“I appeal to all those with influence over Israel to do everything in their power to help avert even more tragedy. The international community has a shared responsibility to promote a humanitarian ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages and a massive surge in life-saving aid.

“Reunification with Taiwan has been the goal of Chinese presidents ever since the formation of the People's Republic of China and Xi [Xi Jinping] is determined to achieve this under his leadership. But Tsai Ing-wen's position is that the island's future will be decided by its people. In her speech, she also spoke about Hong Kong's experience, which in recent months has seen the erosion of certain rights and freedoms under the implementation of a sweeping new security law. She says that should serve as a warning for the people of Taiwan.”
