Beijing has stepped up the strain on European states to reject Taiwan’s name to be represented at subsequent week’s meeting of the World Well being Group, arguing that its presence can solely be justified if it accepts that it’s a part of China.

The World Health Assembly is being held just about on Monday, and Taiwan’s attendance – in addition to a doable worldwide inquiry into the beginning of the pandemic – are prone to be the 2 large political flashpoints between China and the west.


Chinese language diplomats have been contacting governments throughout Europe to restrict the diplomatic help for Taiwan’s attendance, focusing on northern and jap European states. Sustaining collective EU unity on China is proving troublesome.

However in a letter to the Guardian, the previous Nato secretary normal Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the previous president of Poland Aleksander Kwaśniewski and the previous Swedish prime minister Carl Bildt argue that Taiwan must be permitted to attend due to its pioneering response to the pandemic, which has drawn on the teachings of the 2003 Sars outbreak.

“It’s regretful that geopolitics has prevented Taiwan from totally accessing the boards and companies of the World Health Organization – not least because the WHO might have benefited from its experience,” the authors argue.

Taiwan had observer standing on the WHO for seven years till 2016, when it was blocked by China, because it has been yearly since. Beijing believes Taiwan is deploying the WHO concern as a path to recognition internationally.

Donald Trump – locked into a multifaceted dispute with China – is already withholding US funds from the WHO, which he describes as “China-centric.”

He has led the requires Taiwan to be admitted to the UN physique, and help can be coming from Australia, the UK, Japan, Canada, Germany and New Zealand. China can be involved it could be dropping the help of India on the problem.

Rasmussen argues subsequent week’s meeting might show a turning level within the battle towards coronavirus, saying the pandemic has underlined the significance of sturdy multilateral coordination.

Within the letter, Rasmussen claims Taiwan’s success in controlling the virus exhibits the nation has classes to show the remainder of the world, including its attendance “may have no wider implications than to make sure that 23 million individuals with one thing to supply should not excluded from exchanging greatest practices”.


Taiwan’s well being minister, Chen Shih-chung, stated on Friday his nation couldn’t settle for China’s situations for its participation.

“We’ve no solution to settle for one thing that doesn’t exist,” Chen replied, referring to China’s demand that Taipei comply with its “one China” coverage to attend the meeting.

WHO officers say the director normal, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, can’t invite Taiwan since there are divergent views on the problem inside.

The EU international affairs chief, Josep Borrell, has known as for an impartial inquiry into the disaster, writing: “To strengthen our defences towards future pandemics, we additionally want an intensive, impartial scientific inquiry into the origins of the disaster.” China has been resistant, and the phrases of any inquiry, in addition to its timing, will probably be contested.

Final month, Tedros himself accused Taiwan of racist “assaults” over his dealing with of the coronavirus pandemic, an allegation that Taiwan denied as “unprovoked and unfaithful”.

Tedros’s declare got here after Taiwan stated in March that the group had ignored its December warnings that human-to-human transmission of coronavirus was doable.

A WHO tweet on 14 January stated: “Preliminary investigations carried out by the Chinese language authorities have discovered no clear proof of human-to-human transmission.”

However paperwork present that the worldwide physique warned the US and other countries concerning the threat of human-to-human transmission of Covid-19 as early as 10 January.

The Chinese language international ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian has dismissed claims of Chinese language dominance on the WHO as hearsay and smear-mongering.
