Life in Taiwan with China flexing its military might | 60 Minutes

I'm American and have lived in Taiwan for 12 years now and, I must say, it is a truly special place. The people are so genuinely kind and caring and there is such a true spirit of what they call 公德心 or civic morality here. What many may not realize is Taiwan really does have a thriving democracy (complete with a referendum process and high turnout) where the government genuinely works for the people. I can't express how tragic it would be for the Taiwanese to lose what they have here and fall to an autocracy.

I love Taiwanese people so much "Small Island, but we're proud of it" Gotta love a group of patriots like that.

My admiration to Taiwan. I was there once when not smart phones were available. People always help me when I asked for orientation. They were always very kind

Taiwan is also one of the friendliest place on Earth. Everyone who visited always talk about how friendly and kind everyone is living here. It's a truly civil society in the most sincere sense of the word. Yet due to China, they have no UN seat and no direct diplomatic relations with almost no country on Earth. Everyone has turned their backs on Taiwan, and yet they became almost a model nation with strong, forward looking economy, progressive social trends (first Asian nation to legalize same sex marriage), best medical system in the world, wonder people, and the legendary food scene that is famous in Asia. This is one of the most special places in the world.

Taiwan, small island, big heart. It's a privilege living here.🇹🇼🇿🇦

I am a Chinese. I stand with Taiwan people in seeking peace and freedom.

I admire the ingenuity and the courage of the people living in Taiwan.

I love products made in Taiwan. Always quality stuff. We need to support men that work hard and live with integrity.

I really appreciate 60 Minutes for their effort of the coverage and sending their best crew doing the interview in person.

Like Ukraine in recent times. Taiwan has captured the world's hearts. I wish Taiwan nothing but the best ❤️❤️❤️👍

I love these people and support their freedom and independence

As a Taiwanese, I'm proud of it, the magical island.

Taiwan🇹🇼, we love you! 台灣🇹🇼，我們愛你！ 🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼 #🇹🇼 #standwithTaiwan

A usa vet, many nationality friends. Love the Spirit of Taiwan and Ukraine !! Go Freedom !

I LOVE Taiwan and their people. I really really hope we don’t let what happened to Hong Kong happen to them.

LOVE Taiwan. Beautiful island, beautiful people, amazing culture.

I was impressed by that man who said I will die.. while he was smiling with calmness, confidence, and courage. This is a matter of human nature, regardless of political ground. I am Chinese but I disagree if our country invadesTaiwan. I prefer to see mainland China and Taiwan exist in peace way. No war anyway.

God Bless Taiwan.

I'm from Taiwan, and we welcome support from all across the world. It's not about fighting for Taiwanese independence anymore, it's about preserving our way of life. Good evening, we are from Taiwan!

Taiwan is also called Formosa, the name reflects her reality in life. People are friendly and lovely. They pursue happiness and peace. Enjoy prosperity by hard working and inventive ideas. People around the world should respect and maintain the choice of their way of living !!
