World Health Organization Director Again Parrots Chinese Propaganda in Anti-Taiwan Tirade

Beijing certainly would have approved of Tedros' decision to lash out at Taiwan. After all, while democratic Taiwan has handled the coronavirus crisis with as much success as any other place in the world, further strengthening its symbol of what a free and democratic China could look like, the CCP has successfully pressured the WHO not to recognize it.

This includes the WHO's decisions to exclude Taiwan from its World Health Assembly for the last three years, and to bar Taiwan from an emergency WHO conference on the coronavirus in January - attendance which, in retrospect, might have benefited the world tremendously given Taiwan's handling of the crisis.
