a global pandemic came from new hon china that was characterized by a lack of transparency and a lack of international cooperation by the chinese communist party. today, in dramatic contrast, the united states is leading international relief efforts in an open and cooperative spirit with our friends and partners and allies. well, taiwan was initially seen as one of the pandemic success stories last year went more than 8 months without any domestic transmission. but he's recently had a surgeon infections and death. fewer than 3 percent of the islands, 23000000 people have been vaccinated. taiwan has signed contracts for doses of the astrazeneca and were during a shots, bodies accused of aging of interfering in potential deal to secure vaccines from pfizer. china says taiwan governing party is preventing it from sending

inoculations. taiwanese law bands, chinese made medical products, including vaccines. taiwan is a south governing island beach in claims as its own territory. and its been unable to join bodies like the world health organization and speak to ross, find gold about all this. he's in asia, political risk analysts, and he's joining us from type a. thank you very much for being with us. so 1st of all, just how big of a boost will be faxing donation from the u. s. b for taiwan is fight against the panoramic. well, certainly it will be helpful for the people who will receive the vaccines. unfortunately, it's going to be small number of population. as you mentioned, population is 23000000 people. so it's not 100000 people may get vaccinated, but the government here in taiwan will need to find a source for the balance. and they've had great difficulty sourcing. vaccines are developing one locally right. taiwan claims china blocked it from acquiring

vaccines. the chinese claim is taiwan and his governing party that prevented it from sending dose. it's what's the reality of the situation? what's really behind the shortage in vaccines and why is taiwan, which was seen as a success story early on in handling the pandemic seeing a surgeon cases. now i need seen sourcing issue that the chinese made vaccine is probably not going to be used here in taiwan. for number of regulatory as well as frankly political purposes. so that one is probably unrealistic in trying to say you're not letting our chinese made vaccine be used in taiwan. there's a market or a demand for that here in taiwan. but when it comes to sourcing vaccines from the other global manufacturers, whether it's chinese interference is a watch by the taiwan government or, or actually, what a lot of people here on the ground realized is bureaucratic inefficiency by the taiwan government that's prevented. they've got the source of the fact that that's going to play out over time. but if there is proof that the chinese government has

bog taiwan from acquiring back from american or european manufacturers, i would expect to talk about government to share that prove rather than just make aggregations by social media. or i prize conferences as they've been doing when it comes to why we had an outbreak here in taiwan in recent weeks after going so long . as you said, it's a relative success story compared to other places around the world. it's clear that the very strict measures for quarantine relaxed in for certain people, including airline staff. and unfortunately, people returning from outside taiwan to taiwan did bring the virus back because it's not a total ban on people. and during, and that did allow the virus to spread within the past few weeks to be found, the government, the authorities here in taiwan. we do a very advanced contract trade thing. so they're able to trace the source of most of this outbreak. but, but this is a pandemic, it is contagious. and unfortunately,

a large number of cases have been confirmed in recent weeks leading to very strict mask mandate rules work from home. schools are closed, restaurants are take out only. you mentioned, a bureaucratic inefficiency before. is that to blame for taiwan efforts while the lack of effort really to purchase vaccines or develop a vaccine locally? what's, why has not happened? oh, like any government, they have their purchasing rules and internal requirements that have to be met. and at the same time, taiwanda local companies that have been trying to develop the vaccine, although they haven't succeeded yet. so again, this is become a matter of debate here in taiwan, where the blame really is, is if you're a craddick, a inefficiency is a hope that the local manufacturers would be able to develop their own vaccine or is it also chinese interference?

and i expect this is going to play out the coming weeks and months here in taiwan, but at the same time, so i will continue to accept donations from the united states as well as attempt to purchase back. eventually, taiwan will get there. but the reality for people who do live here in taiwan is it appears the vaccine roll out. the vaccination rates are going to lag behind other places around the world. and how is the vaccine donation from the us going to go down with aging? and how might it affect the already complicated relations between washington and beijing? well, the reality is that the united states is donating back teens to multiple places around the world as china is just part of the competition between the united states and china to maintain relationships worldwide. that would include taiwanda, any kind of interaction between the united states government and 5 on government. however, regular though actually are,

is going to be criticized by the chinese government. so i would expect criticism from china in the coming hours over today's visit by us senators, as well as the donation in the us flight, the aircraft that accompany the senators into taiwan. all this is going to be met with chinese criticism, but that's kind of par for the course because you get any kind of official interaction between the united states and firewall will be criticized by china. thank you very much for talking to us about this ross. find gold seeking to say from type a thank you for your time. in other words, news, yemen. guffman says 17 people have been killed in a mis. i'll attack a petrol station was hit in the city of murray about a 120 kilometers east of the capital. so now the information minister is blaming hope. the rebels. the group launched, renewed offensive on murray in february. and omani delegation. meanwhile has arrived in humans capital send off a talk with who the leaders discussions will focus on holding the fighting in my
