(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) Taiwan authorities prevent mainland vaccines from being exported to Taiwan in every possible way. Taiwan Affairs Office: Delaying the precious opportunity for epidemic prevention

  China News Service, Beijing, May 26 (Reporter Lu Mei) Recently, the Taiwanese epidemic has been severe. People on the island have called for vaccines from the mainland, but the DPP authorities have blocked the export of vaccines from the mainland to Taiwan in every possible way.

Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said in response to enquiry on the 26th that if the DPP authorities do this one more day, the precious opportunity for epidemic prevention will be delayed by one more day, and the people of Taiwan will be forced to pay more for their lives and health.

  The regular press conference of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council was held in Beijing on the same day, and reporters from both sides of the strait intensively asked questions about the issue of the mainland's vaccine delivery to Taiwan.

  Zhu Fenglian said that the heads of the Shanghai Medical and Health Development Foundation and the Jiangsu Cross-Strait Cultural Exchange Promotion Association have respectively expressed their willingness to donate a batch of new crown pneumonia vaccines to Taiwan compatriots to help alleviate their urgent needs and help strengthen epidemic prevention.

We support this and will actively assist, and we hope that the relevant parties in Taiwan will remove the obstacles to the delivery of these vaccines to Taiwan as soon as possible.

  Some reporters mentioned that for Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Company’s willingness to provide vaccines to Taiwan, Chen Shizhong, the head of the Taiwan authorities’ epidemic prevention department, said that “people from all walks of life speak frequently, but no application has been received.”

When Hon Hai Group and other pharmaceutical companies asked whether they could import the BNT vaccine represented by Fosun, Chen Shizhong said, "If you want, you will be formally contacted."

As for foreign vaccines, the DPP authorities said that they are "under negotiation and competition."

The DPP authorities prevaricate prevarication of vaccines from the mainland and take the initiative to contact foreign vaccines for procurement. The two attitudes are completely different.

  Zhu Fenglian pointed out that despite the spread of the epidemic on the island, the DPP authorities still ignore the serious shortage of vaccines on the island and ignore the eager expectations of Taiwan compatriots. They not only use various excuses to prevent the Taiwan people from using the mainland vaccine, but also Let the vaccines distributed by mainland companies enter Taiwan.

  Regarding the statement by the person in charge of Taiwan’s epidemic prevention department that “the confidence of the people in Taiwan is probably insufficient” for the mainland vaccine, Zhu Fenglian pointed out that the mainland vaccine is a safe, effective and high-quality vaccine.

On May 7, the World Health Organization approved the new coronavirus inactivated vaccine developed and produced by the Beijing Institute of Biological Products of Sinopharm Group to be included in the global "emergency list".

As of May 24, the mainland has reported more than 527 million doses of vaccinations against the new coronavirus.

  Zhu Fenglian said that despite the raging epidemic in Taiwan, the severe shortage of vaccines, and the people in Taiwan are eager to get vaccinated, the DPP authorities still block the importation of vaccines from the mainland to Taiwan in every possible way, which is entirely political intrigue.

Recently, many counties, cities, and private organizations on the island have called for Taiwanese people to use mainland vaccines as soon as possible, and surveys have shown that nearly half of Taiwanese people are willing to receive qualified vaccines immediately. These fully demonstrate the confidence of Taiwan people in mainland vaccines.

The DPP authorities turned a deaf ear to this and fabricated lies to discredit the mainland vaccine, which is essentially disregarding the lives and health of Taiwan compatriots.

  Regarding the mainland vaccine-related data that Taiwan reporters are concerned about, Zhu Fenglian said that Sinopharm Zhongsheng Beijing Company, Beijing Kexing Zhongwei Company, Kangsino Company and Sinopharm Zhongsheng Wuhan Company have all disclosed the main results of clinical trials of their research and development vaccines.

Sinopharm Zhongsheng has published the new coronavirus inactivated vaccine instructions on its website, which contains the main data analyzed during the third phase of clinical trials.

Taiwanese compatriots who need to know information about vaccines in the mainland can check on the websites of these companies for specific information.

  Zhu Fenglian said that Taiwanese compatriots are now under increasing pressure and harm from the epidemic. The latest poll shows that as many as 85 percent of Taiwanese people are worried about their family members being infected with the new crown virus, and nearly half of the people are willing to receive various qualified vaccines immediately.

The DPP authorities should put the lives and health of Taiwan compatriots as the most important thing, immediately stop political manipulation against the mainland, remove man-made political obstacles, and let the majority of Taiwan compatriots have the mainland vaccines available as soon as possible, so that they can tide over the difficulties as soon as possible.
