is doing what it's doing with Taiwan, it's going to get shredded just like Ukraine.
Taiwan is a province of China, like Donbas is a province of Russia. You better get used to it. The West should shut its mouth and focus on confirming the type of gender they are instead of meddling in places they understand very little about
yeaaaaaaah , but actually no most imp thing u need in war is nature or lot of men and taiwan has neither of those so idk how
I highly respect this woman as a president of a FREE country democratically elected by 23 MILLION of people. This speech is a giant middle finger to China and Russia's tyranny.
if they are rational, they would have rejected or delayed Nancy's visit. such BS
🤣🤣🤣🤣
LongLive iron lady of Taiwan
Respect
Old auntie (Tsai), don't follow Ukraine President and now their people are suffering and die. Where is the USA and Nato?
There is no president of Taiwan, only the president of the Republic of China, followed by the ROC flag. The Taiwan question is one that the Chinese civil war has not yet ended.

Taiwan belong to china
if alone, why wear mask?
Tsai is the Taiwanese Zelensky. The West loves its puppets who grovel at their feet. They do not care one bit about people or democracy. West does not even follow its own advice or rules, I mean just look at the state of the world today. Majority are non-Western yet the West wants to bully and impose its will on everybody. This goes against majority. What a bunch of clownish hypocrites!
you are already dead
Great another zelensky, that's what we need 🤦♂
I stand with People's Republic of China and Xi Jinping. We will not let United States and Taiwan provocate the People's Republic of China and destroy prosperous China. 🇷🇸🇷🇺🇵🇸🇨🇳. 中国共产党万岁! 习近平和毛泽东万岁.
We stand with you 🇹🇼 from 🇦🇺 🇮🇳 🇺🇸 🇯🇵
