Following popular video blogger Nuseir Yassin’s video on how Taiwan has performed outstandingly against the COVID-19 pandemic, a member of Yassin’s Nas Daily team has posted a video urging other nations to learn from Taiwan in fighting the novel coronavirus, garnering more than 18 million views as of yesterday.

Agon Hare, Yassin’s cameraman, on Wednesday last week posted the video, titled The First Country to Win Against COVID-19, on the Project Nightfall Facebook page, which has 1.7 million followers.

Yassin, who has more than 15.6 million followers on the Nas Daily Facebook page, on May 2 posted a video titled Why This Country is a Coronavirus Hero, touting Taiwan’s success in preventing a local outbreak without having to implement lockdowns and saying that the nation has been helping other nations, despite not being recognized by many countries and the WHO for political reasons.

K.J. Chang (張少濂), who helped launch an online fundraising campaign to take out a full-page advertisement in the New York Times detailing Taiwan’s position amid controversy surrounding WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus’ accusations of racism against the nation, said that Nuseir Yassin’s girlfriend, Alyne Tamir, also posted a video to help rally support for Taiwan.    [FULL  STORY]
