Taiwan’s authorities were “faced with a punch” before the first wave of unsealed lists

  [Global Times reported reporter Cheng Dong] Taiwan’s DPP authorities proudly boasted “Taiwan can help” after engaging in “mask diplomacy”. Unexpectedly, many countries unblocked the border, and Taiwan was excluded from the first wave list , So that many people "glass broken heart."

  Due to the slowing down of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, coupled with the pressure of economic recession, governments around the world have adjusted border control measures. According to a report by Taiwan’s “China Times” on June 30, the European Union announced that it will open the entry of tourists from 18 countries and regions from July 1. Taiwan and the United States, Brazil and Russia, where the epidemic is still severe, are not on the first wave of lists. China The mainland is conditionally lifting the ban. Zhan Changquan, dean of the National Taiwan University School of Public Health, believes that the test volume in Taiwan is too low to convince other regions. This matter deserves the authorities' vigilance.

  Taiwan’s China Times reported that Indonesia, Thailand, and Japan had previously indicated that they would ease entry and exit restrictions. Indonesia and Thailand were included in the mainland, while Taiwan was not included. Others such as Greece, New Zealand and Australia have not opened their borders to Taiwan. What makes the DPP authorities even more embarrassing is that Taiwan has conditions to open foreigners, including Thailand, on June 29. Taiwan's "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" explained on June 30 that the EU's opening of borders was mainly due to "reciprocity" considerations. Chen Shizhong, the commander of Taiwan's "Central Epidemic Epidemic Command Center", also said that "political factors are greater than epidemic considerations."

  Li Zhengxiu, an associate researcher at Taiwan’s National Policy Research Foundation, wrote that it is obvious that all parties do not believe that Taiwan is no longer at risk of mass infection. Taiwan’s “United Daily News” commented on June 30 that the DPP authorities claimed to be “model epidemic prevention students”. As a result, they were injured after being ruled out by Japan, and now they are hit hard by the European Union.
