Long time no see. I want to use my poor english murmur again. hope you don’t mind. XD
First of all, I know that I haven't released art for a while. I'm still creating, but mainly based on original art. There are also some fanart in progress, which will be posted when I finish. btw I use Twitter account to post my art or fanart too, but I have been retweeting current affairs recently. lol
And I was unemployed because of the damn Wuhan pneumonia (aka covid-19).
(I'm considering whether to open a commission.)
Then I want to talk about something more serious.
This Wuhan pneumonia (aka covid-19) showed signs as early as December 2019. At that time, there was news that unknown pneumonia was spreading in China. Taiwan began to be alert and warned the WHO.
(Just in case someone doesn’t know that Taiwan and China are two different countries, but they have always wanted to invade us, claiming that we are part of China.)
Why is Taiwan alerting so quickly?
Because of the disaster that occurred 17 years ago, SARS outbreak, brought us too much pain. (I attach WIKI link here, you’re welcome.)
Taiwan is too close to China and has frequent contacts. The risk of infection is greater than in other countries. During that disaster, Taiwan lost many precious lives, including some medical personnel.
I will never forget that two hospitals in Taipei were blocked at that time, my cousin was a nurse in one of those hospitals, and one of her pregnant co-worker was infected with SARS and died. (Yes, she and the baby are both dead.) She is a good friend of my cousin and we used to hang out together.
At that time, WHO refused to allow Taiwan to join the WHO and WHA because of China interference. The China representative even humiliated us. When our reporter asked "Do you hear the needs of 23 million people in Taiwan?", he replied: "WHO refused it long ago. Who cares about you. (早就給拒絕了。誰理你們。)"
We have been suppressed by China and WHO for many years.
Our rapid response comes from our pain. We learn and build systems to prevent such disasters from happening again.
Now, we did everything we could. And we want to do our best to help the world, even if we are not a member of the WHO. All for one and one for all.
Like, we know that medical masks are good protective products, so we banned exports at the end of January and strived to increase production until it was sufficient for the whole country.
(Now we can donate 10 million medical masks to medical staff in countries around the world! maybe more! yay)
Taiwan is well aware that this war against disease requires everyone to work together to win. So, we also cooperate with the US government. (our medical, academic research and development are excellent.)
research and development of rapid tests
research and production of vaccines, medicines
contact tracing techniques and technology
joint conferences by scientists and experts
cooperation and exchanges of medical supplies and equipmen
#TaiwanCanHelp
Awesome, right?
But the China government has been spreading fake news online and around the world.
I know you are not East Asians, and it may be difficult to understand what is happening in Asia, what the China government has done.
But I hope you do not trust the China government and WHO too much.
Because of China government, WHO has been reluctant to respond quickly, causing the Wuhan pneumonia epidemic worldwide. Not only did they let WHO deceive the world, they also used their overseas forces to discredit Taiwan’s efforts.
As you see, WHO's Dr.Tedros claimed that Taiwan began attacking him 3 months ago.
No, we don't! Three months ago, Taiwan was holding a presidential election, and we were busy talking about politics. Many people didn't even know who he was at that time.
When WHO helped the China government to cover up the epidemic, and Taiwanese people began to criticize him and WHO. I believe there are many people in the world who criticize him and WHO when the epidemic spreads.
I can’t deny that some people in Taiwan have used N-word to criticize Dr.Tedros recently, but that’s just a personal act. Like, Asians in the United States have been attacked because they were mistaken for Chinese, do you also think that Americans are all racially discriminators? I don’t think so. There are such idiots all over the world, but everyone knows it can’t represent the whole country.
I was sad when I saw many celebrities supporting WHO, especially Hollywood. If you really care, you should have a comprehensive understanding, not because you hate Trump, so you should support him who he opposed.
Trump may not quick enough to respond to infectious diseases, and he wanted to cut the budget of CDC related units. Those can certainly be criticized, but this does not mean that WHO can support it. Can't you see WHO helping cover the epidemic?
The world does not work this way, it is not dualistic.
Anyway, I hope everyone can survive the epidemic safely.
And support the right thing. Make the world better.
Thank you for taking the time to read my murmur. love ya.
