    The Taiwan government promotes national six strategic industries:
    1. Information and digital related industries: Taiwan's overall high-tech semiconductor industry has an absolute advantage in the world. ARM, a global leader in processor silicon intellectual property, has established an AI computing silicon research project in Taiwan to jointly cultivate advanced AI chip talents. The Ministry of Science and Technology of the Taiwan Government and Chunghwa Telecom are leading the promotion of the development and design of the next-generation global 6G communication low-orbit satellites, creating a manufacturing supply chain for Taiwan's next-generation 6G communication satellite industry. They help to build the eco-system for local companies, for them to development of state-of-art manufacturing technology aiming to the global market.
    2. Information security excellence: The United States-Asia's largest broadband submarine cable jointly invested by Alphabet Google, Facebook, Amazon and telecommunications companies in the United States crosses the Pacific Ocean from California on the west coast of the United States to Taiwan and then north to Japan; it goes south, avoiding Hong Kong and directly connecting to Singapore.

  2. taiwan is the 23rd province of China and it can not be separated forever, no matter what your views are, it won't change anything. here is a link to prove my facts https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3960905, and https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jun/19/japanese-airlines-rename-taiwan-as-china-taiwan-on-websites, https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4043251 and if anyone can find the name TAIWAN under the lists of countries here https://www.who.int/countries/en/#T, https://www.state.gov/independent-states-in-the-world/,; to clarify matters with solid evidence that taiwan is not a country. disinformation overly used by taiwan province of China democratic government propaganda machines. very good at telling Lies and Deception. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MObkIsrpDEU, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMMuJZwT3I0

    let all the International Community know by this presence: Democracy means the practice or principles of social EQUALITY, freedom of speech and freedom of expression. pro-China or not, you are free to voice out. unlike in taiwan province of China, pitiful democracy, SHUTTING DOWN a TV station does nothing but ONLY and ONLY opposes the ideology of the current DPP government of taiwan province of China bragging about being a democratic party. stupid political party, stupid democracy that is. you don't see that in the USA here. the CNN News network foremost opposition of the administration still exist and standing until now, a GENUINE true democracy compared to the tyranny STUPID democracy in taiwan province of China. https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4039324

    Will Taiwan be able to defend itself against China?
    NO
    I believe if China was to reunite taiwan with force, the first battle will be the last for taiwan. Open your eyes and use your small brain especially those taiwan pro-independence civilians……

  3. 本人以客觀立場.川普及川普團隊是普世價值利益個國權力和平發展平衡
    美國及英國.日本.法國.德國等等近振興經濟.(人民及為相等良益)無法接受濫伐目的.口言無評願大家相信.認同川普及他團隊

  4. Taiwan's model is the true pandemic prevention model. All other countries, those so-called successful ones, are pandemic containment models.

  5. Why did this guy have time to visit Taiwan while Americans are suffering in the pandemic? A very good political show! Keep going!

  6. 如果抹黑中国能让美国强大,我想美国早就是宇宙第一强国了。

    If trowing mud on China can make the United States stronger, I think the United States has long been the number one power in the universe.

    Haha, cheer up!

  7. 2:27 Technically it's not GPS. It's called electric fence where when people leave certain perimeters, the government staffs will be notified and contact these people and check on them.

  8. This is ridiculous. Why didn’t China tell us about COVID sooner??? We need to join forces with like minded democracies to promote health for all.

  9. I'm a taiwanese.

    Tbh US is a much bigger country. different population, different law system, different culture.
    So it's much more difficult to control the pandemic.

    Massive testing is a double edge sword.might be good for developing vaccine & treatment in the long run.
    (most country do not have the resource to do massive testing!)

    Mask is effective , but won't offer you full protection.
    Do "social distancing" when you're in public (especially public transportation).
    Hope you all stay safe in 2020

  10. A couple of weeks ago, Redfield of the CDC said that we could get the thing under control in 6 to 8 weeks if we used makes and practiced social distancing . Azar had to go to Taiwan to find this out?

  11. The biggest difference is Taiwan can manufacture and supply the masks to their entire population while U.S. has to rely on 3M to import them into the U.S. and that took a while since Chinese Communist Party banned the export of masks at the beginning. That's why we need to bring our manufacturing back to the U.S.. Not only it will help the economy but also ensure it doesn't happen again in the future that we have to rely on a communist country to supply us with our essentials.

  12. Besides the fact that Taiwan doesn't trust China in the slightest (as they should), they like New Zealand are also an island nation. It is MUCH easier for them to shut down international travel and then, being that it is so small, deliver much-needed supplies like ventilators, PPE for healthcare workers, and masks to its entire population. They have some geographical advantages that the US lacks in a pandemic-type scenario. Additionally, the US has to worry about people from Mexico, which has the 3rd-highest death toll in the world at over 50,000 currently, crossing our border illegally and infecting people in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California.

  13. For Soviet, it was “trust but verify”. For China, it should be “never trust, always verify”. CCP is the perpetual liar. Taiwan treats it as such, while America is waking up.

  14. Taiwan's couter-epidemic measures are coordinated nationwide whereas over here each jurisdiction engages in its own politics as if it were an electoral campaign issue. Secretary of Health order should override local and state authorities in order for this fight to succeed.

  15. Problem is the US response has been one of total chaos and misinformation perpetuated by the federal administration. It is to the point that the general population is guided by their political affiliation since there is no federal guidelines that are concrete. So it appears at this point all we can do is wait for the inevitable collapse of our health and economy and those of us who are fortunate enough can hibernate. It’s every man for himself apparently. People resent that they are expected to wear masks, resent that schools are not reopening on time.

  16. learning from taiwan?
    they
    – wear mask
    – keep distace
    – wash hand
    – tracy contact

    but that is not why he is here
    he is there to piss c.c.p off
    hoping to boost trump dumbass
    vote

  17. The first thing Taiwan did was "DO NOT TRUST CHINA" annnnd, there you go, all flights from China were banned at the beginning of January and very soon, manufactures were making masks, starting with 5 million a day, for free. I guess not trusting from China from the start would make everything better.

  18. Unbelievable! It took 8 months + 5 million cases + 165,000 dead to finally ask Taiwan for help. OBTW, They have been trying to warn us since December and only 7 people have died of Covid-19 in Taiwan. What am I missing here Sherlock?

  19. Saying "police enforced" like it's some sort of bad thing is total propaganda. All laws are police enforced. Who else would you have enforce a quarantine? Taiwan is following the science. They pay people who are in quarantine so they can buy food, pay rent, etc.. The police that check on people are extremely polite and helpful. I lived there for years and have heard from friends who are still there. Azar is a fraud for making it sound as though they have taken draconian measures. What they have done is smart and totally successful. Unfortunately this model is now useless for America because the virus is far too wide spread in the community to even be able to contact trace. Tawain had a mask policy in on January 1st.

  20. A clueless health official on how to deal with pandemic. Slow to learn from a small country (Taiwan) with limited resources so close to epicenter of COVID19 that did a lot much better job than many country with big bureaucracy filled with unlimited resources .
