那么我先给大家看我今天到底发什么样的礼物给大家。这些礼物呢就是这边台侨团体做的。很可爱啊。台湾，这是一个小别针，台湾。然后一个小女孩，她抱著台湾和抱著这个珍珠奶茶。很可爱。觉得蛮值得的。就才一个国家就有这么可爱的别针。
好，首先，谢谢你们各位同意参与我的节目。我这里有一面旗子，你们想拿的话可以拿著。这是哪个国家的旗子，这就是问题。好。我第一眼看不出来。可以先给我们一个提示吗？亚洲，它在亚洲。我再给你们第二个提示，它是一座岛。岛，印尼？不，不是印尼，但它离印尼很近。你们应该往北边找，它介于日本和菲律宾之间，在地理上。而且它的开头是字母T。台湾？是台湾没错，就是台湾。太棒了。那这样我得给你们两份礼物。太棒了。这里有一些小徽章。哦，好可爱。你看，有珍珠奶茶，来自台湾。哦，真的吗？它是在台中这个城市发明的。还有微晶片，台湾以微晶片闻名。你们可能也知道那台湾和中国之间有冲突。我知道，中国认为那是他们的一部分领土，而台湾想要……他们想要成为独立的个体。我知道他们之间有极大的紧张关系，中国会攻击他们，而且……是的，你们是哪里人？希望不是攻击。我来自乔治亚。俄罗斯。乔治亚、俄罗斯，好。我们两国之间也有紧张关系，希望人民之间没有任何紧张。但你觉得如果台湾人民，他们想要独立自主，全世界的人都应该支持他们吗？我其实不知道，因为我没办法回答这个问题，因为我不了解台湾的历史。因为举例来说，在乔治亚，也有一个部分叫做阿布哈兹，它从乔治亚分离出去，而它仍然算是乔治亚，就像我们认为它是乔治亚的一部分，但他们只有乔治亚这一小部分，说他们是独立国家，而他们受到俄罗斯极大的影响。对，他们受到支持，没错。所以想像一下，如果我不知道完整的历史，而我会说，对啊，阿布哈兹去吧。但既然我来自乔治亚，我知道那些背景故事，还有这种分离主义之类的，我没办法对台湾说出一样的话，在不了解整件事来龙去脉的情况下。
你大概知道中国的历史，内战的历史吧？蒋介石和中共。台湾的问题在于，它以前是日本统治的，对，然后是中华民国政府来了，然后他们输了内战，然后他们全都搬到那里。所以中国的共产党政府，他们从未统治过台湾，他们从未控制过台湾。所以，你可以把它想成东德和西德，但德国是不是不愿意加入西方？德国，还是德国不愿意加入东德？因为时间过了，时间已经过了这么久，而他们只是认为他们想过自己的生活。但中国说不行，你是我领土的一部分，你是我势力范围的一部分，你应该属于我。你有什么看法？你支持独立，还是？我也不……某种程度上，那样说跟台湾没什么关系，而且，我的意思是，这样说不太好，但它很远，而我没有参与那些政治的事情，你知道吗？比如说，我没办法为那个国家投票，比如说，我不知道如果俄罗斯发生了什么事，多少会影响到我。但我住在这里，而既然那是，我没有在那里投票，我没有某种程度上参与。台湾会影响到你。台湾绝对会，全世界都该意识到微晶片这件事。你有手机，像是微处理器、RAM、微晶片，所有东西都来自台湾。其次，它也……它更与太平洋地区相关，但现在台湾与美国的关系非常好。如果台湾成为中国的一部分，中国将对整个太平洋拥有更大的影响力，就像那里有潜舰，什么都有，基本上能影响就像整个西方、西、西……西方世界。所以就是这么回事。但是，让我这样说，我希望有一天你们两位能去台湾看看，跟那里的人聊聊，看看美丽的风景，看看他们真实的处境，然后你再自己做决定。我唯一能肯定说的是，没有任何国家，无论大小，应该被迫加入某个大帝国，靠武力。是啊，身为乔治亚人你知道的，是啊。是啊，我完全站在那一边，我支持那些被迫像被并吞的国家。并吞，是啊。那样的话，当然，没有任何国家应该被迫，但除此之外，我不知道，对。说得很好，谢谢你们，谢谢你们，祝你们有美好的一天。谢谢你。非常感谢。乔治亚语要怎么说？乔治亚语的谢谢要怎么说？Madlova。马德洛娃。谢谢你，马德洛娃。谢谢你。
你们是从波兰来的，对吧？好，那请便，你们可以待在这里。好，但我们会用英文录影，可以吗？我们从第一个开始：非常感谢你们执行了我的计划。有哪些国家是这样的？你们觉得呢？我不知道，这是一个像欧洲的国家吗？不，不是欧洲国家，是亚洲国家。亚洲的？我刚才就是说，某个这个……这是个亚洲国家。我不知道，哈萨克。这是island。Island。岛屿。
而且它几乎位在日本和菲律宾之间。而且它是以 T 开头的。珍珠奶茶。Bubble Tea。开玩笑的，没有。地理？地理。在日本和菲律宾之间。菲律宾。不，不是，这应该要再低一点。这是亚洲的，对吧？你有手机，里面有一枚来自这个国家的晶片。他们以科技非常出名。所有以 T 开头的国家。亚洲地理我这的不太好。而这不正是，怎么说，不是这样。不是哈萨克，所有这类国家。某种什么国。不是那样的东西。岛，岛，不是哈萨克啦。某个岛。嗯。在菲律宾和日本之间，那一定是个岛。对啊，是啊，可是……我不知道，但那里有哪些国家是T开头的？就是那个Bubble Tea，它以微晶片闻名。是T开头的。那……Tai……泰国？不是。好，我还是会给你一个礼物。因为你们很认真地想了。对，对。这是什么旗帜？给波兰同事们的。再读一次。喔，好。所以，这是什么国家。对，这是台湾。你还知道台湾的什么事吗？嗯，我不知道。不，好。好，这么说吧：台湾与中国之间的关系……就是这样，这就是……就像俄罗斯与乌克兰一样。我就是想这么说，这就是……芬兰与俄罗斯。对，对，因为来自中国的威胁非常大。那就冲掉吧，嗯，我记得，我们记得历史。嗯，嗯。就像我说的，各位。那么现在，各位你们知道。好，我们一定会记住了。好的，谢谢，我们继续。非常感谢。谢谢，一切顺利。再见。

Oh my god I have it wait it's. You probably know the place it's a famous country it's a famous place but the flag is not very well known so. No I've never seen the flag. it's definitely not Thailand that I know. It's not Thailand no.
It starts with T? Yeah. Oh man I don't have it. Okay boba tea comes from there sweet tea. microchips tea thank thank tea you know it. Tea and island? Yeah it sounds similar to Thailand also Thai something. It's Taiwan! It is! It is Taiwan. do you know anything else about Taiwan yeah? Okay and I've never seen the flag before. It looks like that and okay. I will count it as a right. Really? Oh my god hell yeah!
And here's a little gift. Oh Taiwan super thank you very much! You probably know that China is claiming Taiwan as a part of their territory and they have beef with China and they want to stay their own thing, they want to stay independent. That's why I'm showing the flag, raising awareness, talking about Taiwan and just hope that more people know about this country. I used to live there for more than nine years, my wife is Taiwanese. Okay super. Very involved. It's very nice, you're spreading the good word and like so people know what's going on, that's very good. They have a very cool ambassador to Finland actually, he's a heavy metal star. Heavy metal star? Yeah yeah and right now he's an ambassador, yeah Freddie Lim. I have to check him up. Oh do do do the band is called Chthonic? Yeah. Okay super, I will definitely do that.
So first, let me show everyone what kind of gift I actually have for everyone today. These gifts were made by the Taiwanese community group here. They're so cute. Taiwan—this is a little pin, Taiwan. And then a little girl holding Taiwan and holding this bubble tea—so cute. I feel it's quite worth it. Just one country, and it has such a cute pin.
Alright first of all thank you guys for agreeing to take part in my show. And I have a flag here, you can hold it if you want to. And which country's flag this is, the question. Okay. I don't know from my first sight. Can we get a first hint for example? Asia, it's in Asia. And I'll give you the second one, it's an island. Island Indonesia? Not not Indonesia, but it's very close to Indonesia, you should go north. It's between Japan and the Philippines geographically. And it starts with the letter T. Taiwan? It is Taiwan, yeah, it is Taiwan. Nice. I'll have to give you two gifts then. Nice. There are little pins. Oh so cute. You see there is bubble tea comes from Taiwan. Oh really? It was invented in the town of Taichung. And also microchips, Taiwan is very well known for its microchips. And you probably also know that there is a conflict between Taiwan and China. I know. China thinks that it's part of their territory and Taiwan wants to They want to be their own thing. I know there is a huge tension between them. China is going to attack them and
Yes, where are you from guys? Hopefully not attacking. I'm from Georgia. Russia. Georgia, Russia, okay. And we also have a tension between our countries. Hopefully the people don't have any tensions. But do you think if Taiwanese people, they want to be themselves, that everyone in the world should support them? I don't know actually, because I cannot answer that, because I don't know the history of Taiwan. Because for example in Georgia, there is also part, it's called Abkhazia, which is separated from Georgia. And it's still Georgia like, we consider it Georgia, but they Only this small part of Georgia says that they are independent country, and they were hugely influenced by Russia. Yeah, they were supported, yeah. So imagine like, if I don't know the whole history and I would say like, yeah, go Abkhazia, but since I'm from Georgia and I know the backstory and this separatism and stuff, I cannot say the same thing about Taiwan without knowing the whole story how it happened.
You probably know the history of Chinese civil war right? The Chiang Kai-shek and CCP. The problem with Taiwan is, it used to be ruled by Japan. Yeah. And then the ROC Republic of China government came. And then they lost the civil war and they all moved there. So the communist government of China, they never ruled over Taiwan, they never controlled Taiwan. So you can think of it as East and West Germany, but East Germany not willing to join the West Germany, or West Germany not willing to join the East Germany? Because the time passed, the time has been so long and they just think that they want to live their own lives. But China says, no, you're a part of my area, you're a part of my sphere of influence, you should be mine. What's your opinion? Do you support independence or? I'm also not, kind of not related to Taiwan in that sense and I mean, it's bad to say this thing, but it's far away and I'm not participating in those political things, you know?
I can't vote for the country for example like I don't know for example if something happens in Russia it kind of affects me, but I'm living here and since that's I don't vote there I don't kind of participate. Taiwan will influence you, Taiwan definitely whole world to like realize on microchips. You have a phone like microprocessors RAM, microchips everything it comes from Taiwan. And secondly it's also, it's more Pacific related, but right now Taiwan is in very good relationships with the United States. If Taiwan becomes a part of China, will have much bigger influence on the whole Pacific. Like there are submarines there are everything can influence basically like the whole western west western world. So that's that thing.
But let me put it like that. I hope that one day both of you visit Taiwan, talk to the people there, see the beautiful scenery, see how they are in reality. And then you make up your mind. Only thing I can definitely say this. No country small or big one, should be forced to join some big empire by force. Yeah as Georgian you know that yeah. Yeah I totally on that side and I support the countries which are forced to like annexate. Annexation yeah. YeahIn that case for sure none of the countries should be forced, but otherwise I don't know yeah. Nicely said thank you thank you guys, enjoy your day. Thank you. Thanks so much.
How do you say it in Georgian? How do you say thank you in Georgian? Madlova. Spasibo madlova. Thank you.

The Philippines. No, no, it should be lower. This is Asian, right? You have a phone, and there's a microchip that comes from that country. They are very famous for their technology.

It wasn't something like that. Island, island, it's not Kazakhstan. Some island. Mhm. Between the Philippines and Japan, it has to be an island. No, not like that, but... I don't know, but which countries were there on T? It's Bubble Tea; it's well-known and comes from a microchip. It starts with the letter T. Uh... Tai... Thailand? No. Okay, I'll still give you a gift. For the attempts. Yes, yes. What flag is this? For the Polish people. Read it again. Ooh, okay. So, what country is this? Yes, that’s Taiwan. Do you know anything else about Taiwan? Mmm, I don't know. No, okay.
Okay, well let me put it this way: the relations between Taiwan and China... Well, that's exactly it, that it's... Just like Russia with Ukraine. Well, that's exactly what I wanted to say, that it's... Or Finland with Russia. Yes, yes, because there is a very big threat from China. Well, cast it aside, well, I remember, we remember it from history. No, no. As I said, ladies and gentlemen. And now, ladies and gentlemen. All right, we will certainly remember it now. We will certainly remember it now. All right, thank you, let's move on. Thank you very much. Thank you, all the best. Bye bye
