The Taiwan Model of COVID-19 Control and Its Global Implication 1
The Taiwan Model of COVID-19 Control and Its Global Implication 1 The Taiwan Model of COVID-19 Control and Its Global Implication Chang-chuan Chan Dean, Professor, College of Public Health, National Taiwan University Chi-hsin Sally Chen Assistant Professor, College of Public Health, National Taiwan University Abstract In this on-going global pandemic of COVID-19, Taiwan stands out as a leading country in preventing any outbreak. We delineate four non-pharmaceutical interventions —border control, contact tracing, resource allocation (face masks), and social distancing —of the acclaimed Taiwan model of controlling COVID-19. We explain the social- political background of what makes Taiwan’s model possible and successful, stressing the most effective measure of the model is the travel ban on visitors from China at the very early stage, due to hard lessons learned from 2003 SARS outbreak. We also demonstrate collaboration among all layers and all ministries of the government in a democratic country that can effectively bring a disease outbreak under control. We also point out political and technological challenges Taiwan is facing to continue its success in the next wave of the pandemic. We conclude that Taiwan’s model has a positive implications for COVID-19 control in the world, and Taiwan has an opportunity to play a meaningful role in global health in the future world order where public health is an important global security issue. Keywords: COVID-19, Pandemic, Global Health, Taiwan, World Health Organization Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). -
A More Assertive Beijing and a More Persuasive Taipei Delivered by Dr Cheng-Yi Lin, Chief Executive Officer Institute for National Defense and Security Research
The following speech was delivered on 18 September 2019 at a conference in London that was co-hosted by INDSR and the Lau China Institute of King’s College London. The conference theme was: “Living with Constant Uncertainty: Across the Taiwan Strait and Europe in a Time of Radical Change.” A More Assertive Beijing And A More Persuasive Taipei Delivered by Dr Cheng-yi Lin, Chief Executive Officer Institute for National Defense and Security Research Professor Kerry Brown, Ambassador David Lin, Distinguished Scholars and Experts, Ladies and Gentlemen, Good evening! I am deeply honored to witness the cooperation project between INDSR Taiwan and Lau China Institute of King’s College on co-hosting this evening panel dealing with so many difficult issues under the shadow of constant uncertainty. I will not speak about the lingering issue of Brexit, but will share with you my humble observations of the complex relationships between Taiwan and mainland China. I will start from the development in the PRC particularly under President Xi Jinping and then followed by Taiwan’s perspectives under the Tsai Ing-wen administration. China As A Fragile Superpower With Self-confidence On The Outside, But Insecure Inside After amending the Constitution to abandon the Chinese presidential term limits in March 2018 and almost at the moment of the peak of his powers, Xi Jinping found himself surrounded by a series of challenges from the US-China trade war, the Chinese economic slowdown, and a political awakening of the Hong Kong people urging direct elections of Chief Executive and Legislative Council members. -
