[Reporter Wu Liangyi/Taipei Report] Former President Ma Ying-jeou yesterday praised China's "contribution to mankind" in the early stages of the epidemic, and apologized for the Wuhan charter flight, saying, "Sorry, our government has caused trouble to you (referring to China)."

Chen Shizhong, the former commander of the Central Epidemic Command Center, couldn't help showing a little anger when he heard the words, "President Ma didn't do anything himself, so he has a guilty conscience. Otherwise, these words are not in line with the facts." The current commander Wang Bisheng sighed , Ma said these words from the perspective of the Chinese, "Since it is explained from the perspective of the Chinese, then respect him."

Wang Bisheng participated in the mission of evacuating overseas Chinese on a chartered flight from Wuhan. He emphasized that the epidemic prevention personnel and border management personnel were very responsible in preventing the virus from invading Taiwan from China in the early stage of the epidemic. Didn't cause trouble to anyone."

Wang Bisheng sighs: Chinese perspective

Chen Shih-chung also said that the government's position at that time was to bring Taiwanese who were staying for a short period of time and living inconveniently from the closed city of Wuhan back to Taiwan. "On the contrary, we did not want to cause trouble to China. Not a good thing."

Regarding Ma Ying-jeou's praise of China's contribution to the entire human race in the early stages of epidemic prevention, Wang Bisheng responded when asked at the epidemic press conference yesterday that the epidemic spread from Wuhan, China to the whole world, nearly 700 million people were infected, and more than 7 million people died. This number is definitely far underestimated; "I don't know where the contribution is? But I only know that this is a catastrophe for mankind."

Chen Shizhong pointed out that it is still pointing to the fact that the virus originated from the Wuhan laboratory to cause this human disaster, and China has not cooperated with the investigation, so there are still many unclear situations, "but it would be a bit ironic to say that it is China's contribution to mankind ".
