Latvia is the first European country and the first western country having the guts to officially open a Taiwanese embassy in its country, and under the name of "Taiwan".

This puts big countries like Germany to shame.

Taiwan has significantly contributed to the fight and the scientific research on Covid-19. They deserve formal recognition around which Western states and the UN try to weasel aroudn since so long. Appeasement and money grabbing still is put above the right for sovereignty of people. Recently, the weasling delayed deliveries of vaccines to Taiwan for months.

I would wish the US would do with Taiwan what they did in Israel: open formal diplomatic representations like they moved their embassy to Jerusalem (or has bidne reversed that? I honestly don't know, but could imagine it). China is the enemy here, not Taiwan. We must learn to play hard with chian anyway - they will not leave us another chance, but will push the whole world against the wall. Flowery language will not change that.
