There are an estimated 1,021 Taiwanese students in Hong Kong, the ministry said. Personnel at the ministry’s Hong Kong branch on Wednesday night concluded talks with China Airlines (中華航空) about seating for returning students, it said. Its offices would “do whatever possible and whatever they must” to ensure the safety of Taiwanese students in Hong Kong, she said. It was saddening to see Hong Kong police enter campuses to crack down on students, she said, citing President Tsai Ing-wen’s (蔡英文) call on Wednesday for the Hong Kong government not to “decorate the faces of Beijing authorities” with the blood of Hong Kongers. The nation also sincerely calls on the international community to support Hong Kong, and defend democracy, freedom and human rights, she said.
