美國捐贈250萬劑莫德納疫苗20日抵台，指揮中心指揮官陳時中與AIT處長酈英傑身穿印有「TAIWAN」、「CDC」字樣的背心一同接機。TVBS記者劉亭廷今(23日)於《FOCUS全球焦點》中，接受主持人彭志宇線上訪問表示，「此舉可以顯示出美方對台灣態度相當友善，但礙於台美外交準則，『主權象徵』尚未解禁，台美交涉過程中，通常不會擺出中華民國國旗，以免踩到主權紅線。」 另外，歐盟日前宣布安全旅遊名單，台灣也在其中，官方Twitter更是罕見秀出中華民國國旗，劉亭廷說明「雖然『中華民國國旗』與『中華人民共和國國旗』並列在圖上，但台灣卻是被歸類在『實體與區域當局』，而非『國家』，歐盟此做法可以說是遊走在『一中政策』的灰色地帶。」
