Thank you very much for your email. It is good to hear from you again after all that time. Many things have happened since we last talked and I admire how are you continuously and very successfully built Foxconn and how you manage all your other activities. 非常感謝您的來信。很高興再次聽到您的消息。自上次交談後發生許多事,更讓我敬佩您持續且非常成功地打造富士康,以及同時成功地管理其他要務。
I talked today to Andreas Strüngmann and Helmut Jäckle, the chairman of BioNTech. 今天我和Andreas Strüngmann和BioNTech的總裁Helmut Jäckle有過交談。
Helmut was very aware about the situation in Taiwan. He explained, that there has been an agreement negotiated between BioNTech and Taiwanese government. The only reason why this agreement has not been implemented, according to Helmut, was because the Taiwanese government insisted that in the public announcement about this agreement it is stated, that this agreement is between BioNTech and the INDEPENDENT Government of Taiwan. Helmut表示他非常了解台灣現在【疫情】的處境。據他所述,BioNTech和台灣政府之間曾談過一份協議。但該份協議沒有繼續執行的唯一原因在於,台灣政府針對該協議的公開聲明,堅持須宣稱是BioNTech與「獨立」的台灣政府(INDEPENDENT Government of Taiwan)所簽署。
Since this is unacceptable to Fosun, the deal was cancelled. 但這個堅持不為復星所接受,該協議則隨即無疾而終。
Since BioNTech and Fosun are not allowed to sell to anybody else other than a government body, there does not seem to be a workable solution. 由於BioNTech和復星不允許【將疫苗】出售給政府機關以外的任何第三方,現行似乎沒有可行的解決方案。
However, Helmut told me that he will took into this issue again. Terry, I am sorry for this unsatisfactory reply. Maybe you can use your political influence to convince the Taiwanese governance that with a different wording there could be a deal.
I will follow up with Helmut and as soon as I get any new information I’ll let you know. 我會再與Helmut跟進。一旦我獲得任何新的消息,將立即通知您。 All the best and Warm regards, 祝一切順利
英文版:「The Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) secured supply of 5 million COVID-19 vaccine doses from the German biotechnology company BioNTech on January _, 2021. 」
粉同樣的一句話,只有中文版有出現「我國」,英文版並沒有對應譯字。
沒想到上面這一句話的解讀,竟被大股東在電郵中描寫為:「this agreement is between BioNTech and the INDEPENDENT Government of Taiwan」,值得注意的是,這是大股東的描寫並非合約內容的原文。且衛福部昨(10日)已公開我方在合約中皆使用中華民國台灣的字樣。
