Taiwan can help. That's the message that Taiwan is sending to Myanmar after a magnitude 7.7
00:07
earthquake struck the Southeast Asian country on March 28th, killing thousands of people
00:12
and destroying whole communities. Now Taiwan is calling for donations to help those in
00:18
need. And nearly a week after the quake, they say they have finally found a way to get help
00:24
into the country's tightly controlled borders.
00:26
They really need help. And this process of help is not something you can get just because
00:32
you want to. We have to think of all kinds of ways to send our love into the country.
00:39
So please, media friends, don't ask us how to send it. Because once our channels are
00:45
exposed, we will be blocked. You all know why. I don't need to say more. Who will block
00:54
Taiwan?
00:55
Myanmar has close ties with China, which funds many of its infrastructure projects.
01:00
And the military junta that currently occupies the government did not respond to Taiwan's
01:04
early offer of a standby rescue team. Students from Myanmar also urged Taiwan to help their
01:09
families back home.
01:10
These Central Plains are blocked by many factors. We always say that earthquakes are part of
01:19
the world. We want to help Myanmar and those affected by the quake.
01:31
Taiwanese business people in Myanmar say they can use their connections in the country to
01:35
get aid to those who need it.
01:37
We are short of supplies. We are short of flashlights, tents, blankets, first aid kits,
01:44
food, drinking water, bedding, mattresses. We are short of supplies. We are short of
01:53
supplies. We are short of supplies. We are short of supplies.
02:00
Despite the challenges, the Taiwanese community says they are determined to get aid to those
02:05
in Myanmar.
