Germany also says “learn from Taiwan”! As China shock 2.0 looms, 德國工業聯合會 bluntly says: learn from the “non-red supply chain”
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
德國工業聯合會 (BDI) official 史特拉克 said at a Berlin forum on October 15 that, faced with “China shock 2.0”—the impact of low-cost Chinese products on European markets—Germany should take a cue from Taiwan’s “non-red supply chain” concept, reduce reliance on key industries and work with trusted partners.
Facts
Germany and France submitted a joint proposal to the EU in October, calling for stronger trade defense tools and a faster response mechanism to economic coercion.
史特拉克 said China supports manufacturing through national industrial policies, state-owned enterprises and state-owned banks, creating enormous production capacity that is then pushed overseas and subjecting European companies operating in a market economy to structurally unfair competition.
In 和大’s case of setting up a factory in the United States, a customer demanded that “not even one small component can come from China,” showing that non-red supply-chain requirements now extend to materials and tiny parts.
Germany's 蔡司 (ZEISS) has an edge in precision optics, forming a positive interdependent relationship in the semiconductor sector with Taiwan, which excels in advanced chip manufacturing, and the Netherlands' 艾司摩爾 (ASML), which has expertise in lithography equipment technology.

Explainer》Which arm should you use to measure blood pressure, the left or the right? If the readings differ, which should you trust? The Health Promotion Administration reveals “1 principle”; many people get it wrong from the very first step
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 風傳媒
The Ministry of Health and Welfare's Health Promotion Administration and Food and Drug Administration issued blood pressure measurement guidelines explaining normal differences between left- and right-arm readings and when to seek medical care. They also promote the “722” home measurement principle to help people manage their blood pressure correctly.
Facts
The Health Promotion Administration recommends measuring blood pressure once on each arm the first time, then consistently using the arm with the higher reading.
If the difference in systolic pressure between the left and right arms exceeds 20 mmHg, people are advised to seek further evaluation and treatment from a doctor.
Studies have found that a difference of at least 15 mmHg in systolic pressure between the arms is associated with an increased risk of peripheral artery disease.
The Health Promotion Administration recommends that people aged 18 and above regularly record their home blood pressure using the “722 principle.”
Before measuring blood pressure, it is best to sit quietly and rest for 5 minutes, keeping the arm at the same height as the heart.

iPhone Duo limited to 2 units per customer worldwide: can 蘋果’s strictest-ever purchase limit really stop scalpers?
Published ・ Source Taiwan | 鉅亨網
蘋果 launched its first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, which is in short supply due to production constraints and scalpers. To protect consumers, 蘋果 has imposed a limit of 2 units per person in many parts of the world, but premiums on the secondhand market remain steep.
Facts
蘋果’s first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, was in short supply after preorders opened, and premiums on the secondary market surged noticeably.

The iPhone Duo will officially go on sale Friday (23), with four storage capacities: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB.
Because of low yields for the foldable-screen hinge and assembly, initial inventory is limited, and online orders on the official website are already scheduled to ship in January next year.
Scalpers can still get around the limits by using multiple credit cards, different delivery addresses and email addresses, making it difficult to eliminate reselling entirely.
