Dear world, we are @TaiwanKiddos, a Taiwanese student activist group based in Europe, advocating for TW's intl' recognition & peace. We study in 🇨🇭🇫🇷🇩🇪🇬🇧🇨🇿. This weekend, we will be going to Geneva to show the UN & the WHO how young Taiwanese aspire to be a part of this world. 1/
The Taiwanese students made sure that wherever KMT Vice President of the Parliament, Johnny Chiang, went during his trip in Geneva, he would be photographed with either a '#Taiwan Independence' flag or a 'Withdraw the KMT Bill' sign. Thank you for your support, Johnny!

Devant @ONUGeneve, des étudiants taïwanais sont porteurs d'un message simple : "Les Taïwanais existent".
#WHA77 #SantéPourTous #TaiwanCanHelp
In front of the @UN office in Geneva, the Taiwanese students have a simple message.
We want to make it loud and clear to the @UN and the world-
Taiwan is not a province of China.
Taiwan belongs to the Taiwanese people.
We, the Taiwanese students in Europe, are here in Geneva to walk among the @WHO crowd in the #HealthForAll challenge. We want to show the world that Taiwan, too, deserve to be a part of this international community. #IncludeTaiwan #TaiwanCanHelp #IWalkWithTaiwan
Dear Taiwan, we are with you tonight.
Young Taiwanese will not accept any form of black boxing in the parliament. We are a generation born to Taiwan’s democracy. But we do not take that for granted. We understand that democracy needs to be actively maintained and fought for.

“Taiwan” is nowhere to be found in 1971’s #UNGA Res. 2758, nor is #Taiwan🇹🇼 a province of #China. The @UN misinterprets it, we don’t & the world shouldn’t. We must stop #Beijing from exploiting this as carte blanche to claim any territory it desires.

NOW in #Taiwan:80K protesters gather outside parliament, demonstrating against opposition parties’ attempt to push controversial bills—expanding legislative power to scrutinise the government and potentially criminalising ‘uncooperative’ officials—without proper process.📷JC Shih

I guess @UN has made it clear that being democratic, peaceful, helpful, and prosperous won’t guarantee you statehood; power and corruption do.
The 1971 resolution recognises the PRC as the rep of China, but it doesn't address TW's status, nor does it authorise Beijing to represent Taiwan in the UN. Taiwan is not mentioned once in the resolution. There's no need for the @UN to adopt China's interpretation of the text.
While our friends in Taiwan take to the streets of Taipei, we channel the energy of TW youth activism for the fights abroad. DM us to join if you're also a student in Europe. 5/

P.S. As we are a self-organised student group, it's been challenging for us financially. A lot of us could not afford a train ride to Geneva. So we started a GoFundMe page to try to subsidise students. Please share, donate, or follow us. Thank you & 謝謝🙏🏽
