250萬劑的莫德納疫苗順利抵台,這是令人安慰的好消息。
我們誠摯的感謝美國對台灣嚴峻的疫情伸出援手。台灣人民過去這段時間強力發聲,「我們的民怨與民意表達台灣需要疫苗的聲音,國際社會聽到了」
這次的疫情下,我們已經有超過500位的國人喪生,同時也代表有超過500個家庭因此破碎,美國給予台灣250萬劑的疫苗,保護超過百萬的國人,雪中送碳,讓國人感動,由衷感謝。
250萬劑的莫德納疫苗,得來不易。政府應該做好在施打上的妥善規劃,應事先與地方政府、第一線施打的單位做好協調溝通,不要再發生施打上混亂的狀況。
足夠有效的疫苗是疫情中唯一的解決方案,台灣至少需要3000萬劑的疫苗,我們目前已經獲得485萬劑,仍有長足需要努力的空間。
🔺民進黨不應該持續對外釋放我們不需要疫苗的錯誤印象。
台灣疫苗取得迄今是別人捐贈的高於我們自己購買的,這源自於民進黨給國際社會錯誤的訊息。
例如,在國會表決中,民進黨否決了台灣應加速採購國際疫苗的提案,又例如,陳時中部長向日本表達,「若要進來要早啦,晚就沒意思」,再例如,駐美代表蕭美琴,對外公開發言,國人疫苗施打意願不高。
這些與民意完全互相違背的聲音,持續出現在執政黨的官員、民意代表中,錯誤的資訊,讓世界誤判台灣的需求。
由國民黨發起的「台灣需要疫苗」「Taiwan Needs Vaccines」取代民進黨所稱「台灣不需要疫苗」的錯誤印象,才讓國際社會認識台灣民意的真正走向。
🔺從日本經驗複製到民間採購、再到今天的美國致贈疫苗,說明三件事。
第一、國際上有疫苗,政府就應該去爭取,執政黨不應該在國會就扼殺8月底3000萬劑的目標。
第二、台灣過去在民主世界的努力,與幫助世界的實力,結交了許多朋友,現在「幫助台灣,就是幫助世界」,這才是民進黨應該向世界說明的。
第三、國產疫苗未經3期臨床試驗,未獲國際認證,不要讓人民當白老鼠,蔡政府應該爭取更多國際認證疫苗,爭取時間讓國產疫苗經過三期試驗完成國際認證。
國民黨扮演在野黨的角色,對防疫的建議,從來都是為了台灣的好。防疫不分朝野,病毒是我們唯一的敵人,倘若輸給病毒,藍綠都不會是贏家,蔡總統應該慎重思考。

2.5 million doses of Moderna vaccine landed smoothly on Taiwan; this good news is comforting. We sincerely thank the US for lending a helping hand to Taiwan during this grim time of pandemic.
During this pandemic, we have already lost over 500 compatriots. By giving Taiwan 2.5 million doses of vaccine, the US is protecting over a million of our compatriots.
A sufficient supply of effective vaccines is the only way to overcome the pandemic. Taiwan needs at least 30 million doses of vaccine; at the moment, we have acquired only 4.85 million doses. There’s still a long way to go.
Thus far, Taiwan has acquired more vaccines from donations than from purchasing on our own. This originates from the DPP giving the international community erroneous information that we don’t need vaccines.
It was only because the KMT launched the slogan “Taiwan Needs Vaccines” that the international community recognized the true direction of the Taiwanese people’s will.
Today, I must note three items of importance:
1) If there are foreign vaccines available, the government should fight for them.
2) Taiwan’s past efforts in the democratic world and the strength of the assistance it provided to the world won Taiwan friends. Now, “Helping Taiwan is Saving the World” should be what the DPP explains to the world.
3) Domestically produced vaccines have not undergone phase three clinical trials and these vaccine candidates have yet to obtain international verification. Instead of using the people as lab rats, the Tsai administration should fight for acquisition of more internationally verified vaccines and thus buy some time for domestically produced vaccines to go through phase three trials in order to obtain international verification.
Pandemic prevention affects all levels of society; our only enemy is the virus. If we lose to the virus, neither Blue nor Green is the winner. President Tsai would do well to carefully reflect on this.

【寫稿嗰位好厲害:香港的悲劇】
Donald Trump記者會全程對着屏幕讀稿,一字不漏兼不答問題,是要將環環緊扣的信息準確傳遞。香港部分本身是一篇完整的發言,新聞標題一定會引用「一國一制」那一句,但我認為全篇是圍繞着「香港的悲劇」這個主題發展的。
第一段:Several of the most significant actions we’re taking pertain to deeply troubling situations unfolding in Hong Kong. This week, China unilaterally impose control over Hong Kong security. This was a plain violation of Beijing’s treaty obligations with the United Kingdom in the Declaration of 1984 and explicit provisions of Hong Kong’s basic law. It has 27 years to go. The Chinese government’s move against Hong Kong is the latest in a series of measures that are diminishing the city’s longstanding and very proud status. This is a tragedy for the people of Hong Kong, the people of China, and indeed the people of the world.
分析:第一段在稍為交代國安法的背景後,直指北京違反了有效期尚有27年的《中英聯合聲明》和《基本法》,而北京對香港的侵犯是持續不斷的。那是香港人的悲劇、中國人的悲劇和世人的悲劇。悲劇不單有悲哀的意思,更重要是指逃不過的宿命。這段的深意是:1984年簽署《中英聯合聲明》,本意是為香港人、中國人以至世人帶來好前景(尾二一段會再解釋),卻因為中共的專政本質,令香港走向死亡的宿命。
第二段:China claims it is protecting national security, but the truth is that Hong Kong was secure and prosperous as a free society. Beijing’s decision reverses all of that. It extends the reach of China’s invasive state security apparatus into what was formerly a bastion of Liberty. China’s latest incursion, along with other recent developments that degraded the territory’s freedoms, makes clear that Hong Kong is no longer sufficiently autonomous to warrant the special treatment that we have afforded the territory since the handover.
分析:這段的關鍵字是"bastion of liberty"(自由保壘),指的是在中共上台後,香港作為英國殖民地,一直是中共「竹幕」前的西方自由世界橋頭堡。香港的安全與繁榮皆建基於與中共截然不同的自由社會,自由社會過去依靠西方的政治力量支撐,1997後權力平衡打破,自由社會便被中共逐步入侵,令香港失去自治。第一句"China claims it is protecting national security, but the truth is that Hong Kong was secure and prosperous as a free society"很精簡地點出中共和香港迥異的立場,可用來回應藍絲。
第三、四段:China has replaced its promise formula of one country, two systems, with one country, one system. Therefore, I am directing my administration to begin the process of eliminating policy exemptions that give Hong Kong different and special treatment. My announcement today will affect the full range of agreements we have with Hong Kong, from our extradition treaty to our export controls on dual use technologies and more, with few exceptions. We will be revising the state department’s travel advisory for Hong Kong to reflect the increased danger of surveillance and punishment by the Chinese state security apparatus.
We will take action to revoke Hong Kong’s preferential treatment as a separate customs and travel territory from the rest of China. The United States will also take necessary steps to sanction PRC and Hong Kong officials directly or indirectly involved in eroding Hong Kong’s autonomy and just, if you take a look, smothering, absolutely smothering Hong Kong’s freedom. Our actions will be strong, our actions will be meaningful.
分析:這兩段是講具體打算做什麼。最弔詭的是,有別於美國過去作為世界警察解放呢個解放嗰個,講辭沒有說到這些措施是為了什麼而做,亦沒有說想達成什麼目的,連條件都沒有開。講稿沒有寫,因為那是「不好說的真相」(inconvenient truth)。當中共專政背約,香港的宿命就是死,美國不能繼續讓中共借香港被給予的特殊地位佔便宜。美國知道這些措施尤如隔山打牛,對北京傷害有限,首先死的肯定是香港,但那是美中全面攤牌前必須撇清的第一步。美國不會像保護台灣那樣保護香港,他們能對香港做的,就是陪中共加速攬炒。"Our actions will be strong, our actions will be meaningful."好像是廢話,但也令人聽出弦外之音。
第五段:More than two decades ago on a rainy night in 1997, British soldiers lowered the Union flag and Chinese soldiers raised the Chinese flag in Hong Kong. The people of Hong Kong felt simultaneously proud of their Chinese heritage and their unique Hong Kong identity. The people of Hong Kong hoped that in the years and decades to come, China would increasingly come to resemble it’s most radiant and dynamic city. The rest of the world was electrified by a sense of optimism that Hong Kong was a glimpse into China’s future, not that Hong Kong would grow into a reflection of China’s past.
分析:回到開首的悲劇主題。為何我們目睹的是香港、中國以至世界的悲劇?因為在八十年代香港前途談判以及九十年代初美國通過《香港政策法》時,香港這座自由保壘曾經被寄予改變中國的使命。從美國看來,香港原是自由中國的未來,自由中國的未來是世界的未來;結果事情往相反方向發展,中共發展出高效黨國資本主義,令專制更強大和具合法性,並壓抑不住擴張的欲望,一步步吞噬香港、吞噬台灣,最終將中國式專制輸出全世界。
第六段:In every decision, I will continue to proudly defend and protect the workers, families, and citizens of the United States of America. Thank you very much. Thank you.
分析:美國在動手術將香港切割時,必定傷害到美國在香港以及中國的利益。美國政府能做的是減少過程中對美國工人、家庭和公民的傷害。香港人要靠自己捱過未來的黑暗時期了。
短短幾段字,透露了香港的前世今生,美國忍痛告別藉香港與中國共舞的好日子,迎向未知的爭霸年代。寫稿嗰位很厲害,但讀稿嗰個會否中途變卦就冇人知。
