The US’ commitment to the security of the Indo-Pacific region is “stronger than ever,” US Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson said during a meeting with President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) in Taipei yesterday.

“I am in Taiwan ... to remind the world that our commitment and shared responsibility for a free and secure Indo-Pacific region remains stronger than ever,” said Johnson, who arrived on Sunday for a four-day visit and took part in Double Ten National Day celebrations in Taipei on Monday.

Taiwan will not rely on others for its defense, President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) said on Wednesday, while welcoming a US commitment to the nation’s security during what she called Chinese encroachment on its sovereignty.

Tsai’s remarks, pre-recorded and delivered to a US audience at a Washington forum, came after US President Joe Biden last month pledged to defend Taiwan in the event of any “unprecedented attack” by China.

The Taipei District Court ruled yesterday to extend former president Chen Shui-bian’s incarceration at the Taipei Detention Center for two more months.

“The court ruled to extend [Chen’s] detention by two months starting from July 26,” Taipei District Court spokesperson Huang Chun-ming said.

The court cited several of the reasons used in its previous detention rulings — the concern that Chen would collude with witnesses, destroy evidence or try to abscond, and because he has been charged with serious crimes that could bring him a prison term of seven years or more.
