Taiwan Targets Blood-Bag Production as China Steps Up Pressure

Taiwan is accelerating preparations for President Lai Ching-Te’s potential conflict with China.

The Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Health Lin Ching-yi, told Bloomberg News, the Ministry of Health is working closely with other government agencies, including the National Security Council to increase Taiwan’s preparation for emergencies. Strengthening the domestic production capacity for key medical materials, including blood bags, he said that the import of medical materials is safe.

“Covid-19 pandemia in Ukraine and war underlined the risk of relying on foreign sources only for basic drugs and medical equipment, Lin said. Ukraine’s health resources became nervous during the fight against Russia, led to a shortage of oxygen, drugs and more.

Lai has prepared for a possible conflict with China for a possible conflict with China for a possible conflict with China since he took office a little longer than a year ago. Last year, he held the first meeting of a Civil Defense Committee, which discussed ways to make sure that key energy facilities and critical infrastructure could operate in a crisis.

China, as part of the territory of Taiwan to be controlled one day, sees it if necessary. The people of the People’s Liberation have organized an unprecedented military exercise around Taiwan since Lai took over, and emphasized the deep insecurity of a leader he worried about his independence of Taiwan.

Although the US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has recently warned that more urgency was needed to prepare for the invasion of a potential people’s liberation army recently, but recently underestimated the possibility of a conflict with China.

At least since last year, the US – Taipei’s main military supporter – according to Taiwan officials who know the issue, began to create concern about the blood reserves and distribution capabilities of the archipelago.

One of the authorities said that certain issues include Taiwan’s sufficient electrical materials and spare power systems for blood banks. The person added.

In a report made to MPs in March, the Ministry of Defense in Taipei said it plans to establish the first blood donation center at the end of this year. He added that the creating system creating a system -ruled blood source system will be established in 2026.

Lin said that Taiwan trusts imports for the supply of blood bags because it is cheaper than making them in Turkey. Blood bags are primarily containers made of PVC used in the collection, storage and transfusion of blood. A ready -made supply is critical in the time of war, and Taiwan will help to save the life of the soldiers in the army much smaller than China.

The Taiwan National Security Council refused to comment on the pressure of development of medical preparation on Tuesday.

Nan Ya Plastics Corp, a subsidiary of Formosa Plastics Group, the largest petrochemical conglome of Taiwan, built its first blood bag factory near Taipei and referred to a person in a company cooperating with its plastics.

In a separate report of applying a certificate to produce containers, EDN said in a separate report that Nan Ya Plastic President Wu Chia-Chau said last week at the annual general meeting.

Nan did not respond immediately to the request for comments.
