After the outbreak of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, countries around the world have imposed economic sanctions on Russia, and Taiwan has followed suit, prohibiting the export of dual-use items such as semiconductors to Russia. Xu Ruiwen, an international relations expert, published a short story regarding Putin and Taiwan on the opinion page of China Times News. She recalled that when the 921 earthquake occurred, Putin, then the Russian Prime Minister, personally ordered a Russian rescue team to come to Taiwan for disaster relief. Some netizens were surprised by the past of Taiwan and Russia, and said, “The so-called good and bad, good and evil are not absolute.”
Xu Ruiwen posted on the speech page of “Zhongshi News Network”, saying that Russia is facing a lot of scolding in the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. But when the 921 earthquake occurred in Taiwan, Putin, who had just assumed office for more than a month, personally ordered a Russian rescue team to come to Taiwan for disaster relief. During the darkest week in Taiwan, Putin sent us warmth; Russia’s Primorsky Province also donated more than 3,000 cubic meters of Siberian logs, including handling, shipping, and freight, all of which were borne by the people of Primorye. Russian ships directly transported logs to Kaohsiung Port to assist Taiwan’s post-disaster reconstruction. Xu Ruiwen expressed her gratitude that this is Russia, where humanity knows no borders and sees true love in adversity. When Taiwan experienced a huge disaster, it offered warmth in the cold winter and charcoal in the snow with compassion and love.
Netizens have expressed, “Don’t expect to give back, and don’t be ungrateful! This person wants what he wants!”, “The Soviet Union was the first to send reinforcements during the war. Great America has to wait for 4 years until its face is Pakistani. It will appear”, “Have good intentions, speak good words, and do good deeds. If you have good intentions, you will follow them. The so-called good and bad, good and evil are not absolute.”
Some netizens also thought, “See clearly the interests of the media, the interests of the ruling party, and the interests of the United States, we will not do unnecessary things, but should: pursue the real interests of the whole people: no war! No hatred! Very Is it simple?” “Taiwan-Russia relations are not bad in the first place, not only Taiwan-Russia relations, but also Taiwan-Libya relations. The Libya, which was killed by NATO, went to visit Libya at that time. Taiwan-North Korea relations are also very good, North Korea’s North Korea, North Korea is also willing to help Taiwan deal with low-level nuclear waste.”
