On June 27, 2024, legislator Shen Boyang initiated the establishment of the 'Taiwan Parliament Uighur Alliance' to support the rights and democratic values of the Uighur people in Xinjiang. Shen stressed the importance of democratic countries uniting to resist authoritarian threats like those posed by China's oppression of regions like Xinjiang. The alliance aims to defend universal values of democracy and freedom by taking practical actions to support the Uighur people, drawing attention to their plight internationally. Various lawmakers and advocacy groups have joined this global effort, recognizing the urgency to safeguard basic human rights. Taiwan's strategic position in the Indo-Pacific region and its own experience in defending democratic values are seen as crucial contributions to this cause.
