We will explore what China might do, what the United States should do, and what the international community could do. But the key question, of course, is what is Taiwan going to do? Through HFX Taipei,

I wanted to bring democracies to Taipei to see and understand why Taiwan deserves the international community's friendship and support. In the face of the geopolitical changes and international trade changes brought by Trump's election, our goal should be the same: to protect the national security of the Republic of China and Taiwan, and to resist all the unilateral behavior of the other side.

I believe this is the biggest contract of Taiwan's society. Only with this, will Taiwan have security insurance in the future. We will prioritize special budget allocations to ensure that our defense budget exceeds 3% of GDP. We will also deepen our strategic partnerships in the democratic community

to mutually increase defense resilience, demonstrate deterrence, and achieve our goal of peace throughout the world. You're going to see greater emphasis and recognition of the geopolitical shifting sands that will force countries to do more. But that also means more trade, more opportunity, and more wise investment for their own sovereignty protection and projection

of sovereignty and democracy for other countries. So is Taiwan doing enough? Taiwan, I think, can and will do more, as will Canada. I am sure that China is spreading the same narrative about Taiwan as Russia spread about Ukraine, that it's a massive corrupt democracy. But China is not corrupt. Russia is not corrupt. These democracies, they are

completely incapable, they are factless, they are weak, they are corrupt, but we autocratists, we the ones who give you good life. And this is the narrative that Russia was spreading through those TV channels and influencing those people.
