【Taiwan to be the 2nd largest surgical mask producer】
⬆Publish Time：2020-02-19
Facing a worldwide supply shortage of surgical masks during the global #COVID-19 outbreak, the Taiwan government, fast collaborating with local industry technology research institutes as well as smart-machinery & automation sectors, will increase mask production to meet the demand domestically, and in the process turn Taiwan into the 2nd largest surgical mask producer in the world✨.


The collaboration with industry sectors has effectively reduced the production cycle of mask equipment from 2 months to 1 week and completed 60 production lines from six months to just one month, ready to produce 10 million pieces per day by the end of February to early March.


🇹🇼Taiwan plays a crucial role in global machine tool industry🔧. Taiwan is the 7th largest machine tool maker, with 80% of products exported to 138 countries. The exported value stood at 3.06 billion U.S dollar in 2019, making Taiwan the 5th largest machine tool exporter in the world.


🇹🇼Taiwan’s machinery clusters are based in #Taichung, with over 1,500 machine tool makers and 10,000 satellite firms nearby, enabling flexible production, specialties sharing, and short lead times. Such comprehensive and high-density clusters also made Taiwan’s machine tools industries highly competitive and customer-oriented, offering high quality products through efficient and cost-effective operations.


In recent years, a growing number of machinery manufacturers are making the leap to smart machinery production, utilizing a combination of automation technology, Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI).


TAITRA will hold SOURCING TAIWAN 2020- a sourcing event featuring quality suppliers of Machinery x Hand tool x Bicycle x Automotive electronics on July 15th (Wednesday) in Taichung where important industry clusters are based.

對於二手市集 有人喜歡有人不喜歡
但在歐美卻是大行其道啊！
在時代鼓吹fast fashion的時候，買衣服有時只能穿到一季
看似很便宜 但其實是浪費了錢也不環保
有機會不妨逛逛這種古著店或二手市集
可能你會找到一件經得起時代洗禮 品質還是很好的心頭好啊:D

[WHY HONG KONG HAS THE LONGEST LIFE EXPECTANCY?]

50.1 years. According to the World Health Organization, this is the average life expectancy in the country of Sierra Leone. As of now, one of the lowest in the world.

At the other end of the spectrum, we have countries like Italy, Iceland, Singapore and Switzerland all with an average life expectancy well into their 80’s. Now beating all those countries however, is (of course) Japan, topping the list at 83.7 years. (Note that the UN data is a little different). Regardless, this is the country with the longest average life expectancy.

But, this video is not about Japan, because there is a city with an even longer life expectancy.

This is Hong Kong, a city with over 7.4 million people living on about a thousand square kilometres of land. One of the most densely populated places on the planet - a fast paced city that never sleeps.

It’s a city of contradictions with towering buildings next to lush green mountains, street food stalls alongside McDonald’s & KFC’s, markets selling cheap counterfeits in front of designer stores, but the most surprising perhaps is the extremely long life expectancy of the people living in what is one of the most polluted cities in the world.

Hong Kong has an average life expectancy of 84.3 years.

Ironically enough, Hong Kong literally translates to ‘Fragrant Harbour’.

This video will cover:
- Hong Kong weather and climate
- Londons' Great Smog of 1952
- Geographical access to good food
- Cuisine / diet
- Accessibility of walkways and footpaths
- Fitness and habits
- Taichi & Qigong
- Environment
- WHO global network of age-friendly cities
- Hong Kong's healthcare system / primary care / hospital treatment
- Smoking
- Strong family ties
- Mahjong
- Retirement age
- Many older generation Hong Kongers were not boring in China, but in Mainland China
- China's Cultural Revolution
