Material "exchange" is really a "transaction", and the island questioned that "Taiwan-US epidemic prevention cooperation" is a lie

  [Universal Times correspondent in Taipei Yu Lu] Taiwan ’s DPP authorities have been proud to cooperate with the United States in epidemic prevention, but the media in the island disclosed that the so-called exchange of masks and protective clothing materials between Taiwan and the United States is actually just a transaction. At the same time, cooperating with the United States to promote the so-called "anti-China" will only make Taiwan more and more isolated in the international community.

  After the DPP authorities announced the donation of masks to the United States, Taiwan's "Central Radio" reported on the 21st that the Taipei office in Boston donated 100,000 medical masks to Massachusetts (hereinafter referred to as "Massachusetts") on the 20th. According to reports, these masks were made in Taiwan and were shipped directly to Massachusetts from Taiwan. The Taipei Office in Boston also cooperated with the Massachusetts Taiwanese Society to raise funds, donating 3,000 masks ordered from Taiwan and cloth masks hand-sewn by the "Massachuset Taiwan Mother Team" to the Boston Police and Fire Department. In addition to Massachusetts, more than 500,000 medical masks donated by Taiwan have been distributed to New York and New Jersey.

  Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Taiwan and the United States have held groups against the World Health Organization and the mainland. On March 4, the US House of Representatives passed an amended version of the "Taipei Act", requesting the US executive branch to take practical action to assist Taiwan in consolidating "diplomatic relations" and participating in international organizations, and called on the US government to further strengthen economic and trade relations with Taiwan. In mid-March, Taiwan and the United States signed a joint statement against New Coronary Pneumonia. Taiwan ’s "Foreign Minister" Wu Zhaoxie said that he would donate 100,000 masks to the United States every week in exchange for the United States retaining 300,000 pieces of protective clothing materials for Taiwan. Other anti-epidemic measures include cooperation and exchanges in the research and development of rapid screening test reagents, vaccine research and production, and pharmaceutical research and production. In early April, Tsai Ing-wen announced that under the Taiwan-US medical cooperation framework, Taiwan would donate 2 million masks in the United States in addition to providing 100,000 masks per week in the United States. The recent confrontation with the World Health Organization has been called a "model work" by the DPP authorities holding the thighs of the United States. In order to dump the pot of weak epidemic prevention to the WHO, the Trump administration claimed that the DPP authorities had warned the World Health Organization on December 31 last year that "viruses may spread from person to person", and the DPP authorities immediately released the electronic As a result of the email, there was no “human-to-human” expression on the face, and I was severely hit.

  On the 20th, the Taiwan media further disclosed that the so-called Taiwan-US cooperation in epidemic prevention is basically a political lie. According to Taiwan ’s United News Network, after the Taiwan ’s “Ministry of Foreign Affairs” announced in March “replacement of masks for protective clothing materials”, some people on the island considered it a worthwhile exchange. After all, masks cost less and DuPont, which provides protective clothing materials The product is unique in the world. However, people familiar with the matter disclosed that the Taiwan CDC started to contact DuPont as early as late February to "buy protective clothing". During this time, the "Executive Yuan" once hoped that these protective clothing would be processed and produced in Taiwan. Issues such as legal and technology transfers may be time-consuming, so in the end, it was decided to hand over to Taiwanese businessmen in Cambodia for production. Therefore, this contract with 300,000 pieces of protective clothing in the United States is a "transaction" rather than an "exchange." Taiwan's "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" insisted that under the framework of the "Taiwan-US Joint Statement on Epidemic Prevention Cooperation" on March 18, the assistance provided by the United States was to ensure that the epidemic prevention materials needed by Taiwan could be supplied to Taiwan early in the event of global grabs Fang demanded, "The expression of political lies is discrediting the epidemic prevention cooperation between Taiwan and the international community." Taiwan ’s Lianhe Wanbao asserted that the DPP authorities ’“ mask diplomacy ”may be destroyed by political lies.

  At the same time, WHO also responded to the DPP authorities. According to Taiwan ’s “Central News Agency” on the 21st, in response to the so-called “warning email” of the DPP authorities, WHO Director-General Tan Desai clarified at a press conference on the 20th that the first epidemic report came from Wuhan, while Taiwan ’s December 31 last year The Japanese e-mail "is very clear that there are no reports of people from person to person, and Taiwan, like other entities, only requires more explanation." He said that all WHO documents can be verified. Before Tan Desai's speech, Ryan, executive director of the WHO's Emergency Plan for Public Health, also said that this email in Taiwan did not talk about the person-to-person phenomenon, just to understand the situation.

  Kuomintang Chairman Jiang Qichen questioned the pro-US policy of the DPP authorities. He said that the DPP's "foreign policy" is to choose sides and pro-America, while Trump has adopted a series of isolationist and unilateralist practices. The whole environment is changing. If Taiwan is only on a single point With constant rotation, the difficulties will only increase. Taiwan ’s “China Times” stated that Green Camp launched successive “de-Chinese” actions during the epidemic prevention. It is necessary to correct the name of the “passport” and the name of China Airlines, and it will provoke sensitive nerves on both sides of the strait. It is a failure. The general election is over. How should the DPP win internationally, it is necessary to return to cross-strait relations and start. "
