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.

Despite having cancer, 68-year-old Union of Education in Taiwan chairperson Cheng Cheng-iok (鄭正煜) said he would continue urging the Ministry of Education to keep mandatory local language courses for the upcoming junior-high school year.

Born in 1946 in Cieding (茄萣) in what is now Greater Kaohsiung, Cheng became a junior-high school teacher after graduating from Chinese Culture University’s history department.
