16, 2016 – A milestone for Taiwanese Americans!
For many Taiwanese Americans, a true democratic country with justice and freedom for Taiwan has been our dreams. We spend time reading, writing, talking about it, and participating in many activities, even risking lives. The DPP party has been our hope to obtain our dreams. On January 16, 2016, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Chairwoman Dr. Tsai Ing-wen was elected as the next president and her party will also gain control of Legislative Yuan for the first time. God Bless Taiwan!
Many Taiwanese Americans have been playing significant roles in this election. The followings have been recorded on our website:
- T. A. communities welcomed Dr. Tsai during her U. S. visit from May 29 to June 29 in 2015.
A large number of T. A. gathered to support her emotionally and monetarily in Los Angels, Chicago, Washington D. C. , New York, Huston, and San Francisco. T. A. also contributed her visit to key persons in the U. S. Congress and government. The visit is voted to be the #1 important event of T. A. community in 2015.
