WASHINGTON, June 19 (Reuters) - The United States will ship 2.5 million
COVID-19 vaccine doses to Taiwan on Saturday, a senior administration
official told Reuters, more than tripling Washington's previous allocation of
shots for the island, which has faced increasing political and military
pressure from China.



Washington, competing with Beijing to deepen geopolitical clout through
so-called "vaccine diplomacy," initially had promised to donate 750,000 doses
to Taiwan but is increasing that number as President Joe Biden's
administration advances its pledge to send 80 million U.S.-made shots around
the world.

華盛頓與北京正透過所謂的"疫苗外交"競爭來深化地緣政治影響力，起初承諾贈予台灣的
75萬劑疫苗，也隨著拜登政府提出將向全世界捐贈八千萬劑美製疫苗而增加。

The 2.5 million donated doses of the Moderna Inc (MRNA.O) vaccine will leave
Memphis, Tennessee, on a flight belonging to Taiwan's China Airlines early on
Saturday and arrive in Taipei on Sunday evening, the senior U.S.
administration official said, adding that the prompt delivery was due to
experts from both sides being able to work out regulatory issues.



"We are not allocating these doses, or delivering these doses, based on
political or economic conditions. We are donating these vaccines with the
singular objective of saving lives," the official said.

＂我們並不是根據政治或是經濟條件去分配或提供這些劑量，我們捐贈這些疫苗的唯一目
標是拯救生命＂這名官員說。

"Our vaccines do not come with strings attached," the official said, adding
Taiwan had "faced unfair challenges in its efforts to acquire vaccines on the
global marketplace."

＂我們的疫苗完全沒有附加條件＂這名官員表示，並補充說明台灣必須＂在全球市場上努
力獲得疫苗的同時卻得面臨著不公平的挑戰＂。

A deal for Taiwan to purchase vaccines from Germany's BioNTech SE (22UAy.DE)
fell through this year, with Taiwan's government blaming pressure from
Beijing.

台灣與德國生物科技公司BioNTech的疫苗採購協議於今年告吹，台灣政府指責其來自於北
京的施壓。

China has denied the accusation, saying Taiwan is free to obtain the vaccines
through Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Group Co Ltd (600196.SS), which has a
contract to sell BioNTech's vaccine in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

中國否認了這一項指控，稱台灣可以透過上海復興醫藥集團自行購買疫苗，該公司擁有
BioNTech在中國大陸、香港、澳門、台灣銷售疫苗的經營權。

"We believe that these attempts by China to block purchases, for political
purposes, are reprehensible," the senior Biden administration official said.

＂我們相信，中國試圖阻止台灣購買這些疫苗是出於政治目的性，應該要受到譴責＂這
名拜登政府的高級官員說。

The de facto U.S. embassy, the American Institute in Taiwan, later confirmed
the delivery.

事實上的美國大使館 - 美國在台協會(AIT) 後來證實了這一消息。

"The donation reflects our commitment to Taiwan as a trusted friend, and a
member of the international family of democracies," it said in a statement.

＂這批捐贈展現了我們對台灣的承諾，台灣是一個值得信賴的朋友，也是國際民主大家庭
的一員＂該組織在一份申明中表示。

Taiwan is trying to speed up the arrival of the millions of vaccines it has
on order, although infections remain comparatively low despite a rise in
domestic cases. Only around 6% of Taiwan's 23.5 million people have received
at least one shot of a vaccine regimen.

台灣正努力加快速度使已訂購的數百萬支疫苗到貨，儘管國內病例有上升，但感染的人數
仍然相對較低。在台灣兩千三百五十萬人口中，只有約6%的人接種了一劑疫苗。

The U.S. shipment comes at a time when Washington has been working with
Taipei to create secure supply chains for strategic items such as computer
chips, of which Taiwan is a key producer, that are vital for U.S. automobile
manufacturers and other industries.

與此同時(美國裝運疫苗)，華盛頓正與台北合作，為電腦晶片等戰略物資建立安全的供應
鏈，台灣是電腦晶片的主要生產商，對美國汽車製造和其他行業至關重要。

It also comes after Taiwan announced on Friday that it will allow Terry Gou,
the billionaire founder of Taiwan's Foxconn (2317.TW) and semiconductor giant
TSMC (2330.TW), to negotiate on its behalf for COVID-19 vaccines.

隨後在週五的時候，台灣宣布將允許富士康的億萬富翁創始人郭台銘和半導體巨頭台積電
代表台灣進行COVID-19疫苗談判。

Taiwan Presidential Office spokesman Xavier Chang said Washington's
assistance with vaccines confirmed the "rock-solid friendship between Taiwan
and the United States."

台灣總統府發言人張惇涵表示，華盛頓在疫苗方面的援助更印證了＂台美友好關係的堅若
磐石＂。

Jonathan Fritz, a senior State Department official, said on Thursday that
China had been "very aggressively using vaccine donations as a lever to
induce more of Taiwan's diplomatic partners to switch recognition."

美國國務院高級官員Jonathan Fritz在週四時表示，中國一直＂非常積極地利用疫苗捐贈
的手段，誘使更多台灣邦交國放棄承認台灣。＂

Beijing has steadily whittled down the number of Taiwan's diplomatic allies,
which now stands at just 15 countries.

北京一直在逐步減少台灣邦交國的數量，目前只剩15個國家。

The United States, which like most countries has no formal diplomatic ties
with Taiwan, has watched with alarm the stepped up tensions with Beijing, and
Biden's administration has vowed to boost ties with the island, which it is
required under U.S. law to supply with the means of defense.



Earlier this week Taiwan reported the largest incursion yet by China's air
force, including fighters and nuclear-capable bombers, into its air defense
identification zone.

本週稍早台灣報告表示，中國空軍(包括戰鬥機和具有核彈裝載能力的轟炸機)進入台灣的防空識別
區，這是迄今為止規模最大的入侵。
