(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council urges the DPP authorities to remove political obstacles to the import of vaccines from mainland China to Taiwan as soon as possible

  China News Service, Beijing, June 16 (Reporter Chen Xiaoyuan) Ma Xiaoguang, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said at a regular press conference held in Beijing on the 16th that the DPP authorities removed the political obstacles to the mainland’s vaccine delivery to Taiwan as early as possible. People's lives, health and safety can be guaranteed one day sooner.

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

After the outbreak on the island, the mainland has expressed its willingness to do its utmost to assist Taiwan compatriots in responding to the epidemic as quickly as possible. They have repeatedly stated that they will make vaccines available to Taiwan compatriots as soon as possible, and are willing to provide Taiwan compatriots with safe and efficient vaccines.

  He pointed out that in the past month, some political parties, counties, cities, organizations and individuals on the island have continuously 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, and continue to artificially set up obstacles to the import of vaccines from Taiwan's civilian population, and set up cards 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 said that in sharp 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 them? Is it to manipulate cross-strait confrontation and seek one-party self-interest than the people's life and health. Is it more important?” Ma Xiaoguang pointed out that in the face of the harsh reality, more and more Taiwan compatriots realize that the foreign powers that the DPP authorities rely on do not take the interests and well-being of the Taiwanese people seriously.

  He also said that the Dragon Boat Festival that had just passed was a festival for Chinese people on both sides of the strait to pray for happiness and well-being.

However, in Taiwan, the people lamented "the life and death of the Dragon Boat Festival are boundless".

The DPP authorities put their own political self-interest above the lives of the people, rejected the mainland vaccines that were in front of them, and continued to "paint cakes to satisfy their hunger" for the people of Taiwan.

They turned their crimes into punishments for the people of Taiwan, which caused anger and resentment among the people on the island. It is not surprising that they "want to leave together".

  Regarding Taiwanese people vaccinating imported vaccines, whether the mainland will adopt the effectiveness of these vaccines, Ma Xiaoguang said, whether to change epidemic prevention measures due to vaccination is a professional question. WHO experts reminded that there is currently no evidence that people who have been vaccinated are no longer at risk of spreading the virus, and those who have been vaccinated also need to take the same protective measures. Professional issues will still be evaluated by professionals in the future. (Finish)
