（報紙文章的一些小段子）
We continue to learn more about the Chinese Communist regime’s lies and culpability in the global coronavirus pandemic. But if you want to see the difference between how a totalitarian and a free Chinese society handles a public health emergency, just contrast the actions of the People’s Republic with those of the Republic of China, Taiwan. One is responsible for unleashing a contagion that has infected more than 2 million people; the other has all but defeated the virus.
一直以來，我們知道中共政權在全球冠狀病毒大流行中所說的謊言且是罪魁禍首。
不過，如果您想了解專制主義者和一個自由的中文社會如何處理突發公共衛生事件之間的區別，
只需要將中華人民共和國所採取的行動與中華民國，也就是台灣，所採取的行動進行對比即可。
一方釋放了已感染超過200萬人的傳染病。
而另一方幾乎擊敗了病毒。
What is most impressive is that Taiwan has done all this without ordering its population to shelter in place or shutting down schools, restaurants, stores and other businesses. As a result, Taiwan’s economy is not experiencing the same economic damage as countries under lockdown.
最令人印象深刻的是，台灣在沒有命令居民到避難所或關閉學校、飯店、商店和其他企業的情況下完成了所有這些工作。
結果，台灣經濟遭受的經濟損失與封鎖國家截然不同。
So how did Taiwan succeed where Beijing failed?
所以台灣是如何成功，而北京是如何失敗的呢？
First, Taiwan acted fast.
首先，台灣及早採取行動
Second, the government acted with complete transparency.
第二，政府採取完全透明的行動
The government set up a coronavirus hotline and proactively sought out those with respiratory symptoms. Taiwanese officials also set price limits to prevent the hoarding of masks, and mobilized Taiwan’s military to help increase mask production from 2 million to 15 million a day.
政府設立了冠狀病毒熱線，並主動尋找有呼吸道症狀的人。台灣官員還設定了價格上限，以防止口罩囤積，並動員台灣口罩國家隊，幫助將口罩的產量從每天200萬增加到1500萬。
But those efforts to isolate Taiwan may have hurt us. On Dec. 31, Taiwan tried to warn the World Health Organization (WHO) about the danger the virus posed... Had Taiwan been a member, we would have learned several critical weeks sooner about the coming danger.
但是那些試圖孤立台灣的，可能已經傷害到我們了。 12月31日，台灣試圖警告世界衛生組織（WHO）該病毒帶來的危險...如果台灣是該組織的成員，我們將在即將到來的關鍵幾週內，了解到這個病毒的危險。
