So, when we heard that there were some secret pneumonia cases in China where patients were treated in isolation, we knew it was something similar.

People here understand that there's something wrong (with)the way the 'one country, two systems' model is run in Hong Kong ... Taiwan people don't like to be in the same situation.

This is really a warning shot that people should not be complacent and think that these e-cigarettes are completely safe.

As a result of this perception, a lot of kids pick up e-cigarette smoking, there's so many kids who are smoking e-cigarettes. And these kids are going to become adults. And these adults can become elderly patients that I as a cardiologist will take care of later on.

I personally think it's not a good idea to go to these clinics... and [ get ] injected with these stem cell therapies that have not been proven.

Additional studies will need to be done to further validate the concept before we go to clinical trials.

Taiwan absolutely cannot abandon this responsibility, this isn't dollar diplomacy. This is diplomacy.

I along with our country's people feel sad, angry and regretful, china grabbing our allies and giving us pressure in the diplomatic space will not shrink the distance across the (Taiwan) strait and will not let cross-strait relations walk on a peaceful, friendly path.

I along with our country's people feel sad, angry and regretful, i need to emphasize here that China grabbing our allies and giving us pressure in the diplomatic space will not shrink the distance across the (Taiwan) strait and will not let cross-strait relations walk on a peaceful, friendly path.

We want to ensure that the transition is a smooth one, we want to work with the outgoing government so that the political conditions can be stable in Taiwan.

That kind of encouragement is going to be very helpful. It helped before and I think it should help (again).

We’ll see as technology evolves in the future, radiologists and cardiologists will be able to implement some of these new imaging sequencing to provide as low a dose as possible to the patient.

This kind of behavior is wrecking the status quo, and it's wrecking peace and stability in this region and it should not be accepted.

Since her travel is always subject to a lot of considerations, especially security considerations... we were not able to find out until the very last moment when she firmed up her plan.

The important thing for us is that we need to be prepared, we want to defend the freedom and democracy that we enjoy over here. Nobody can take that away from us.

President Xi Jinping has also spoken about the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, including building up militarily around The Chinese.

When we watch the events in Ukraine evolving... we are also watching very carefully what The Chinese may do to Taiwan.

It's about Chinese authoritarianism trying to expand its own influence... Far beyond its borders, even into the Western hemisphere, they want to exercise their authoritarian rule and impose the authoritarian international order.

( China) uses cognitive warfare, disinformation campaigns and military intimidation to create a lot of anxiety among the Taiwanese people.

The status quo would include Taiwan not run or ruled by the People's Republic of China.

If you look at the situation in Hong Kong, it is a modern tragedy.
