On August 12th, Tai wan experienced an extremely heavy afternoon thundershower. The scientist named it Morkaot. I heard that it has killed at least 126 people and there are about 61 people missing in Taiwan. I am sure it has definitely caused a huge lost financially. I would say at least more than 1 hundred million dollars.
I feel really sorry for people in Tai Wan. The government in China takes very quick actions to help Tai Wan people. But there is a strange thing confuses me. Tai Wan government refused Chinese helicopters and army to go there. However they do accept money and relief materials.
That's very confusing, we may have saved more people in the first place if they agreed the helicopter to go there, but they didn't. what they did is to wait for the Japanese and American helicopters. It turned our to be only 2. Come on, that's not enough. They need as many as possible.
I think the reason behind is mostly "Politics". Maybe they think it will be dangerous to allow Chinese army to enter Tai Wan Island. So they prefer to wait for the Americans while at the same time they missed the best time to save people's life. This is not smart. By the way, China is the first country to offer help after the hurricane.

Yours is a good heart as I’m sure is the case with many people in China. Unfortunately, politics gets in the way of both compassion and common sense—even between people of shared heritage and culture. Hopefully, one day, the political distrust between China and Taiwan will come to an end peacefully and to the benefit of both. | |
