Two Taiwanese high-tech companies have announced a donation of 10 million doses of anti-coronavirus vaccine made by Germany’s BioNTech to the island’s government, which faces political obstacles in fighting the pandemic.

Taiwan’s health minister suggested in February that Beijing might have blocked an earlier purchase of the BioNTech vaccine by the island democracy, which the mainland’s ruling Communist Party has never controlled but claims as part of its territory. A Chinese company, Fosun Pharma, owns BioNTech distribution rights for Greater China, which Beijing says includes Taiwan.

Taiwan has largely contained the pandemic with strict quarantines but has struggled to obtain vaccines for its 14 million people. It has reported 15,249 cases and 740 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University’s COVID-19 tracker.TSMC is the biggest contract manufacturer of processor chips for smartphones and computers. Hon Hai is the biggest assembler of smartphones and other electronics for Apple and other brands.
