Nah. All a bit crap except for that eclipse last night.

We should just outlaw allowing to have exclusive distribution rights for practically anything in the first placeā¦but then strange laws in Greater China (mainland China and Taiwan) such as having āpartnershipsā forbid it.
Yes, thatās what an AIT director and other diplomats should do. They should love the country where they are serving (and I think most of the time they genuinely do). The ādigsā (again which I agree with) are from the above post which I quoted.
Maybe the article was poorly written. Maybe the AIT directorās comments were poorly reported on. But I really went away after reading it with a feeling that the AIT director was a bit cold toward Taiwan.

7: What do you mean registered the vaccine here? They havenāt taken the steps to sell it here?
The rest just seems like business as usual. Iām sure FOSUN will or wonāt sell it as the govāt decrees, but thereās no blame for Germany or Biontech. Why is the focus on them anyway? There are other companies to deal with.
CSZ is explaining what went down with the FOSUN Biontech deal in the presser now. Stop shooting blanks here and listenā¦
The point Iām making is that some of the āpreventionā measures are just theatrical, like taking screening for peopleās temperature on a hot day.
Taiwan will not beat the virus untill Level 4 lockdown is in place in places like Taipei, New Taipei.
Banqiao traditional market was PACKED with people on Tuesday afternoon. This place should be closed down, this is the place where covid jumps from one person to anotherā¦ Why government cannot see that??

It looks like exclusivity is/was key here.

Yes, they havent been through the process of testing and registering in Taiwan. Which they cant, as they are a Chinese company. Basically they intentionally bought the rights to fuck over Taiwan
Biontech could not have sold Taiwan distribution to a Chinese company, so there is a little blame in there
By criticizing starting to wear masks. Ok, got it. Now I know how much to respect your opinion.

They can. This is why there are things like regional hq.
A lot of infections start with the eyes, and I figure even if it doesnāt help that much it doesnāt hurt either. Besides it has the added bonus of keeping sweat and dust out of my eyes.

Did I ever criticize wearing masks? Read between the lines.
Hence, thereās politics involved, and itās not free trade.
Money is money, thatās what they do. Taiwan didnāt buy distribution rights, so they sold it to someone else.
Do we know they didnāt sell āGreater Chinaā rights as part of the deal to distribute in China, if they are doing so? āGreater Chinaā could have been a stipulation of the deal. Business is politics in China, so thatās par for the course.
And has Taiwan requested that FOSUN register to distribute here, or are they refusing to do so?

Iāve seen other people take the total number of notifications minus ( excluded + confirmed), so thatās what Iām doing. And itās coming out to be the number reported by others, including Bloomberg.
Itās Chinese politics. The company does what makes money. They donāt care where they get it from. They just want to keep the stock holders happy.
Thereās reason to believe that what Taiwan will experience will be like what other countries have experienced with COVID
The cat is out of the bag so to speak
The germ is beginning its
Onslaught and it wonāt get better until
It gets worse most likely
But that doesnāt mean there should be panic
This virus is survivable for the vast majority
Most without serious issues
