Lai Ching-te

We welcome the United States and China managing their competition through dialogue and reducing the risk of conflict and war.

A president's authority comes from the people's trust.

Political competition and differing opinions should not divide Taiwan.

Families should not have to raise children all on their own. To support a family is to safeguard Taiwan's future.

The government will strictly enforce the law and show zero tolerance.

And above all, democracies in the Indo-Pacific must join forces to ensure the status quo of peace and stability in the region is not changed.

There must be no tolerance for distorting the history of World War II. There must be respect for the right of the people of Taiwan to exist.

It was my administration's unwavering goal to preserve peace in the Taiwan Strait, and that investing in national defense, which increases the cost of invading Taiwan and lowers the risk of miscalculation, helps further that aim.

We will continue to improve living and training environments for the nation's armed forces.

I thank all of Taiwan's armed service members for protecting national security and defending the country's sovereignty.

Our health policy must gradually shift from disease treatment toward health promotion and preventive medicine.

Taiwan has entered a super-aged society, and chronic diseases have become a major challenge to public health.
