That occurred on the basis of adherence to the one-China principle and 1992 Consensus on both sides of the Taiwan Straits.
Be it WHO or WHA, they are both international platforms with sovereign states as members, Taiwan island, as part of China's territory, is not supposed to have a place in them, Yuan Zheng, deputy director of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of American Studies, told the Global Times.įrom 2009 to 2016, Taiwan region was allowed to participate in the WHA as an observer for eight consecutive years. Even if some countries tend to think that Taiwan island has its peculiarities, they all recognize it as part of China, with the government of People's Republic of China (PRC) being the sole legal government representating the whole of China. The one-China principle is the foundation for diplomatic relations between China and over 180 countries. Secessionist forces will only find it harder and harder to shake it. One-China principle has overwhelming international support and represents the prevailing trend. Nearly 100 countries wrote to the WHO director-general or issued public statements to make that clear.ĭPP has apparently underestimated the international community's ability to discern their misdeeds.
It was a subtle way of saying ''no.''Ĭhen Xu, China's Permanent representative to the UN Office at Geneva, said nearly 140 countries have communicated to China that they stand for the one-China principle and oppose Taiwan's participation in the WHA. Tedros responded by saying that it would be a decision made by the 194 member states of the WHO. In other words, it is a decision made by the majority, and is a warning to the embarrassing political farce of the DPP authority.īefore joining WHA's customary "Walk the Talk" event on Sunday, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was surrounded by reporters from Taiwan. It is a decision made by both the General Committee and the Plenary Session of the 76th WHA respectively. On Monday, the WHA, the highest decision-making body of the World Health Organization (WHO), announced not to include in the agenda a proposal on Taiwan's participation in the annual assembly as an observer. Just like the past six years, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), seeking an observer status in WHA, was denied again. "Taiwan independence" forces, jumping up and down during the ongoing 76th World Health Assembly (WHA), got a slap in the face. The 76th World Health Assembly (WHA), kicked off here on Sunday, focused on "saving lives, driving health for all," the World Health Organization (WHO) said in a statement.Photo: the website of the WHO ‘Taiwan independence’ forces got a slap in the face over WHA participation By Global Times Published: 09:07 PM
