Interview with @klustout 5 years ago when @tsai_ingwen was elected as the first female president of the Chinese world. The world then was watching if she could be Angela Merkel of Asia.
Now as Merkel is set to step down this year, she is facing a painful decision to call for tougher lockdown to counter the spread of COVID-19 in Germany. Death toll doubles and 1500 cases added in single day in Germany now.
In this coronavirus crisis, Taiwan has been relatively safe and alert among the world in President Tsai’ hands since the outbreak. Although it is worried that infections inside one of the hospital in northern Taiwan might be occurring in the recent weeks. After 2 medical workers tested positive, another health care worker is among the confirmed cases of COVID-19. Under the higher standard, anticipated by the Taiwanese people, 3 new local cases could get on the Taiwanese government’s nerves.
Both of the two female leaders are confronted by the unpredictable virus.
While Merkel is ready to leave office in September, President Tsai is no doubt going to outshine as the merkel of Asia.
