Abstract
Sherry Tao Kong, Peking University: While the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing in most parts of the world, Taiwan has emerged as a shining example, characterized by one of the lowest infection rates globally and a death toll remaining below double digits. No doubt much can be learned from the Taiwan experience, not just because of how it successfully contained the COVID-19 beast per se, but equally, if not more importantly, because of the fact that this has been achieved without painful socioeconomic disruption.
北京大学Sherry Tao Kong:尽管新冠肺炎疫情在世界大部分地区持续,但台湾已成为一个光辉的例子,其特点是感染率是全球最低的,死亡人数保持在两位数以下。毫无疑问,我们可以从台湾的经验中学到很多东西,不仅因为它成功地控制了新冠肺炎疫情本身,而且同样,如果不是更重要的话,因为这是在没有痛苦的社会经济破坏的情况下实现的。
