Anti-government protesters march against Beijing's plans to impose national security legislation in Hong Kong, China May 24, 2020. REUTERS/Tyrone SiuTAIPEI: Taiwan will provide the people of Hong Kong with"necessary assistance", President Tsai Ing-wen said, after a resurgence in protests in the city againstTaiwan has become a refuge for a small but growing number of protesters fleeing Hong Kong, which has been convulsed since last year by protests.

Bullets and repression are not the way to deal with the aspirations of Hong Kong's people for freedom and democracy, she added."In face of the changing situation, the international community has proactively stretched out a helping hand to Hong Kong's people," Tsai wrote. Taiwan will"even more proactively perfect and forge ahead with relevant support work, and provide Hong Kong's people with necessary assistance", she wrote.

Taiwan has no law on refugees that could be applied to Hong Kong protesters who seek asylum on the island. Its laws do promise, though, to help Hong Kong citizens whose safety and liberty are threatened for political reasons. The Hong Kong protests have won widespread sympathy in Taiwan, and the support for the protesters by Tsai and her administration have worsened already poor ties between Taipei and Beijing.China believes Tsai to be a"separatist" bent on declaring the island's formal independence. Tsai says Taiwan is already an independent country called the Republic of China.

Amnesty it is. She's a liar & betrayer if she doesnt. She doesnt trust the hk protesters & is selfish greedy & stingy.

Hahahaha retard

That sounds nice and generous. But can’t tell how good it will be eventually.

How about taking them in and live happily together ever after.

The shits gonna hit the fan....

Taiwan should not poke into such matters. That territory is mainland. You are lucky to form another democratic government since that split few decades back. If you are providing water and food to help. That's humanitarian act. Not into politics act.

😂😂😂😂😂. First created diplomatic row over extraditing Hongkonger Chan Tong-Kai for murder and next trying to play nice. Not to be trusted.

Not surprising.😂😂 Especially when the green colour party is at the helm.

BRIAN KERN NED agent today he was present coaching Hong Kong rioters your days are counted with the National Security Law

hongkong people have the natural habit of discriminate Chinese speaking people. Taiwanese will be discriminated by them and outcast in their home country. Hk people are best left to die.

Let’s help and do not allow HKG to be refugees.

That’s what we call Chinese helping out each other

Taiwan is just trying to show its existence whenever and wherever possible

Yes please!!! Take all these disgusting rioters Taiwan. I’ll even drive them to the airport and buy them a one way ticket. Good riddance!

People who respect human rights, freedom and democratic shall stand together.

The more the merrier?
