Quote:

"台湾将连续第四年以观察员的身份参与；在大会 [WHA] 上台湾被称为Chinese Taipei（中华台北）。但去年有民进党立委发现，世卫组织在其内部文件中将台湾称为中国台湾省，文件显示世卫组织在2005年与中国就台湾身份问题签署了备忘录。

"台湾目前是以类似红十字组织或巴勒斯坦的观察员身份参加世卫大会 * * * 其与其它观察员身份的一个不同之处，是出席世卫大会的邀请是由世卫组织每年提出邀请，而不是常态性的参加。美国国务院在上个月向国会提出的报告说，美方支持世卫对台湾的邀请常态化。

(华盛顿智库2049计划研究所执行主任"石明凯在接受美国之音采访时说，正因为台湾是最早受到来自中国黑客攻击的对象，台湾也因此累积了许多破解和防范中国网络攻击的经验和技术。虽然在取得先进的武器和军备上台湾必须仰赖美国，不过在网络安全的问题上，台湾反而可以对美国提供协助")
