Aug 26 (Formosa TV English News) - President Tsai Ing-wen has made headlines in Japan, after getting a shot of the Taiwan-developed Medigen vaccine on Monday.
A report by Tokyo-based TBS News noted that the injection was live-streamed to set an example for her country. In related news, Japanese public broadcaster NHK used the name "Taiwan", when introducing the island''s Paralympic national team.
Just as it did during the Olympic opening ceremony, Japan’s NHK used the name “Taiwan” when introducing the island’s Paralympic athletes.
It was a choice well received by Japanese internet users. One said, “I’ve been waiting in front of the TV to hear this sentence.” Another said, “Just as expected, they said Taiwan.” Another one proclaimed, “Taiwan is Taiwan.”
This week in Japan, Taiwan has garnered attention for another reason.
President Tsai Ing-wen on Monday received a shot of the Taiwan-made Medigen COVID vaccine. She made headlines in Japan. The news reports detail how the injection was livestreamed, to boost public confidence in the vaccine.
