JAKARTA - Taiwan shows a different attitude from its neighbor, China. If most Chinese officials make fun of Donald Trump who has COVID-19, Taiwan is actually giving support so that Trump will recover quickly. The reason is so that Trump can return to playing the psychological warfare with China.

Taiwan Parliament Speaker You Si-kun even said he was shocked after learning that Trump was part of the 35 million people worldwide who contracted COVID-19. On behalf of Taiwan's legislature, he offered a prayer for Trump.

You Si-kun said: I would like to take this opportunity to wish him a speedy recovery, so that he can continue to lead the world in fighting the wrath of communist China.

According to You Si-kun, since Trump took office, Sino-US relations have fallen to their lowest point, be it in trade, the Hong Kong issue, Taiwan and various other issues. In fact, Trump has been very outspoken in criticizing China's human rights record, especially regarding violence against Uighur Muslims in China-controlled Xinjiang or Hong Kong.

Although the US is still like most other countries that do not officially recognize the Taiwan government. However, the role of the US, which is the main supplier of weapons to Taiwan, makes this superpower one of the strongest international supporters.

Previously, democratic Taiwan had come under a lot of military pressure from China. the Chinese government considers the island to be its sovereign territory. To that end, the Chinese air force has frequently sent surprise attacks on Taiwan in recent weeks.
