#Taiwan President on Taiwan's National Day: The Year 2020 is a "Generational Opportunity" and a "Chance to determine own Future"
Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen delivered her speech celebrating the National Day of the Republic of China (#ROC) on Oct 10, 2020.
Tsai emphasized that Taiwan was one of the few countries in the world that maintained positive economic growth despite the coronavirus pandemic.
Tsai raised concern over Hong Kong's National Security Law and pointed out that "it is clear that democracy, peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific are currently facing serious challenges".
While Taiwan-US economic cooperation is expected to be deepened, Tsai said Taiwan-China dialogue would be possible "as long as the Beijing authorities are willing to resolve antagonisms and improve cross-strait relations, while parity and dignity are maintained".
Tsai ended her speech by the following remark:
“Let's wish that 20 years from now, when Taiwanese look back on 2020, they will remember this as the year we grasped a generational opportunity, bravely forging ahead in rapidly changing times to overcome challenges and throw off our shackles, giving them a chance to determine their own future."
