Of course, you probably already know the examples I’m going to cite, right? Taiwan got our vaccines for young people. For adults, I thank the Japanese people for the kind donation. I myself got AstraZeneca from Japan, but at the time Moderna from U.S. and AstraZeneca from Japan do not apply for young people. So, for young people, we were totally kind of locked in a geopolitical situation, as you probably already know. But it’s the combination of the companies, namely, the Taiwan Semiconductor company, Foxconn group and the charity, Tzu Chi group, the three of them, completed the negotiation with Pfizer BNT, actually no Pfizer, just BNT on Germany and negotiated the donation of those vaccines to Taiwan. So, the young people in Taiwan understand that it’s thanks to the private sector and the social sector because Tzu Chi is a charity that they got the vaccines from.
