Dr. Twu Shiing-jer, one of Taiwan’s top public health officials, spoke out against the Chinese regime’s reported blocking of Taiwan from purchasing COVID-19 vaccines from the German biotechnology firm BioNTech in an interview with The Epoch Times on May 28.

Twu, chairman of Taiwan’s Development Center for Biotechnology and former health minister of Taiwan, compared authoritarian China’s reported interference in Taiwan’s vaccine purchases to its blocking of Taiwan from attending the annual meeting of the World Health Assembly (WHA), which began this week. “This is completely the same [as the] WHA,” he stated. “China never cares about the health of Taiwan or the health of the whole world.”
