"Where should Taiwan go?" The withdrawal of the United States from the WHO has put the DPP authorities in a dilemma

　　[Global Times reported reporter Cheng Dong] US President Trump officially wrote to the United Nations on the 7th, telling him to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO) from July 6 next year. This move also impacted the Taiwan authorities who had always wanted to join the WHO, putting them in a dilemma.

　　Taiwan United News Network noted on the 8th the WHO's position. When Nabalo, the WHO's Special Envoy for New Coronavirus Disease, was asked whether "the tension between the mainland and Taiwan on the issue of joining the WHO was the reason for Trump's decision to withdraw from the circle", he responded that whether Taiwan or other regions could become WHO The decision of the members has nothing to do with the WHO and the employees. "Everything is only related to the WHO managers. Every country in the world decides whether Taiwan or other members should join each year. Everyone knows this."

　　Taiwan’s “Minister of Health and Welfare” Chen Shizhong said on the 8th that the move by the United States is almost equivalent to an announcement of withdrawal, which will have a dramatic impact on the public health, medical and political circles. “We will maintain contact with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the American Association in Taiwan to understand The real thoughts and actions of the United States choose the best way to respond." The Kuomintang asked the DPP authorities to ask for their position. The Kuomintang recalled that in January 2017, the Trump administration announced its withdrawal from the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement), leaving the DPP authorities who had almost given up participating in the RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership) facing an embarrassing double blow. Failure to sign economic cooperation or free trade agreements with any of the top ranking trading partners has had a huge impact on Taiwan’s economic development, and no reasonable explanation has yet been seen by the DPP. For meaningful participation in WHO's health and well-being of Taiwan people, "the government must be serious about it." The Kuomintang stated that it would help the people of Taiwan to question the DPP authorities, "In terms of diplomacy and international participation, is it our responsibility to expand the international space of the Republic of China in accordance with the Constitution and the people, and with practical and feasible laws? Failure to send staff to attend WHA (World Health Assembly) for 4 years and accountability for executive heads? Did you continue to strive for meaningful participation in the filing of WHO in the absence of the United States? Or, did you follow the Trump administration to cut off contact with WHO? Feasible plan, and what is the general direction of the plan?"

　　"The United States is not playing with WHO, and where should Taiwan go in the future?" China Times reported on the 8th that since the outbreak of the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, American politicians have committed themselves to criticizing WHO and mainland China. In response, Taiwan, who wanted to reopen the door of WHA through good performance in the epidemic situation and donation of anti-epidemic materials, seemed at a loss. The article said that after the United States proposed a precise timetable for withdrawing from the WHO, the future of Taiwan should remain an unsolved problem. In fact, the United States did not give much practical support except for shouting and influencing some countries to support Taiwan’s entry into international organizations. Lianhe News said that the political motive for the United States to withdraw from the circle is quite obvious. It is for the presidential election at the end of the year and for further confrontation with Beijing. However, regardless of whether the United States has a separate organization or whatever Trump and Biden's election situation, Taiwan should not choose the side. station.
