#法國 France🇫🇷
3/5 ─ 前法國衛生部長及外交部長杜斯特：「檢視中央集權與非中央集權國家決策模式的差異十分有意思。台灣雖緊鄰中國卻可能是受武漢肺炎死亡率最低及受影響最輕的國家，其防疫成果完全令人難以置信，是為出色的危機管理。」

Le résultat est absolument invraisemblable. C’est une magnifique gestion de crise." (What is quite interesting with different countries, is centralization vs non-centralization of decisions.

【宋楚瑜2016大選國際記者會】
「Members of International Press Corps, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Good morning.

Welcome to Taiwan to witness the Presidential Election of the Republic of China. I thank you for your participation in this press conference, and hope that because of your report, Taiwan’s vigorous democracy can be well perceived internationally.

People of Taiwan cherish freedom and our democratic system. This right to vote, this government of the people, by the people and for the people, is the fruit of a long fight for democracy in the past decades. I am proud, of myself and my party, People First Party, for being a part of such transition. We are gratified that the forthcoming election is a great manifestation of our democracy in action.

Over the past thirty years, Taiwan has lifted martial law and moved toward a truly democratic country. During that period, I am privileged and honored to have played a key role in making Taiwan’s democracy a reality. Today, I am running for the President of the Republic of China, and hope to devote myself again to further enhancing the well-being of our people.

As you have already known, we are now facing the rise of China and our ever closer ties in all aspects. Every citizen in this country realizes that the President’s prime responsibility is to manage stable Cross-Strait relations to foster mutually beneficial economic and cultural interflows. Under the framework of the R.O.C. Constitution, maintaining status quo is and will continue to be the governing principle of Taiwan’s future interactions with Mainland China. We will continue to follow the peaceful development strategy, while at the same time, bringing in transparency, all-party consultation, participation and public deliberation, as well as rigorous parliamentary scrutiny into our China policy making process.

I would also like to take this opportunity to convey to the world and to the people of Mainland China that the differences between the two sides of Taiwan Strait rest on the different social, economic and political systems. The existence of the government of Republic of China on Taiwan is a reality. It is an undeniable fact. We, the people of Taiwan, have every right to choose our way of life and shall never give up our rights to freedom and democracy.

I am sure all of you have noticed a recent, subtle yet important development from the meeting of leaders from both sides of the Strait in Singapore. It was the first time since 1949 that a Chinese Communist leader ever publicly acknowledged that Taiwan and Mainland China have been “under different executive administrations.” If elected, I will continue the dialogues with Mainland China with mutual respect and pragmatism.

In past years, I have been recognized as the person trusted in handling Cross-Strait relations. My assumption of President’s office assures the world that peace and stability in this region will be securely maintained.

My previous position as the Provincial Governor of Taiwan has firmly earned me the reputation of a competent and accountable man of the people. If elected, I will organize an efficient grand coalition government to serve the needs of our people and put aside the decade-long inter-party fight between the so-called blue and green camps. Together, I will lead the government and people rebuild the pride and prosperity people of Taiwan deserve.

The Republic of China is devoted to playing the role of a strategic buffer in East Asia, both in geopolitical and temporal senses. Taiwan will firmly uphold the essential obligations in maintaining peace and stability of East Asia, thereby promoting positive interactions amongst the United States, Mainland China, Japan and Taiwan. We shall not undertake any unilateral or provocative actions to compromise the stability of Cross-Strait relations, for we believe that this might result in unnecessary confrontation between the United States and China, consequently jeopardizing the peace and security in the region.

Taiwan will continue to maintain balanced economic relations with our trading partners such as the United States, China, Japan, European Union and ASEAN countries. In our economic and trade exchanges with Mainland China, Taiwan will abide by the principles of benefit-sharing and reciprocity because the development of small and medium-sized enterprises are crucial for Taiwan’s prosperity and economic growth. Furthermore, as a member of the global community, we are dedicated to promoting “low-carbon economy” and ensuring sustainable development of the world environment.

In closing, let me emphasize again, that Taiwan’s democracy and economic livelihood is the fruit of decades of collaborate efforts of the people of Taiwan. I will make every effort to defend such way of life and stand by our people for years to come.

Thank you again and I wish you all the best in the year of the Monkey.」
各位國際記者，各位女士先生，

早安

歡迎您到臺灣，來見證中華民國的總統選舉。謝謝您參與這個記者會，並希望世界能過透過您的報導，看到臺灣蓬勃發展的民主制度。
臺灣人民非常珍惜我們的自由及民主。這投票的權利、這個民有、民治、民享的國家是過去幾十年裡來我們台灣人民長期奮鬥的果實。我很驕傲，對於我自己和我的政黨—親民黨，因為也在這轉型中有所參與。我們感到欣慰的是，即將舉行的總統大選便是我們展現民主制度一個最好的例子。
過去三十多年來，臺灣解除戒嚴，走向一個真正的民主國家。在此期間，我很榮幸發揮了關鍵的作用，使臺灣的民主得以實現。今天，我要競選中華民國總統，並希望能再次貢獻我的能力，進一步提升我國人民的福祉。
如同您已知道的，我們現在正面臨崛起的中國以及與對岸在各方面越來越緊密的關係。每個公民都瞭解，總統最主要的責任是維持穩定的兩岸關係，促進互利共贏的經濟和文化交流。在《中華民國憲法》框架之下，維持現狀是現在，也會是未來與對岸互動的主導原則。我們將繼續遵循和平發展原則，同時在制定兩岸決策時，我們會堅持要能透明公開，與所有黨派協商，擴大公民參與，以及嚴格的國會審查程序。
我也想藉此機會向世界和大陸人民轉達，兩岸的不同，是在於社會、經濟和政治制度上的差異。中華民國政府在臺灣的存在是一個現實情況，而且是不可否認的事實。我們臺灣人民有權選擇自己的生活方式。我們也永遠不會放棄享有自由民主的權利。
我相信大家都已經注意到兩岸領導人在新加坡會面這個微妙但卻重要的發展。從1949 年以來，這是第一次中國共產黨的領導人公開承認，「兩岸分治」的事實。如果我當選，我將繼續與中國大陸在相互尊重的基礎上，以務實的態度來進行和平對談。
在過去幾年，我已經被公認是台灣在處理兩岸關係上最值得信任的人。如果我當選總統，我會努力維護東亞地區的穩定及和平。
我過去擔任省長的經驗為我贏得一個有執行力，且對人民負責的「平民官」之美譽。如果當選，我會組織一個高效率的大聯合政府，放下十幾年藍綠惡鬥的情況，真正用心的好好服務百姓。我將領導政府和人民，重新找回我們臺灣人應有的驕傲和繁榮。
中華民國會持續發揮我們在東亞地區，身為一個策略性緩衝要角的影響力，不管是地理上，政治上抑或是時空上，以維護此地區的和平與穩定，促進美國、中國、日本和臺灣之間的正面互動。我們不會作出任何單方面或挑釁的行動去破壞兩岸關係的穩定，因為我們相信此舉只會把美國跟中國大陸拉入不必要的對抗，危害到此地區的和平與安全。

臺灣將繼續和我們的貿易夥伴們—包含美國、中國、日本、歐盟和東協國家—維持穩定均衡的經貿關係。我們在與中國大陸經貿交流上，將遵守利益共享及互惠的原則，因為中小企業的發展是臺灣的繁榮和經濟成長的關鍵。此外，國際社會的一員，我們將致力於推動「低碳經濟」，並確保世界環境的永續發展。
最後，我要強調，台灣的民主和經濟生活，是幾十年來台灣人民的共同努力成果。我將盡一切努力捍衛這樣的生活方式，並和我們的人民站在一起。
再次感謝你們，祝福大家在猴年一切安好。

【A Message to the World (From Taiwan) 一則來自臺灣的訊息】

This is a message that I would like to share with the world.
A message from Taiwan.


Hi there, this is Vivi from Taiwan.
There’s something that I would like to share with you.


With more than 1.7 million confirmed cases and 100 thousand deaths around the world, the COVID19 pandemic outbreak has become the most challenging global health crisis of our time. This is an unprecedented time that has affected the lives of everyone in our global community, regardless of race, gender, culture, or skin colour.


At this defining moment in history, cooperation will bring upon the relief and clarity needed to triumph over a common threat facing humankind. In this fight, I, as a citizen of this global community, believe health is a fundamental human right that is inherent to all human beings. ‘Health For All, Leave No One Behind’ is a guiding principle of all health professionals, as well as a message that has resonated with us Taiwanese people through the toughest of times. In 2003, the SARS outbreak devastated my home country. Left isolated and marginalised by the WHO in the fight against SARS, we learned, through fearful uncertainty, how to tenaciously combat pandemics. But most importantly, the people of Taiwan experienced firsthand what it felt like to be left behind. Taiwan, despite just being miles off the coast of China, has effectively managed the spread of coronavirus in our country. And it is the belief that we should ‘leave no one behind’ that motivates us to play our role in the global community.


Taiwan can help, and Taiwan is helping.


In the past few weeks, the Taiwanese government has donated more than 10 million surgical masks to the United States, Europe, Southeast Asia, India, Central America and South America. Other medical supplies are also finding their way to all continents around the globe. Since the very first days of the outbreak, the Taiwanese government has devoted itself to fighting this pandemic. Through information transparency, quick response, early deployment and the effective use of big data, the functions of our society continue without interruption. To share our knowledge on COVID-19 with the world, we created virtual forums, participated by numerous countries, of our successful and internationally recognised public health policies. Our government and research centres have also teamed up with the Czech Republic, European Union and the United States in sharing tactics and technology and collaborating on the development of vaccines and rapid test kits. Finally, we have worked with different governments in analysing the economic, social and psychological impact of the epidemic and related isolation measures.


Taiwan cares, and Taiwan helps.


This virus can tear up the world, but it will not shake the foundations of humanity’s values. For a worldwide pandemic that does not discriminate based on borders and nationalities, it is crucial that we, in times of a crisis like this, stay stronger together.

Taiwan never forgets her friends from around the world.
We are part of this global team and we are in solidarity with the rest of the world.
Taiwan stands with you.


這是一個我想要傳遞給世界的訊息。
一則，來自臺灣的訊息。


嗨，今天過得好嗎？
我是來自臺灣的Vivi。讓我跟你分享一件事，好嗎？


COVID19爆發至今，已在全球造成超過一百七十萬人確診、十萬人犧牲。這次的疫情，是這個世代面臨最大的全球衛生危機。這是一場影響了全人類，不論種族、性別、文化、與膚色，我們都必須共同面對的，前所未有的挑戰。


在這個歷史性的浪尖上，並肩合作、共同抗疫，才能夠引領我們贏得這場對抗病毒的戰役。身為全球公民的一員，我始終相信「健康，是每一個人都享有的基本人權」。而「全民均健」，不只是每一個醫衛人員所堅守的價值，更是在這樣艱難的時刻中，臺灣人民付諸實行的信念。在2003年時，我們經歷了SARS的考驗，並學會了如何在前方情形未知、還被WHO排除在外的情況下，仍舊堅韌地戰勝傳染病。但最重要的是，臺灣人比誰都了解孤軍奮戰的心情。而在這次的疫情當中，臺灣即便緊鄰中國，依然有效地阻擋了疫情擴散。同時也正是「全民均健，不可遺落任何一個人」的信念，引領臺灣始終積極地在國際社會中，貢獻一己之力。


臺灣可以幫忙，我們也正在全力幫忙。


在過去幾週內，臺灣捐贈了超過一千萬個醫療口罩至美國、歐洲、東南亞、印度及中南美洲。同時，也有許多捐贈給各大洲的防疫醫療器材，正在運送與安排當中。自從疫情爆發的第一天起，我們的政府就全體動員，合力對抗傳染病。經由公開透明的疫情資訊、超前部署、快速溝通與反應、以及大數據運用等防疫策略，臺灣社會才得以繼續維持日常生活不受影響。而我們也開始舉辦線上會議，與許多國家分享我們的防疫經驗——臺灣的防疫成果，是國際有目共睹的。我們的政府與醫衛研究機構，也跟捷克、歐盟、美國合作，不僅分享防疫策略、技術，也開始共同研發疫苗與快篩。近期，我們也跟他國政府共同合作，研究此次疫情所帶來在經濟、社會與心理健康上的影響。


臺灣因為在乎，所以我們實際幫忙。


病毒或許可以分裂這個世界，但沒辦法撼動人類最根深蒂固堅守的價值。面對著這個跨越邊界、國籍的傳染病危機，這個世界必須攜手合作，共同強大。


臺灣從來沒有忘記我們全球的友邦與朋友。
我們是這個世界的一份子，也會持續跟全世界站在一起，抵禦病毒。
臺灣與你並肩。

*Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this video are those of the authors. 影片內容僅代表作者本身之觀點。*

The political environment is complicated by the potential for military conflict should Taiwan make overt actions toward de jure independence; it is the official PRC policy to use force to ensure reunification if peaceful reunification is no longer possible, as stated in its anti-secession law, and for this reason there are substantial military installations on the Fujian coast. However, in recent years, the PRC has moved towards promoting peaceful relations, including stronger economic ties, with the current ROC government aimed at unification through the one country, two systems formula or maintaining the status quo under the 1992 Consensus.

On 29 April 2005, Kuomintang Chairman Lien Chan travelled to Beijing and met with Communist Party of China (CPC) Secretary-General Hu Jintao, the first meeting between the leaders of the two parties since the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949. On 11 February 2014, Mainland Affairs Council Head Wang Yu-chi travelled to Nanjing and met with Taiwan Affairs Office Head Zhang Zhijun, the first meeting between high-ranking officials from either side. Zhang paid a reciprocal visit to Taiwan and met Wang on 25 June 2014, making Zhang the first minister-level PRC official to ever visit Taiwan. On 7 November 2015, Ma Ying-jeou (in his capacity as Leader of Taiwan) and Xi Jinping (in his capacity as Leader of Mainland China) travelled to Singapore and met up, marking the highest-level exchange between the two sides since 1949.

The PRC supports a version of the One-China policy, which states that Taiwan and mainland China are both part of China, and that the PRC is the only legitimate government of China. It uses this policy to prevent the international recognition of the ROC as an independent sovereign state, meaning that Taiwan participates in international forums under the name "Chinese Taipei". With the emergence of the Taiwanese independence movement, the name "Taiwan" has been employed increasingly often on the island.

Don't Worry MV - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW9mSFgrDWc
_______________________________________________________
曾為了追隨夢想，
而進退兩難⋯

也曾為了一句完美，
而失去平衡⋯

她的一聲「別擔心」，
就是全世界最溫暖的擁抱。

Dena 追隨夢想的路途上，帶著嚮往、期待，然而途中的失落，讓前進的步伐變得沈重。一句簡單熟悉的「別擔心」，在無力之際，喚醒那埋在深處的勇氣。

«Don’t Worry 別擔心» 是學生時期的 Dena 與金曲製作人 ‘Skot Suyama 陶山老師’ 的第一首合作作品。這首歌為 Dena 當時對自己最真實的告白，陶山老師聽到試聽帶後，完全被 Dena 的才華給感染，進而決定展開了他們一起創作的旅程，終於讓這首醞釀了五年的心情日記，成為了她夢想音符的獨特節奏。

Don't Worry
music/lyrics: Dena Chang (張粹方), Skot Suyama (陶山)

Have you ever felt like walking on a tightrope?
Hands tied, and losing your balance
And suddenly you're falling to the ground below
Your closing your eyes to reach out and grab something

Well here I am, (just) come and take my hand
Don't you know that you don't have to go it alone?

Cause when you feel like you're running in circles
or trapped in your dream
baby I'll remind you of the way you used to look at me
So just hold onto my hand and we'll face it all together baby
When no one seems to understand
I'll be here to catch you if you fall again

So baby don't you worry

Have you ever felt like life is disappointing?
And it feels like a wave (that's) crashing down on you
And the weight of the world, feels like you're drowning
And staying afloat is all you can do

Well I am, (just) come and take my hand
Don't you know that you don't have to go it alone?

Cause when you feel like you're running in circles
or trapped in your dream
baby I'll remind you of the way you used to look at me
So just hold onto my hand and we'll face it all together baby
When no one seems to understand
I'll be here to catch you if you fall again

Just take a look back
to the day you uploaded your first song
so proud you were dancing around the room
and then you’ll realize
how brave you were
and that it’s always
been a part of you

so when you feel like you're running in circles
or trapped in your dream
baby I'll remind you of the way you used to look at me now
So just hold onto my hand and we'll face it all together baby
When no one seems to understand
I'll be here to catch you if you fall again
So baby don't you worry
