The United States clamored for Taiwan’s participation in the WHA, the DPP authorities claimed "high expectations", and public opinion on the island bluntly stated that they were "not too optimistic."

　　[Global Times reporter Cheng Dong] The World Health Assembly (WHA) is about to open on the 24th of this month.

The DPP authorities continue to clamor, some anti-China forces in the United States and Europe are also beating the side drums, while the mainland is tit-for-tat, saying that Taiwan’s participation in international organizations must be handled in accordance with the one-China principle, and criticizing other countries for “openly interfering in China’s internal affairs.” China expresses its strong dissatisfaction and determination. Opposed.

　　According to Taiwan’s "China Times" report on the 9th, US Secretary of State Blinken issued a statement on the 7th, calling on World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Tedros to let Taiwan "immediately be invited to participate in the 74th World Health Assembly as an observer", and Said that "there is no reasonable reason to continue to exclude Taiwan from the WHA. If you do so, it will be extremely detrimental to the international collective efforts to prevent and control the epidemic and prevent future health crises."

Taiwan’s "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" immediately expressed its gratitude, mentioning that in addition to Brinken speaking for Taiwan in person, Congress has also repeatedly supported Taiwan’s participation in this year’s WHA through social media series, joint letters, passage of bills, and public speeches. Give full play to the leading role of coordinating countries to stand up for Taiwan."

Taiwan’s "Executive Yuan" spokesperson Luo Bingcheng said that he is very grateful to the United States, France and other countries for their support to Taiwan, "Taiwan will continue to enhance its international image and status, and deepen its partnership with countries with similar values."

　　Prior to this, on March 25, the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives of the United States Congress passed a bill requiring the State Department to help restore Taiwan’s WHA observer status.

On April 30, the spokesperson of the US State Department tweeted that “the voice of Taiwan must be heard at WHA”.

Instigated by the United States, the G7 foreign ministers' meeting on May 5 included the importance of peace in the Taiwan Strait for the first time in its post-meeting communiqué, saying that it supports Taiwan's "meaningful" participation in the WHO forum and WHA.

On the 6th, the French Senate also passed a resolution supporting Taiwan’s participation in international organizations for the first time, including the WHO and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

　　These actions have given the green camp and "Taiwan independence" elements on the island a "turn in".

Zhongshi Electronic News stated that the deadline for WHA delegation registration is before the end of get off work on May 10, European time.

On the 9th, Taiwan’s "Minister of Health and Welfare" Chen Shizhong claimed that "Taiwan holds high expectations for receiving the invitation letter."

Lin Shijia, executive director of the "Taiwan Medical Federation Foundation," said that the WHO recently stated that the World Health Assembly invites observers to the meeting and that all member states must adopt a "simple majority" method to propose a resolution on the qualifications of the meeting.

She said that the WHO used the "United Nations Resolution 2758" to obstruct Taiwan's participation in the past, and this year's adoption of a "simple majority" is a positive opportunity.

Tsai Mingxian, honorary chairman of the "Taiwan United Nations Association for the Advancement of the People's Republic of China", also "suggested" Tsai Ing-wen to hold an international press conference, stating that he should join in the name of "Taiwan" instead of "Chinese Taipei" because "the United States has made it clear that Taiwan needs to do so. Straight ball duel".

　　In response to the G7 foreign ministers’ recent statements in support of Taiwan’s participation, some Kuomintang “legislators” questioned that if Taiwan is still unable to participate in the WHA at the end of this month, they would just be a scam group.

　　Mainland Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Wang Wenbin said that Taiwan’s participation in international organizations must be handled in accordance with the one-China principle, which is an important principle confirmed by UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 and WHO Resolution 25.1.

The spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in France also criticized the French Senate’s adoption of Taiwan-related resolutions, advocating support for Taiwan’s participation in the World Health Assembly and its accession to the International Civil Aviation Organization, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the International Criminal Police Organization, which clearly violated the one-China principle and blatantly interfered in China’s internal affairs. .

　　Liao Daqi, a professor at the Institute of Political Affairs of Sun Yat-sen University in Kaohsiung, said that during the Ma Ying-jeou period, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait had the "92 Consensus", so they were able to participate in the WHA as an observer.

Zhang Yazhong, the president of Sun Wen School, made three points: First, when the Tsai Ing-wen authorities did not accept the "92 Consensus", Beijing would not agree to Taiwan's participation in the WHA as an observer; second, Western society and the mainland are fighting each other. At this stage, the West will make use of and continue to expand this issue; third, the more intense the dispute between the West and the mainland, the fewer opportunities for Taiwan to participate in the WHA. "Taiwan has basically become a card for the West against China, and the WHA is just a table... …An improvement in cross-strait relations is a necessary condition for Taiwan’s participation in the WHA."

Professor Huang Jiezheng of the Institute of International Affairs and Strategy of Tamkang University said frankly that the mainland has many friends in the third world or in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Even if the G7 agrees, but based on the votes, Taiwan will not be affected by the G7's statement. Let the number of votes reversed sharply, "Therefore, we should maintain a cautious attitude towards participating in WHA, and we should not be too optimistic."

　　"The annual WHA heating conference can be stopped." A comment published in the China Times on the 9th stated that in the past, the Taiwanese authorities and netizens had made many strong criticisms of the legitimacy of the WHO and its Director-General Tan Desai. Coupled with the mainland factor, the WHO will certainly not open its doors to welcome Taiwan's entry.

As for the so-called "Taiwan can help" slogan, it now sounds like an over-commitment. What kind of substantive help does Taiwan provide to severely affected areas?

In addition to donating a small amount of materials, the main force of "help" is to promote Taiwan's own successful epidemic prevention.

However, Taiwan’s epidemic prevention methods are not necessarily applicable to other regions. For example, Taiwan has adopted border control at the beginning, but this policy is too late for regions where the epidemic has spread.

Especially now other regions are eager to vaccinate against the epidemic, and Taiwan cannot help with the supply of vaccines. "So far, Taiwan has only received a small amount of vaccines."

The article bluntly stated that despite the G7 endorsing Taiwan for the first time, based on the records of the past few years, it is unlikely that Taiwan will get WHA tickets.

In the initial stage of the outbreak last year, although the Trump administration of the United States and the governments of other small countries strongly supported Taiwan's membership, "the mainland still kept Taiwan firmly out of the door of the World Health Assembly."
