美國國務院發起 #TweetforTaiwan 運動支持台灣參與世界衛生組織。希望所有台灣人也能一起響應，並向國外友人分享！

推起來❤️ #TweetforTaiwan

國務院國組局今天在推特發表六篇推文：

1. twitter.com/State_IO/status/1256208471869083648

The U.S. believes firmly that #Taiwan belongs at the table when the world discusses #COVID19 and other threats to global health. Before 2017, Beijing didn't object to Taiwan joining the World Health Assembly as an Observer. What's changed? #TweetforTaiwan

美國堅信，值此全球討論COVID-19及其他對全球健康威脅之際，台灣不應缺席。北京在2017年前，並未反對台灣以觀察員身分參與世界衛生大會。什麼改變了？#TweetforTaiwan

2. twitter.com/State_IO/status/1256212662821756931

Is the health of Taiwan's 23 million people less important now than it was before 2017? Or, is the #PRC punishing Taiwan voters for freely choosing their own leader? #TweetforTaiwan

難道台灣2300萬人民的健康相較2017年變得更不重要？還是，中國正在懲處台灣選民自由選出自己領導人？ #TweetforTaiwan

3. twitter.com/State_IO/status/1256215756578140160

We all know Taiwan has long been committed to global health and boasts one of the finest health and research networks in the world, and that Taiwan promotes scientific cooperation and transparency on threats to #health. #TweetforTaiwan #TaiwanModel

我們都知道台灣長期致力於全球衛生，且擁有世界頂尖的衞生及研究網絡，台灣也正推動科學合作及透明化，以因應各種衞生威脅 #TweetforTaiwan #TaiwanModel

※此直接轉推蔡總統推特
@iingwen, the contrast with the #PRC is striking. China's response to the outbreak of #COVID19 has been to hide the facts, muzzle its scientists, and censor discussion. #Taiwan's response has been and continues to be a model for the world. #TweetforTaiwan #TaiwanModel

蔡總統（敘述的內容）與中國具有甚大差異。自從COVID-19爆發後，中國採取的因應方式就是隱暪事實、下令科學家封口，且箝制討論。反觀台灣的因應方式已成為也將持續做為世界的典範。#TweetforTaiwan #TaiwanModel

5. twitter.com/State_IO/status/1256273239749406720

Is it too much to ask that Taiwan be permitted to share their expertise, their commitment, with the rest of the world? Will the world succumb to the PRC's pressure and intimidation? It's time to be heard, and time to #TweetforTaiwan #TaiwanModel

讓台灣與世界分享其專業及承諾，難道此一要求不合理嗎？世界會向中國壓力及恫嚇屈服嗎？現在是該被聽見的時間，也是時候用推文挺台灣了。 #TaiwanModel

6. twitter.com/State_IO/status/1256283538481086466

Join us to #TweetforTaiwan's inclusion at the upcoming World Health Assembly so #Taiwan can bring its incredible expertise to the fight against #Covid19. The world needs Taiwan in this fight! Tell @WHO that it is time for Taiwan to be heard.

與我們一起用推文挺台灣參與即將來臨的世界衛生大會，使台灣能將其難以置信的經驗對抗COVID-19。世界需要台灣一同加入戰役。告訴世界衛生組織此是時候聽見台灣了。

此外，美國常駐聯合國代表團及駐東協代表團也分別推文提到台灣。

1. twitter.com/USUN/status/1256229953198227456

（來自美國常駐聯合國代表團）
. @UN was founded to serve as a venue for all voices, a forum that welcomes a diversity of views & perspectives, & promotes human freedom. Barring #Taiwan from setting foot on UN grounds is an affront not just to the proud Taiwanese people, but to UN principles. #TweetForTaiwan

聯合國成立是為提供一個平台予所有不同聲音、歡迎不同的意見與觀點，且推動人類自由。禁止台灣踏入聯合國場域侮辱的不僅是驕傲的台灣人民，更是聯合國的基本原則。 #TweetForTaiwan

2. twitter.com/USMission2ASEAN/status/1256040773314842624

（來自美國常駐東協代表團）
We continue to work closely with democratic partners in East Asia to stop #COVID19. Grateful to #Japan 🇯🇵, #SouthKorea 🇰🇷 & #Taiwan 🇹🇼 for their open communication & the sharing of resources to help the entire world fight the pandemic.

我們將持續與東亞民主夥伴緊密合作以對抗COVID-19。感謝日本、南韓及台灣的開放式溝通及資源共享以協助世界對抗疫情。

【美國國務院發起推特聲援台灣行動，中國氣呼呼】
　 　
美國國務院的「國際組織局」（Bureau of International Organization Affairs, IO），在推特上發起了聲援台灣的推文系列 #TweetforTaiwan，同時呼籲網友們一起推，幫助台灣加入今年的「世界衛生大會」（WHA），國務院官員們紛紛大力轉推 #TaiwanModel。
　
國務院在推文中形容，將台灣排除在聯合國相關組織，是對「自豪的台灣人」（proud Taiwanese people）的侮辱（affront），也是對聯合國原則的破壞。
　
都講成這樣了，各位proud Taiwanese，還不趕快去推特上推一波🌊！

對此，在國內仍然不能使用推特的中國，他們的官方代表們直接在推特上開嗆啦！
　
中國駐聯合國代表團推文說：台灣問題早在聯大2758號決議案決定，強烈反對台灣參與世衛，而且這是干涉中國內政的行為，美國是在為沒有妥善回應COVID-19推卸責任！
　
🔺 簡評１：
Errrr，先前中共外交部發言人赵立坚試圖將病毒來源講是美國刻意傳播，結果美國國務院召見中國大使表達抗議。這回，中國駐聯合國代表又繼續戰狼外交，我們來看看接下來會發生什麼事。
　
對了，聯合國大會2758號決議的內容是：「中華人民共和國的代表在聯合國當中代表中國，並把蔣介石的代表從聯合國及所有相關組織當中驅逐出去。」這決議跟台灣問題沒有什麼關聯呢。
　
再說，不管美國怎麼對待台灣都是美國內政的範圍呀！中國（PRC）從來沒有統治過台灣，每次在那邊喊干涉內政實在是很好笑啊！
　
🔺 簡評２：
這大概是國務院在台灣與聯合國相關議題上，歷來最直接也最積極的一次表態，還發起了轉推的行動！！

Amongst the breakfast selection, the Roti Canai is one of the best-sellers while other options include Thosai, Nasi Lemak and Lontong.

【陳德章獄中問財爺：長者生活要有尊嚴，你能聽到嗎？】

社民連秘書長陳德章因爭取全民退休保障，向梁振英財爺掟蛋案，被囚三星期。

他在獄中質問曾俊華：「閣下身為財政司司長，何時才會切實為香港人設立一個全民退休保障制度呢？」

《給曾俊華司長的一封獄中信》

致財政司司長曾俊華先生：

　　我在獄中已有一個星期了，起初確實有點不習慣，但慢慢開始適應，而監獄的狀況更令我深切體會到社會不同問題的嚴重性，尤以長者貧窮問題最為逼切。

　　從當天的行動到走進監獄的一天，我只想向社會大眾及特區政府包括司長閣下表達清楚明確的信息，就是「香港需要全民退休保障和全民普選」！第一天到達荔枝角收押所，身邊有不少都是上年紀的在囚人士，絕大多數都是觸犯輕微罪行，如盜竊罪或走水貨等。從他們的罪行及性質，反映現時香港長者貧窮非常嚴重，這些長者並非十惡不赦的犯罪份子，只是不能解決生活問題才鋌而走險。我不是要合理化這些犯罪行為，而是希望從現實的角度突顯在香港這個繁華都市背後，長者貧窮問題已是如斯嚴重。

　　在獄中，我沒有電腦，未能提供清楚的數字，只能透過依稀的印象，記得在香港長者中，大約是三個老人一個貧。這個現實向閣下和社會大眾反映清晰響亮的信息，就是香港長者活得很沒有尊嚴。閣下身為財政司司長，何時才會切實為香港人設立一個全民退休保障制度呢？

　　社民連在議會《財政預算案》拉布三年，我亦不惜付上個人自由，只想表達我們要公義，長者生活要有尊嚴，你能聽到嗎？過往在議會中，長毛向你表達全民退休保障的訴求時，閣下叫他「行開啲啦！」；面對我的雞蛋，閣下只是向記者微笑回答：「醫生叫我唔好食咁多蛋！」閣下可能覺得自己很富幽默感，但我感到閣下並沒有認真聆聽我們的訴求和看看社會的現況。我只能佩服閣下的巧舌把無比空洞的說話說得頭頭是道，僅只如此。今後，我再不會說當天的雞蛋是誤中副車，因為閣下只是擁有較梁振英具觀眾緣的外表，卻同樣對香港未來發展及長遠政策未有任何建樹，蛋無虛發，司長受之當然！

　　前天，媽媽來監獄探望我，心裡難受，她說：「衰仔，由小學著緊你的學業，升上英皇書院，又供你到美國讀一所不錯的大學，到現在碩士了，再到今天監獄來看你，媽媽很心痛！但我無怪你，因為我知你不是一時衝動，而是為社會做事。既然你選擇這條路，就一定一定要堅持走到底！」我不知道自己是否能夠像媽媽口中所說要堅持走到底，我只知道即使今天走進監獄，也是無悔無恨，出獄後定會再透過一切可行的方式，向社會及政府爭取全民退休保障及全民普選制度，克盡己任，百折不撓！

Letter from jail to Mr John Tsang, the Financial Secretary

Dear Mr Tsang,

I have been sent to jail for a week and started to get used to the life here. What I hear and see here reflects the severity of different social problems, especially elderly poverty.

By throwing eggs towards the government officials, I just want to tell the public and the officials that “Hong Kong needs universal retirement protection and universal suffrage”! On the first day in Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre, I observed that there were many elderly prisoners. Most of them have just violated minor offences like theft or parallel trading. They are not atrocious criminals, but poor elderlies risking danger in desperation for a living. I am not justifying these offences but I would like to reveal how serious elderly poverty is in reality behind the prosperous scene in Hong Kong.

I cannot provide an accurate figure of poor elderly population as I cannot access to computers in prison. According to my memories, there is a poor elderly in every three elderlies in Hong Kong. It gives the public a clear message that elderly in Hong Kong can hardly live with dignity. As a Financial Secretary, when would you set up universal retirement protection for us?

The League of Social Democrats has been filibustering in the Legislative Council on universal retirement protection for three years, and I have even sacrificed my personal freedom to express our desire for justice and the grievances of the elderly. Can you hear the people’s need? Leung Kwok Hung (Long Hair) has raised the issue of universal retirement protection in LegCo but you told him to “stay away”; I have thrown eggs towards you but you just smiled and replied “doctors asked me to eat less eggs”. You may find yourself humorous, but apart from telling vague words in a bureaucratic tone, I can see no serious consideration from you on our wants and the societal needs. From now on, I would not say that it was an accident for the egg to hit you; you deserve that! Except having a better sense of affinity than CY Leung, you also lack contribution to the long term development of Hong Kong.

My mother visited my two days ago and sadly said, “I concerned about your study since you were in primary school. You got into Kings College, then a good university in the US, finally studying master degree now. I have deep sorrow coming to prison to see you today. However, I will not blame on you as I know you are not reckless but contributing to the society. You have to persist in walking this path!” I do not know whether I can fulfill my mother’s words. I just know that I do not feel regret or hateful even I am in jail today. I would fight for universal retirement protection and universal suffrage by all means when I was released. I would not lose my heart in spite of all setbacks!

The long wait for local Instant Pot fans is finally over, it has landed on Singapore's shores!

For those who haven’t tried it yet, Instant Pot is one pot that can do all this: Slow cooking, pressure cooking, sauté, browning, soups, and more. We jumped on the bandwagon and tried making a recipe using this hugely raved product, by making a beef rendang dish. As you can see in the video, it’s really easy to make it all happen in one pot!

We'd say an Instant Pot can be really helpful in simplifying cooking at home, especially for families with busy lifestyles. We reduced our Rendang cook time from 4-hour slow cooking to 45 mins of pressure cooking - it makes a great addition to any home kitchen!

Instant Pot is giving away free accessories with every online pre-order from now until 15 September, so for our interested viewers, don't miss out!
