President Tsai Ing-wen is thanking U-S Secretary of State Antony Blinken for
voicing support for Taiwan's participation in the United Nations system.

Taking to Twitter after Blinken called on all U-N member states to support
Taiwan's "robust" participation in the global body, Tsai wrote that Taiwan
"will continue to work with the US and other like-minded partners to overcome
the challenges facing the international community."

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also responded on social media - saying that
Blinken's "support for the country's meaningful participation in the
activities, mechanisms and meetings of UN specialized agencies is key to
successfully tackling global challenges."

While the K-M-T has taken to Twitter to say that it "will work with our
American friends to promote Taiwan's international visibility and
contribution for regional interests and stability in the Taiwan Strait."

However, Beijing is not so happy about Blinken's statement.

And China's embassy in the U-S has issued a statement saying Beijing "will
not accept" the U-S challenging its "one-China" principle and the U-S is
"attempting to challenge international law as well as international norms."
