\u2018CHIP IN FOR TAIWAN\u2019:
\n The 23.5 million people of Taiwan are willing to fulfill their responsibilities as global citizens, and their rights should not be overlooked, an official said <\/p>\n

Members of the Taiwanese community in Vancouver have joined this year\u2019s \u201cUN for Taiwan\u201d campaign with a car formation visible from the air to demonstrate their support ahead of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly which begins at the UN headquarters in New York tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Organizers helped 45 vehicles park to spell out \u201cTW\u201d in a parking lot near Vancouver on Saturday, with each vehicle displaying the flag of the Republic of China (ROC).<\/p>\n

Participants dressed in flag-themed clothing, waved ROC flags, chanted slogans supporting Taiwan\u2019s inclusion in the UN and displayed signs with the slogan \u201cChip in with Taiwan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Event organizer Chang Chien-hung (\u5f35\u5efa\u5b8f) said that vehicles in the rally featured custom license plates including \u201cTAIWAN,\u201d \u201cTAIPEI,\u201d \u201cNEW TPE\u201d and \u201cTW88,\u201d demonstrating the Taiwanese community\u2019s deep connection to their homeland.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough we are in Canada, our hearts are always with Taiwan. Taiwan\u2019s entry into the UN remains one of our most earnest hopes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the era of artificial intelligence, Taiwan\u2019s semiconductor industry underpins the world, and Taiwan is eager to contribute more globally,\u201d said Liu Yung-chiang (\u5289\u6c38\u5f37), co-chair of the Metro Vancouver Overseas Taiwanese Society.<\/p>\n

Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Vancouver Director Liu Li-hsin (\u5289\u7acb\u6b23) said Canada values sustainability, green energy and gender equality \u2014 progressive ideals that are strengths of Taiwan and core UN objectives.<\/p>\n

Taiwan\u2019s inclusion in the UN would enable the nation to contribute even more to the global community, she added. <\/p>\n

The General Debate of the 81th session of the UN General Assembly takes place from Sept. 22 to Sept. 28, themed \u201cRestoring Trust, Managing Transformation: A United Nations that Delivers for All.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDelivering for all\u201d means leaving no one behind, and Taiwan is an important and responsible member of the international community, she said. <\/p>\n

The 23.5 million people of Taiwan are willing to fulfill their responsibilities as global citizens, and their rights and interests should not be overlooked, she added.<\/p>\n

In Taipei, President William Lai (\u8cf4\u6e05\u5fb7) on Saturday said China deliberately misinterprets UN Resolution 2758 to claim sovereignty over Taiwan.<\/p>\n

During his speech at a Lawyers\u2019 Day banquet hosted by the Taiwan Bar Association, Lai said the resolution only addressed the issue of China\u2019s representation at the UN and has no bearing on Taiwan\u2019s status.<\/p>\n

He expressed hope that members of the Taiwan Bar Association would continue speaking up for Taiwan at home and abroad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u2018CHIP IN FOR TAIWAN\u2019: The 23.5 million people of Taiwan are willing to fulfill their responsibilities as global…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":608332,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,5701,40,38,41,39,5700],"class_list":["post-608331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-the-taipei-times","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-5700"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=608331"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608331\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/608332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=608331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=608331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=608331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
