When the outbreak was the most serious in 2020, countries across the world faced shortages of materials needed to fight the pandemic. Even surgical masks were hard to find. CDIB Capital Group Chairman Angelo Koo personally donated 1 million masks to New Jersey. "We stand with you! Lots of care and love from a little island on the other side of your world," Koo wrote on the package of surgical masks delivered to New Jersey.

New Jersey Government Phil Murphy publicly expressed his gratitude at a daily COVID-19 press conference and on Facebook, saying that he was very grateful for the help of the people of Taiwan on April 24, 2020.
