I don’t think Americans understand what it means to Taiwanese. Taiwan is the only country which can’t be accepted as a member at the UN because of China. They are not allowed to use their national flag in international events, their diplomatic relationship with all the countries were arbitrarily terminated at the request of China. It is a small country with 25million people. But they have their name Taiwan across their chest, they are more emotional than other national athletes .

中国刚刚下令中石化和中石油停止出口柴油和汽油。 不是减缓，而是停止。 北京看了看霍尔木兹海峡，又看了看自己的燃料库存，做出了一个决定：什么都不准出去。在另行通知之前，中国炼出的每一桶油都要留在中国境内。 当世界最大的制造国——全球供应链的发动机、从半导体到太阳能板再到你身上衣服的 “世界工厂”——开始配给燃料时，这场经济冲击波就不可能只停留在海湾。 中国炼油企业估算，他们大约只有 10 天的缓冲期，超过这个时间，国内运营就会真正受到限制。如果霍尔木兹在这之后仍然关闭，中国会在两个月内遭遇实质性的供应问题。
