China News Service, June 16th. The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference on the 16th. In response to the "DPP authorities' refusal to introduce vaccines from the mainland", spokesman Ma Xiaoguang said that the DPP authorities removed the politics of the mainland's vaccine importing to Taiwan as early as possible. Obstacles, the lives, health and safety of people on the island can be guaranteed one day earlier.

"Is human life important, or is political calculation important? This is in the mind of the DPP authorities."

　　At the meeting, a reporter asked questions about the continuing spread of the epidemic on the island, with the death rate of confirmed patients exceeding 3%, which is higher than the global average. At present, people from all walks of life on the island are calling for the deregulation of counties and cities and private purchase of vaccines, but the DPP authorities are right. The private and business communities set many restrictions on vaccine procurement and insisted on refusing to introduce vaccines from mainland China.

Does the spokesperson have any comments on this?

　　Ma Xiaoguang said that we attach great importance to the lives, health and safety of Taiwan compatriots.

After the outbreak on the island, we have stated from the beginning that we are willing to do our utmost to help Taiwan compatriots respond to the epidemic as quickly as possible. We have repeatedly expressed that we will make vaccines available to Taiwan compatriots as soon as possible, and we are willing to provide Taiwan compatriots with safe and efficient vaccines.

　　Ma Xiaoguang said that in the past month, some political parties, counties, cities, organizations and individuals on the island have repeatedly called for the opening of the introduction of vaccines from mainland China or the purchase of Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Group's participation in the research and development and agency of the German Baintech company (BNT) mRNA new crown vaccine. .

The DPP authorities still refuse to introduce vaccines from the mainland.

For Taiwan's civilian imports of vaccines, obstacles are constantly being set up, through cumbersome procedures and demanding requirements.

This kind of "dragging the word trick" has made it difficult for some counties and cities, the private sector, and the business community to purchase vaccines. The vast majority of Taiwan compatriots still cannot use vaccines when they are most needed.

　　Ma Xiaoguang emphasized that in stark contrast, as of June 14, the mainland had received more than 900 million doses of vaccine.

The two vaccines approved by the World Health Organization, Sinopharm and Kexing, have been approved for marketing or emergency use in more than 90 countries and regions, and have supplied more than 350 million doses globally, fully demonstrating that the mainland vaccine has good safety and protection.

　　People can't help asking, why are the people of different races and skin colors all over the world using vaccines, but the blood-linked Taiwan compatriots are deprived of the right to use it?

Is it that manipulating cross-strait confrontation and seeking one-party self-interest is more important than the lives, health and safety of the people?

In the face of the harsh reality, more and more Taiwan compatriots realize that the foreign powers that the DPP authorities have turned to at the time of crisis do not take the interests and well-being of the Taiwanese people seriously.

The DPP authorities will remove the political obstacles to the importation of vaccines from the mainland to Taiwan as soon as possible, and the lives and health of the people on the island will be guaranteed as soon as possible.

　　The reporter also asked questions. The person in charge of the Taiwan epidemic prevention department said that the island’s enterprises need an "original authorization letter" to purchase German BNT vaccines. Can Taiwan, including private individuals and enterprises, purchase BNT vaccines from Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Group can obtain an "original authorization letter"? ?

　　Ma Xiaoguang said that after the outbreak on the island, Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Group expressed its willingness to provide the BNT vaccine that it participated in the research and development and agency of the BNT vaccine to serve the people of Taiwan.

It is understood that if groups and enterprises on the island purchase the BNT vaccine they represent from Fosun, the Fosun Pharmaceutical Group will perform its responsibilities and obligations based on commercial agreements upon consensus.

　　Ma Xiaoguang emphasized that the current epidemic situation on the island continues to spread and patient deaths are increasing.

Only by vaccinating safe, efficient and sufficient vaccines as soon as possible can the island's people's immune barrier be established as soon as possible.

The latest polls on the island show that 63% of Taiwanese people are in favor of purchasing BNT vaccines through mainland agents.

Is human life important, or is political calculation important?

This is in the mind of the DPP authorities.

　　Some reporters quoted reports and asked questions. The relevant person in charge of the Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Group stated at the shareholders meeting that they would also actively provide vaccines to Taiwan. Whether Taiwan private or official purchase of German BNT vaccines, they must pass Shanghai Fosun.

Chen Shizhong, head of Taiwan's epidemic prevention department, said, "Fosun does have agency rights and hopes not to interfere with Taiwan's procurement."

Any comment on this?

　　Ma Xiaoguang responded that the relevant person in charge of the Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Group has already publicly stated that he is willing to serve the vaccine to Taiwan compatriots, and has introduced the company's relevant commercial rights and interests.

Taiwan media have also made extensive reports on this.

　　It is understood that some counties, cities and enterprises on the island have recently negotiated with Fosun about purchasing vaccines.

We are happy to see Taiwanese compatriots being able to use the vaccine represented by Fosun as soon as possible.

The DPP authorities should create favorable conditions for this. The person in charge of the relevant agency in Taiwan still baselessly accuses Fosun and speaks bad words, which is actually a disguised obstruction.

　　Another question from the media was that during the Dragon Boat Festival that just passed, Taiwan compatriots in mainland China were particularly willing to vaccinate against the new crown. We also heard feedback from some Taiwan compatriots that this is the best "wellness gift" the mainland has given to Taiwan compatriots.

Please tell us about the situation of Taiwanese compatriots vaccinated against the new coronavirus in mainland China so far.

　　Ma Xiaoguang pointed out that since mid-April this year, vaccinations for Taiwan compatriots living on the mainland have been started successively in accordance with the principle of equal treatment.

According to incomplete statistics, as of May 31, 62,000 Taiwanese in mainland China have been vaccinated according to relevant policies with voluntary and informed consent.

Active registration for vaccination fully demonstrates the Taiwan compatriots' trust in the safety and effectiveness of vaccines in mainland China.

　　The media asked that after the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council announced its willingness to help Taiwan compatriots vaccinate the mainland, we received some inquiries from friends on the island. If Taiwan compatriots come to the mainland for vaccinations, can they be quickly arranged?

Please introduce the spokesperson.

　　Ma Xiaoguang said that since the outbreak of the Taiwan epidemic, we have seen the spread of the epidemic on the island, the shortage of vaccines, and the death of people from the epidemic every day. We immediately expressed our willingness to make arrangements quickly to provide Taiwan compatriots with vaccines from the mainland and support private organizations to provide Taiwan with vaccines. Compatriots donate vaccines.

However, the DPP authorities have used various excuses to obstruct, refuse, and even openly discredit the mainland vaccine.

　　He continued that we fully understand the needs and wishes of many people on the island who wish to be vaccinated on the mainland and are willing to do our utmost to provide assistance.

For Taiwanese compatriots coming to the mainland on civil airline passenger flights, as long as they meet the vaccination requirements, they can be vaccinated in the mainland according to relevant policies under the strict implementation of the entry and epidemic prevention regulations (including before and after boarding), and with voluntary and informed consent.

　　The reporter continued to ask that more and more Taiwan compatriots now hope that they can have more flexible supporting measures when they come to the mainland for vaccination. For example, set up vaccination zones at Shanghai and Xiamen airports, do not need to enter the quarantine, and they can return after vaccination.

For another example, you can take Taiwan compatriots to the mainland for vaccinations through chartered flights and group groups.

What is the spokesperson's attitude towards such a policy call?

　　Ma Xiaoguang said that the current epidemic on the island continues to spread, the death toll has continued to increase, and the death rate has continued to rise, but the DPP authorities still stubbornly reject the mainland vaccine.

Under such circumstances, some Taiwan compatriots have such suggestions, and we can understand their feelings.

　　Ma Xiaoguang said that taking into account the needs of Taiwan compatriots, we issued a written press release on June 11, and we are willing to make proper arrangements for Taiwan compatriots who take a civil airline passenger flight to the mainland for vaccinations.

As long as they meet the vaccination requirements, they can be vaccinated in mainland China in accordance with relevant policies under the strict implementation of entry and epidemic prevention regulations (including before boarding and after arrival), and with voluntary and informed consent.

　　Ma Xiaoguang mentioned that at present, nucleic acid testing and isolation are the basic prevention and control strategies commonly used in various countries and regions, aiming to screen out infected cases and block the spread of the virus.

According to regulations, all foreign immigrants are required to undergo nucleic acid testing and quarantine after arriving in the mainland.

This is an approach that is responsible for the crew and passengers, and it is also an approach that is responsible for the lives, health and safety of compatriots on both sides of the strait.

　　In response to the suggestions mentioned by the reporter, Ma Xiaoguang pointed out that it is difficult to avoid cases of infection, causing all personnel on the same plane to be quarantined.

If even one infected case and a close contact are omitted, it will cause a breach in the epidemic prevention on both sides, which is not in the common interest of compatriots on both sides of the strait.

Therefore, we still follow the relevant mainland policies. Although it may increase some time and costs, it will do a good job.
