Former premier Yu Shyi-kun yesterday said that China affairs are not the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) priority and that the party should focus on the economy, winning a legislative majority and securing its long-term goal of making Taiwan an independent, sovereign nation.

Yu also said he encouraged cross-strait engagement, but had reservations toward former premier Frank Hsieh’s (謝長廷) initiative of “constitutional one china” (憲法一中).

Taiwan’s indigenously developed Medigen COVID-19 vaccine is as effective in preventing deaths and serious symptoms as mRNA shots, a study to be published in the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s journal next month showed.

An early release of the study is available on the Web site of the Emerging Infectious Diseases journal.

The study, conducted by the Centers for Disease and Control (CDC), utilized data from Taiwan’s records of inoculations, hospitalizations and deaths since the local outbreak of the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 in 2022.
