Taiwan's "queen of ballroom dancing" Serena Liu remains in a critical condition despite reports claiming she has regained consciousness.

Last Wednesday (Feb 19), Taiwan's Liberty Times reported that Liu, 44, had fallen into a coma after undergoing heart valve repair surgery at Taipei Veterans General Hospital on Feb 7. The celebrity dancer has since been put on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or Ecmo, for 17 days.
