Taiwanese president receives enthusiastic welcome in New York City
#Taiwan #NBCNews #Politics
get a job at the gas station for minimum wage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the third roommates will pay for housing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most Americans don’t know who President Tsai or which country she is from. Her visit would be overshadowed by Trump’s indictment cause most networks would be preoccupied with this event
Nope! She’s on the headlines throughout the American mainstream media !
Not true at all
I hope the war in Ukraine ends so we can defend their precious country. We can’t be two places at once to help fight the people with commie DNA
China claims that the meeting is a provocation… of what? Also, I thought China wanted peace, and yet they are threatening over a mere meeting. Tells me that they are either lying about peace, or lying about threats.
Wouldn’t be long she done the Taiwan President soon. It bc Taiwanese will definitely not going to vote her or her party become next Taiwan President. She just make Taiwanese in a more danger living which she went to visit her master.
After Taiwan, PLA moved into Australian.
I think Biden is keep hiding from her😂
🇺🇸💩👎
Long Live the Free People of Taiwan. Keep the faith that the mainland will become free too.
Thank you for supporting Taiwan 🙂 ♥
Taiwan is a country! Thank you Madam President!
Better let her change your country’s name to republic of Taiwan, or republic of China. Stupid Chinese
That said a man that don’t know the history…There once a time a man that didn’t know the history…(from the “American dream”)
Taiwan is a part of China because China has 2 parts due to civil war, Taiwan of China and mainland of China. Currently both 2 parts have their own administrations but UN and almost all countries admit mainland China as the country China. Sooner or later both parts will be united because separation caused by civil war should not last long. God bless their early unity.
Unification won’t be a bad idea if the Communists won’t be in charge, but rather the people and democracy, complete with minority rights.
No
Why shall Beijing have anything to say. The Communists never controlled Taiwan beforehand. Why to bow down to them ?
@唐笑笑思密达 Taiwan is free. Fu China 🇨🇳
Taiwan is a Democracy and Freedom country, shares the same value with the rest of world. Taiwanese vote for their own president and legislators. Taiwan has her own currency, govt, defence force, passport, territory, people, sovereignty. Taiwan people decide their own policies by their Congress and how their tax$ goes, never in a single day paying tax$ to dictatorship CCPchina.
🇺🇸🇹🇼
David against Goliath!💪💪💪
The CCP has been spreading fallacy. Taiwan is an independent and free country.
Courageous President Tsai! Don’t succumb to the CCP!
Dr. 1.5
She is ROC dogy not Taiwanness president
She should have stayed there
Let me shout for US: we welcome Tsai from Republic of China. We support 2 China, and we want Taiwan to be next Ukraine😂
🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼
Have a look of other comments
Most of people support Taiwan
🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼
Atleast Ukraine fight for their own land, freedom and democracy. Fight the oppressor and Fight to live!!!
Ukraine is in good hands with the allied powers helping them. SLAVA UKRAINE
Ukraine is not a coward country! Ukraine is the best and they have the beautiful women in this world.
The well rehearsed reception is all part of the gamesmanship.
I’m with the one China 🇨🇳 policy.
One china policy isn’t good for both countries because taiwan is the real republic of china while china is the people’s republic of china that was controlled by chinese communist party or ccp.
Reject one china principal. Free Tibbat, xingjyang, inner Mongolia n hongkong.
I’m with Taiwan ,Taiwan was the chinese that helped defeat japan in WW2. Leaving them to fall to China for a.stupid claim would be foolish. Even japan can’t let Taiwan fall for personal reasons.
@Roshan Bhagat then we might as well reinstate the Sovereign Kingdom of Hawaii and give Puerto Rico it’s independence and let Alaskan Natives reclaim power over Alaska don’t you think?
Bots be here
Why isnt she in Washington?😅
Asia is committed to peace and economic development. The current Taiwanese president should remember that every time she thinks that she’s doing the right thing whenever she and her few lackeys get closer to the #1 war mongering nation in the world.
China india Russia Iran saudi usa pakistan what happening what thinking in your mind
As a Chinese student who studied in Taiwan for 4 years, I admit that Taiwan is much more a ideal place than China, this feeling growed bigger when I went back to China. I was neutral but now I support Taiwan.
After covid I assume?
@Stiv S yes but not only for the experience during covid policy, it’s also a chance to let me learn more about how the society and politics work.
@SAM nobody said Taiwan belongs to the CCP.
台湾省是因为中国两党内战的历史原因，得以被一部分群体暂时独占的中国土地。不合理的独占的时间越久，不会让独占更应该，只意味着独占更不应该。你对于他们在不独属于他们的土地上过怎样的生活是喜欢还是不喜欢，都是不是偷窃剥夺大陆中国人主权的借口。对偷窃剥夺主权的支持是最严重的的恶行之一，和支持侵略一个性质，不应该不付出代价。所以我希望你对台湾的“支持”能付出切实的行动，以便付出切实的代价。
@G C· 你这中文是机翻的吗？
我不太懂你所说的主权是什么，是指没有法理证据的历史幻想吗？
Good
The president that brings doomsday to Taiwan
SHE IS A NEW SCAPEGOAT AFTER UKRAINE, FOR WEST
China 🇨🇳 will not show mercy. Long love the republic ❤️
謝謝小英總統讓更多的民主國家願意與臺灣站在一起
India is with Tiwan.
Haha hilarious all these butthurt China fans
If China goes down. The chinese all over the world will suffer.
US loves meddling in others internal affairs
I never thought i will see the US and Nationalist Chinese Flag flying together once again since WWII
As a Filipino, the Republic of China (Taiwan) is the real China for me since they were the part of the Allies in WWII and fought the Imperial Japan
The CCP is not the China for me
Precise comment
Taiwan has Persident，China has dictator.
You’re next one. Tsailenskyy.😢
Brooo 😂😂😂
Tsai is CIA agent, she works for U.S interest to destroy China. China and Taiwan population all have china blood and DNA except some like Tsai Ing Wen who carries Japanese DNA and blood, Taiwanese should not become American dog and let Taiwan be destroyed like Ukraine.
Mr. Ma is a respectful Chinese. His ancestors are all Chinese and lived in mainland China, while Tsai’s father was born in Japan with the Japanese nationality. For her, Japan but not Taiwan and mainland China, is her mother country. Her government sent China’s national treasures to Japan for pleasing Abe’s mum…
Those countries which support the evil actions of the United States are all Western white countries, especially the countries dominated by Anglo-Saxons, and Japan, which is as bloodthirsty as them. These are nations that oppose world peace.
Their ancestors were pirates, who lived by slaughtering, and plundering. Their culture is a pirate culture, and the pirates’ habits of slaughtering and plundering are like DNA inheritance, which has not been changed until now.
Since they mastered the weapons of mass destruction in the first industrial revolution, they have brought disasters to the whole world, massacred countless people and robbed countless wealth all over the world.
Fortunately, today’s peace-loving people see a glimmer of peace. A powerful force headed by China and Russia are actively promoting world peace. All peace-loving people should actively support this peaceful force.
I have lived in Taiwan for 19 years now. Moving here was the best decision in my life! I love Taiwan!
Maybe it’s not that expensive compared to the neighbors China. Lol and it’s less expensive than Hongkong, Singapore
I have lived in Beijing for 21 years now. Moving here was the best decision in my life! I love Beijing!
@ukyer
You will be fine as long as you bow to your commie. Otherwise, you will learn a hard way. That small man Jack Ma learned his lesson to always say yes to commie
@ukyer of course you will love it if you aren’t chinese ccp treates foreigner better than its own people.
@Yu Takasaki American CIA bot
You are looking at the smiling face of WW3.
Support for Taiwan from Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭❤️❤️❤️🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼
🇹🇼🇹🇼😊😊🤝🤝🇵🇭🇵🇭👍👍
Then why don’t Phillipines establish diplomatic ties with that island (the Republic of China)?
LOVE HER!!!!!
World must reject one china principal that solve.
This Tsai shall turn Taiwan 🇹🇼 into another Syria 🇸🇾, Iraq and Ukraine 🇺🇦
😂 after being used against your people you will understand how valid you are.
The slave is received by her masters. They must treat her well so that she serves well.
War with China is gonna be great!
I CRACKED MY CHICKEN WING YESTERDAY,,,,,,AFTER I WISHED, TO OWN ONE “JUNGLE BUNNY” 4 WHEEL DRIVE MILITARY HERITAGE VEHICLE
Taiwan president shouldn’t be allowed to return to Taiwan….. and China should bring back the previous president to Taiwan, and rejoin the China as a state of China….China should arrest this lady for trying to create chaos in China territory…. Taiwan is a renegade state of the Chinese empire.
👍👍👍
中共係歷史上最野蠻、最嗜血的獨裁政權。 拜登係中共嘅工具，受賄收買。 這是事實。 而家結束中共。 中共/拜登係美國同自由世界最嚴重嘅威脅。 用民主嘅中國取代聯合國安理會嘅中共。 中華民國
When USA is demoted to number two in the world, Taiwan will fall into place as HK has fallen in to place as a province of China.
Taiwan will never fall for the simple fact that we have japan as crucial ally to the Taiwan-Strait. It would be foolish for China to engage in anything. Even if they are the first in the world.
Good job Taiwan. No China virus allowed
Did you know that Taiwan claims to be china and claims the whole of mainland china
@TB Phillips China lies. If anything Taiwan should take over China. Clean up CCP virus
China is not going to do anything except whine like a baby 🤣🤣🤣
Not much is said about the diaspora in the US. No matter what happens… free China lives on. And one day her spirit will crash down on the mainland. China always viewed its destiny as outward expanding… but perhaps that destiny is already fulfilled in its diaspora.
Long Live Taiwan!!!
She always says taiwan but unfortunately taiwan’s official name by constitution is Republic of China. Now she says taiwan is not china? I’m confused lol
The Asian Iron lady lets go Taiwan 🇹🇼
Even she was a lousy president, then as long as she stands against China, she is welcome by the world’s China haters.😅
Support Taiwan!!! Support Ukraine !!!! Love from Canada ~members of the G7
cringe
🇹🇼🇹🇼😊😊🤝🤝🇨🇦🇨🇦👍👍
You should support the Indigenous people who once lived in Canada and the children who died in residential schools first.
She is a provocator.
And manipulative sabotage well calculated
and that’s a celebratory moment – Let’s goooo Taiwan💛🕊
Love her and Love the free and democratic country of Taiwan ❤🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼
What country is that?
@YL What is your question?🤔
Go Taiwan good job
Freedom is contagious. Freedom is powerful. Freedom is hope.
Freedom will never perish from the Earth because as long as there are people who yearn to be free – to be themselves – there will be those so committed to it that they will fight for it.
Imagine if China was as competent as Taiwan. They’d surpass the USA in every way. Even today Taiwan has a ton of power consolidated in a small island.
WELCOME, WELCOME Madam President – Strength, Wisdom, Prosperity and Blessings to the people of Taiwan. I pray for your Safety and Peace
I love Taiwanese spinach.
Those people waving ROC flags were organized by her. DPP supporters don’t wave ROC flags. She’s a fraud that rigged her reelection in 2020.
Taiwan is. Taiwan they are Rufuguess from china during the culture revolution Long live Taiwanese Hundred of countries behind you
MOUMITA RAHMAN MY SPOUSE I LOVE YOU
I love & support Taiwan
The truth the media would never dare to tell you is, the opposite side has more people😂
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Did Biden see her? Come on, we are waiting US to recognize Taiwan as a country, do it now.
Taiwan is an independent country, not a part of China.
台灣，中國一邊一國。
ALLEGEDLY: “TO DESTROY DESPOTIC REGIMES IS THE UNITED STATES DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE PROCLAMATION, FOR ALL UNITED STATES CITIZENS, FURTHERMORE THE DESPOTIC REGIMES WHICH ATTACKED MY RESOURCES MOST CERTAINLY ABD SURELY MISUSE THESE MONIES, TO PREPARE, FOR WARS, ESPECIALLY, VIA, THE UNITED STATES CONSTRUCTION, SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHT,,,,,,THE CONFLICT OF CONSTITUTION: UNITED STATES= “TO ISSUE LONGSTANDING DUTIES TO DESTROY DESPOTIC REGIMES, AND, ALLOW ARMS, FOR THE DESPOTIC REGIMES!!!!!! THOSE WHICH SHALL BE KILLED ARE WHOM??????”
Best wishes for Taiwan from mainland!
I think China only needs half of a nuclear bomb to do the job, LOL.
Welcome to the US!😊😊😊
Our country is called Republic of China (ROC), not Taiwan.
Don’t be so glad. People will see the failure of Tsai Ing😢wen as soon as possible
Here come traitor
One who friend ship with USA they surferd like Afghanistan and Pakistan
US puppet like cory of Philippines 😂
Those companies and people sell medicines, weapons and banks start earning money recently 😂 . What a perfect industrial chain👍.
China needs to be really humble and cautious about having war against other countries or areas but will still be World No. 1(not in terms of millartary, US will still be No.1 on this, China just needs peaceful and stable economic development) on economy, infrastructure, technology, culture, food etc most of times with or without trade war after 50 years👍. Not U.S. nor even mention about Taiwan used by Western World as a trump card to suppress development of China. With this amount of population, market and hard working plus good policy, culture and infrastructure It’s just going back to where it used to be . Same as India （it will be rising）too. Around 3th to 5th. Followed by Japan and Germany.
Taiwan’s GDP used to be 1/2 China now is only 1/20. Will it be back to half of China the answer is definitely No. The iconic industry in Taiwan is only semiconductor & IC industry remaining as No. 1 in the World and a small place without much resources, well infrastructure, stability, lifestyle, living environment, strong economy and energy industry to support its development so its population and GDP(used to be 8% back in the days) are continuously declining and moving out compared with countries like China, U.S., Canada, Australia, Korea , Singapore etc. Even for Taiwanese there’s about 2 millions of people working or living in China. In fact, most Chinese not really focused or attracted by Taiwan, only political, economic and historical reasons in which Chinese communist party and Western politicians and merchants use it to battle against each other. And it’s not necessary to most of people in the world. (just telling the truth)
The main reason why Western world or other countries supporting Taiwan is due to the fact of their national interests or to suppress China not values or sincere relationship with Taiwan or strong business connections, technological, cultural, arts and beauty attractions from Taiwan. So they can negotiate with CCP for better access to Chinese consumers and Market. And it’s not gonna last permanently and necessary as well when the world eventually gonna become one with trend of technologicalisation, urbanisation and globalisation.
The fact is quite often people get influenced by media or education but China is not that lack of freedom, or ambitious to Western countries or any other countries except some disputes to its surrounding counties (still all Asians in Western perspective ) due to historical and cultural reasons (not to judge who’s right or wrong but it’s just like that and also not recommend China to “start” the war but just focus on upgrading itself, it’s a trap or China will be like former split USSR, don’t blame me for not telling this beforehand ). And will continue to grow and prosper in this century. (Yes, China seem to have many problems now , but eventually will be resolved and it’s also stronger, more beautiful, artistic, fashionable, historic, technological, industrialised, better infrastructure and buildings and higher GDP and more prosperous than Taiwan in almost every category excepted what so called democracy & freedom trap in which Taiwan falls into and struggling to it. There’s also a lot of problems in Taiwan, air pollution, violence and crime, drugs, dangerous traffic and dispute, low pay, poor living environment but with high housing price, lower long term economic growth, failure education with poor manners, communication skills and emotional control, you will see these quite often on news, shops and restaurants, driving (maybe not to foreigners）, So people who’s biased to China or Asia should really need to go and have a look. To see is to believe.)
The current system, economy, education, freedom and democracy are depending on what politicians, merchants and their medias and organisations trying to feed us, not true freedom and democracy to human being. Hence sorry to say but I’m probably the few not that obsessed with freedom and democracy but only believe in peace and prosperity first.
Ask most people in the world if you gonna choose a place to live, work or travel, would you choose China, Japan, South East Asia, Australia, U.S. and Europe or choose Taiwan? Except it’s political geographical location Taiwan is just relatively not that important.
So sometimes you just have to let go, and now it’s time to let go Taiwan or Formosa whatever it’s called as a chess which is good for everyone to prevent next war. Live everyday to its best with right direction and time will resolve it👍。
She is THE REAL STEEL WOMAN. RESPECT 👍✊
Oh no, NBC News..
Coming to sell her “country” to the U.S. as a vassal state beholden to their geopolitical interests. Don’t be fooled by this traitorous vile woman she is no defender of “freedom an democracy” She’s a fraud and belongs in prison.
Oh no… if there is a war, it means more tax payers money to spend? More bank failures? 🤔 First Republic bank? Are countries dumping US treasuries currently? Will that cause hyperinflation in the US if dollars flow back to the US?
China also claims the South Asian Sea to be hers, claim Tibetians are Chinese LOL and claim Xinjiang people and land belongs to China even though they are completely different race and culture. Taiwan is independentent country with a population that are mostly of Han race same with China, but China is claiming that if you got a lot of Han race people in a country then that country belongs to China. China’s reasoning is that because that is where the Han race came from, they came from mainland China, so if you are the origin of Han ethnic then you belong to China. Is like Finland,Sweden, and Norway, claiming all white people are their property, because that’s the orgin of white people.
I am okay for Republic if China’s 🇹🇼 independent but I hope on they China can become fully democratic so Taiwan can reunite with China to build and greater China with freedom
the chinese said tie one on 😆😆😆😆
THIS GIRL DOES NOT SUPPORT ONE CHINA POLICY. SHES BEEN RALLIED BY PEOPLE .DIS OBEDIENT
enthusiastic welcome??? what about the other side of voice in New York that against Tsai visit to the us.
be neutral….
If US wants war. Let’s have war
Propaganda. What about all the people who protested against this? US media bias
Taiwan is democracy, but the land was technically always part of China. With Tsai, a pro US leading Taiwan, US should be able to annex Taiwan as part of US just like Hawaii, and Stay will help US to break China apart.
See who’s at the welcome dinner and you can tell how IMPORTANT she is to the US
