Taiwan on Thursday angrily condemned accusations from the World Health Organization's (WHO) boss that racist slurs against him had come from the island, saying racism did not exist in Taiwan in an escalation of its bitter quarrel with the body.
TAIPEI - Taiwan on Thursday angrily condemned accusations from the World Health Organization’s boss that racist slurs against him had come from the island, saying racism did not exist in Taiwan in an escalation of its bitter quarrel with the body.
Taiwan says it has been unable to get timely information and that Taiwanese lives have become political pawns. The WHO denies this. Tedros is not a popular figure in Taiwan due to suspicion he is too close to China and the WHO’s listing of Taiwan’s virus case numbers under China’s, despite it being totally separately governed.
Taiwan has been proud of its early and so far effective measures against the coronavirus, logging just 379 cases and five deaths to date, far lower than many of its neighbours.
