This article compares the responses of the US, Japan, South Korea, and Germany during the initial outbreak of the Wuhan Virus in early 2020 to criticize Taiwan's government (Democratic Progressive Party) pandemic prevention policy. The author points out that the US, Japan, and Germany took supportive actions such as sharing technology, donating or discounting masks, and developing inhibitors, while Taiwan's government was the first to issue orders prohibiting mask sales and restricting mask carrying to mainland China. The author questions whether the Democratic Progressive Party was merely employing feints on professional pandemic prevention, manufacturing political division.
Li Hongzhang, former Grand Councillor of Direct Lie and Minister of Beiyang of the Qing Empire, visited the United States in 1896 and was interviewed by The New York Times in New York.

A conversation between an American professor and a Taiwan-independence-supporting Taiwanese student named William, discussing Taiwan's international position. The professor points out that William holding a 'Republic of China' passport proves his country actually exists, questioning why he thinks it's unrecognized, and emphasizing that international relations cannot be handled emotionally. The professor uses a name-change analogy to criticize changing the country's name as 'a big joke,' and suggests Taiwan should stop 'playing the name-changing game,' unite first, consolidate resources, and enhance its capabilities before it can have real negotiating power.
