TAIPEI/WASHINGTON - Despite strong efforts Taiwan did not get invited to this week’s meeting of a key World Health Organization body due to Chinese pressure, its foreign minister said on Monday, adding they had agreed to put the issue off until later this year.
Taiwan has said it wanted to share with the world its successful experience at fighting the coronavirus, having only reported 440 cases and seven deaths thanks to early detection and prevention work. A participant list for the abridged World Health Assembly taking place virtually from Geneva on Monday did not include Taiwan.
The administration of President Donald Trump has sharply criticised WHO’s performance during the pandemic, saying it was “China-centric” and has paused U.S. funding to the global body, a move Trump’s critics said was to deflect attention from what they see as a slow U.S. response.
