I always had a certain admiration for the Taiwanese, as representatives of true Chinese culture, untainted my Mao-ism.
It’s remarkable how well Taiwan’s countermeasures have paid off. I expect there’s a lot we’re going to learn from them in the coming weeks.
Thank you, Taiwan.
Nixon and Bush picked the wrong China to cozy up to.
Are they made in China?
had to go to hospital recently, and they had all kinds of masks, encouraged people to take them- woman told someone ‘take as many as you want- we have loads of them’-
Whoa. Where is Taiwan getting them from? The Governor of Puerto Rico?
We need goggles too. The virus can enter through our eyeballs.
nope, on day one, Taiwan administration knew people would make a run on masks, so a national team was formed and with the private enterprises to install many industrial machines to pump out enough masks for everyone, they are all made in Taiwan and currently the cheapest place in the world for surgical masks
Excellent.
I heard that the manufacturers in Taiwan are running 24/7 trying to make them to get them out to the US as quickly as they can.
> Thank you, Taiwan. <
Yep. This might be a good time for Trump to recognize Taiwan as a free and independent sovereign country. The ChiComs won’t like that. But who cares?
Thank you. You go, Taiwan. Fire up them goggle manufacturing plants, too, if you don’t mind.
I lived in Tainan, Taiwan from 1969 to 1971 while in High School when my Dad was stationed there in the Navy. I think of the people of Taiwan in much of the same way I think of the people of Israel. They are a proud and incredibly hard working people who are proving today they are an invaluable friend to this country and should never be taken for granted.
Thank you, Taiwan.
The mainland hates you anyways. You have nothing to lose.
Thy arent for you.
