為了避免1450說原po斷章取義，也避免每個人的英文見解不同我們直接整個新聞google機翻 : https://tinyurl.com/hyph3s3u How Taiwan’s struggle for Covid vaccines is inflaming tensions with China 台灣爭取新冠疫苗的鬥爭如何加劇與中國的緊張關係記者:Helen Davidson in Taipei As island faces new outbreak and mistrust of Chinese jabs, Beijing objects to donations from US and Japan 由於該島面臨新的爆發和對中國刺戳的不信任，北京反對美國和日本的捐款 Vaccines are the latest flashpoint inflaming cross-strait tensions between China and Taiwan, as the latter tries to fend off its worst coronavirus outbreak since the pandemic began with a mostly unvaccinated population and the former rails against outside assistance from Taipei’s allies. 疫苗是引發中國和台灣之間緊張局勢的最新爆發點，因為後者試圖抵禦自大流行開始以來最嚴重的冠狀病毒爆發，當時人口大多未接種疫苗，而前者則反對台北盟友的外部援助。 Global vaccination drives are widely seen as the only way out of the Covid-19 pandemic, but in Taiwan, just 3% of the population has received at least one dose. Now the island is battling hundreds of cases a day and does not have enough vaccines for its 23.5 million people. 全球疫苗接種運動被廣泛視為擺脫 Covid-19 大流行的唯一途徑，但在台灣，只有 3% 的人口至少接種過一劑疫苗。現在該島每天要與數百例病例作鬥爭，並且沒有足夠的疫苗供其 2350 萬人使用。 Affected by global shortages, low initial orders, and accusations of geopolitical interference, it has received only a few million doses, and international allies are stepping up to help. 受全球缺貨、初始訂單低、被指責地緣政治干擾等影響，只收到了幾百萬劑，國際盟友正在加緊提供幫助。 On 4 June, Japan sent a plane carrying 1.24m AstraZeneca doses and days later a delegation of US senators flew to Taipei to announce a donation of 750,000 doses. 6 月 4 日，日本派出一架載有 124 萬劑阿斯利康（AstraZeneca）劑量的飛機，幾天后，美國參議員代表團飛往台北，宣布捐贈 75 萬劑阿斯利康（AstraZeneca）。 Both countries cited their close friendship with Taiwan and noted, respectively, Taiwan’s assistance to Japan after the 2011 tsunami and to the US early in the pandemic. The donations were enthusiastically welcomed by Taipei, with huge messages of thanks projected on to buildings in the city. 兩國都提到了與台灣的密切友誼，並分別提到了台灣在 2011 年海嘯後對日本和大流行初期對美國的援助。這些捐款受到台北的熱烈歡迎，並在這座城市的建築物上投射出巨大的感謝信息。 Beijing strongly objected. China’s foreign ministry suggested Japan was exploiting the pandemic “to put on political shows”, and accused the US of breaching the “one-China” principle, which asserts that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. 北京強烈反對。中國外交部暗示日本利用疫情“擺弄政治秀”，指責美國違反“一個中國”原則，即台灣是中國不可分割的一部分。 Both donations showed how much less Tokyo and Washington worry about aggravating Beijing, amid deteriorating relations. Drew Thompson, a former US defence department official responsible for managing bilateral relations with China and Taiwan, said it was probably a logistical coincidence that Japan’s vaccines arrived on the hypersensitive anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, and that the US senators flew in on a military plane. But previous administrations in Tokyo and Washington might have ensured they didn’t. 這兩筆捐款都表明，在兩國關係惡化的情況下，東京和華盛頓對激怒北京的擔憂減少了多少。負責管理與中國和台灣雙邊關係的前美國國防部官員德魯·湯普森表示，日本的疫苗在天安門廣場大屠殺的敏感週年紀念日抵達，而美國參議員乘坐軍用飛機抵達，這可能是後勤巧合。飛機。但東京和華盛頓的前任政府可能已經確保他們沒有。 “The donations were less about the China relationship than they were about helping Taiwan,” Thompson said. “[Japan and the US] have a vested interest in supporting Taiwan. Taiwan is a major trading partner, a critical supply chain link, there’s Japanese expats in Taiwan, there’s strong affinity between two cultures. “捐款與其說是為了幫助台灣，不如說是為了幫助台灣，”湯普森說。 “[日本和美國] 支持台灣有既得利益。台灣是主要的貿易夥伴，重要的供應鏈環節，台灣有日本僑民，兩種文化之間有很強的親和力。 “Japan is really doing this because it’s in their interest to keep the population of Taiwan healthy,” he said, also citing Taiwan’s globally crucial semiconductor manufacturing. “日本真的這樣做是因為保持台灣人口的健康符合他們的利益，”他說，還引用了台灣在全球至關重要的半導體製造業。 “You’re not supporting Taiwan just to antagonise China, and that gets lost a lot in these conversations.” “你支持台灣不是為了對抗中國，這在這些對話中會丟失很多。” Chinese jabs would be political ‘kiss of death’ Beijing says it has the answer to Taiwan’s problems, offering to supply vaccines to the government or – after Taiwan rejected that offer – directly to any resident who wants to fly to China for a jab. 中國刺戳將是政治“死亡之吻” 北京表示它有解決台灣問題的辦法，可以向政府提供疫苗，或者——在台灣拒絕該提議後——直接向任何想要飛往中國進行疫苗接種的居民提供疫苗。 China’s altruistic statements have been somewhat contradicted by its objections to the US and Japan donations, and by Taiwanese allegations (which China denies) that it actively blocked a deal Taiwan was working on with the German vaccine producer BioNTech. 中國反對美國和日本的捐贈，以及台灣指控（中國否認）積極阻止台灣與德國疫苗生產商 BioNTech 達成的一項交易，這與中國的利他言論有些矛盾。 “One of the major obstacles for Taiwan to obtain vaccines from foreign sources, such as BNT or even Covax, is indeed the Chinese government,” said Prof Wen-Tsong Chiou, the director of Academica Sinica’s information law centre. “台灣從 BNT 甚至 Covax 等外國來源獲得疫苗的主要障礙之一確實是中國政府，”中央研究院信息法中心主任邱文宗教授說。 Beijing considers Taiwan to be a breakaway province of China that must be retaken, by force if necessary. Under this constant existential threat, Taiwan ’s government and population has low trust in Chinese vaccines. 北京認為台灣是中國的一個分離省份，必須在必要時以武力收復。在這種持續存在的威脅下，台灣政府和民眾對中國疫苗的信任度很低。 If Taiwan accepted Chinese vaccines it would be the political “kiss of death for the DPP [Taiwan’s ruling party]”, Thompson said. “It’s quite likely China would take some sort of gratuitous swipe … see it as a capitulation or recognition of Beijing’s superiority.” 湯普森說，如果台灣接受中國疫苗，這將是“民進黨[台灣執政黨]的政治“死亡之吻”。 “中國很可能會採取某種無緣無故的掠奪……將其視為對北京優勢的投降或承認。” China said Fosun – the Shanghai-based manufacturer with exclusive regional production rights for Pfizer/BioNTech – had offered to supply Taiwan, but Taiwan had refused. 中國表示，擁有輝瑞/BioNTech 獨家區域生產權的上海製造商復星曾提出向台灣供貨，但台灣拒絕了。 Thompson said there were scientific and transparency concerns about China’s vaccines, which made it unsurprising and potentially sensible for Taiwan to reject an offer of Chinese-developed vaccines. But if the Fosun offer is legitimate, refusing it is “entirely political”. 湯普森說，中國的疫苗存在科學和透明度方面的擔憂，這使得台灣拒絕提供中國開發的疫苗並不奇怪，而且可能是明智的。但如果復星的提議是合法的，拒絕它“完全是政治性的”。 “Pfizer and BioNTech have a huge incentive to ensure that the Fosun product is equivalent, so I would think there is no concern,” he said. “There’s no reason not to take it.” “輝瑞和 BioNTech 有巨大的動力來確保復星的產品是等效的，所以我認為沒有問題，” 他說。 “沒有理由不接受它。” Polling has shown Taiwanese people are largely opposed to receiving a Chinese-made vaccine, but not necessarily to a foreign vaccine produced in China, like the Fosun/BioNtech one. 民意調查顯示，台灣人在很大程度上反對接受中國製造的疫苗，但不一定反對在中國生產的外國疫苗，例如復星/BioNtech。 The push for domestic vaccines Approval ratings for Taiwan’s president, Tsai Ing-wen, have plummeted from more than 70% to about 40% in the 12 months since her re-election, and her government is taking political heat for the outbreak and the vaccine shortage. 推動國產疫苗台灣總統蔡英文的支持率在她連任後的 12 個月內從超過 70% 暴跌至約 40%，而她的政府正因疫情爆發和疫苗短缺而受到政治熱潮。 Before the current outbreak in Taiwan, so few members of priority groups were booking shots that authorities briefly opened vaccination up to the general population. But now community appetite is bigger than available supplies. 在台灣目前的疫情爆發之前，很少有優先群體的成員預訂疫苗，以至於當局短暫地向普通人群開放了疫苗接種。但是現在社區的胃口比可用的供應量大。 The health minister, Chen Shih-chung, said Taiwan hoped to have 60% of the population receive at least one shot by October – a target that requires about 12m doses and depends on no more delayed orders and on the production of domestic vaccines. 衛生部長陳時中表示，台灣希望在 10 月之前讓 60% 的人口至少接受一次注射——這一目標需要約 1200 萬劑，並且取決於不再延遲的訂單和國內疫苗的生產。 On Thursday, Chen said Taiwan had held talks with AstraZeneca to produce its vaccine but that the talks had fallen through. He previously said Taiwan was in talks with US companies about making their vaccines, though he did not name them. 週四，陳說台灣與阿斯利康就生產疫苗進行了談判，但談判已經失敗。他此前曾表示，台灣正在與美國公司就生產疫苗進行談判，但他沒有透露這些公司的名字。 Last week, a member of Taiwan’s vaccine review board who had recently resigned accused Tsai of putting undue pressure on the panel to approve domestic vaccines still in trial stage, when she publicly announced she expected doses to be available by July. 上週，一位最近辭職的台灣疫苗審查委員會成員指責蔡對委員會施加過度壓力，要求批准仍處於試驗階段的國產疫苗，當時她公開宣布她預計將在 7 月前提供疫苗。 Under pressure, the government has said private organisations can import vaccines, though this is yet to happen and the offer is complicated by the fact that most vaccine manufacturers prefer to deal directly with governments. 迫於壓力，政府表示私人組織可以進口疫苗，儘管這尚未發生，而且由於大多數疫苗製造商更願意直接與政府打交道，這一提議變得複雜。 The opposition Kuomintang party and several politicians at the local county level have sought to capitalise on the vaccine difficulties, leading to political slanging matches. But Lev Nachman, a visiting scholar at the National Taiwan University, said it still seemed “in the DPP’s electoral interest not to get any China vaccines”. 反對黨國民黨和地方縣級的幾位政客試圖利用疫苗的困難，導致政治上的謾罵。但國立台灣大學訪問學者列夫納赫曼表示，“不獲得任何中國疫苗似乎仍然符合民進黨的選舉利益”。 Vaccine doses are being steadily administered to priority groups, and a domestic vaccine candidate announced it would seek emergency approval on Thursday. Nachman said these developments might keep the DPP’s head above the political water, but if not, the question of accepting Chinese vaccines could become more realistic. 疫苗劑量正在穩步給予優先群體，國內候選疫苗宣布將在周四尋求緊急批准。納赫曼表示，這些事態發展可能會使民進黨的頭腦高於政治，但如果不是，接受中國疫苗的問題可能會變得更加現實。 It would be foolish to say no, but it would be a measure of last resort,” Nachman said. 拒絕是愚蠢的，但這將是最後的手段，”納赫曼說。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 218.35.142.15 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Gossiping/M.1623673107.A.7D4.html
