<p>Via <a href="http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/in-solidarity-with-the-victims-of-harvey-taiwan-pledges-to-donate-800000-in-disaster-relief-to-houston/article/2632955">Washington Examiner</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Taiwanese people don&#8217;t have a lot in common with Texans. But while they&#8217;re separated by culture, language, and 8,000 miles of ocean, they do know what it&#8217;s like to shelter under punishing tropical storms.</p>
<p>As the city of Houston focuses on rescue efforts after Hurricane Harvey, Taiwan is looking toward reconstruction. &#8220;The government of Republic of China (Taiwan),&#8221; its Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Wednesday, &#8220;has decided to donate $800,000 for local governments and community disaster relief efforts.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to a translated excerpt of the statement provided to the Washington Examiner, the decision stems from a shared sense of &#8220;solidarity with the victims of Harvey because Taiwan experiences typhoons every summer and fall.&#8221;</p>
