The World Health Assembly rejected Taiwan-related proposals for the fifth consecutive year. US and Taiwan politicians still did not give up, but they were educated by netizens.

  [Global Network Reporter Zhu Mengying] After Taiwan had closed doors at the World Health Assembly for the fifth consecutive year, some politicians in the United States and Taiwan still seemed unwilling to give up, trying to challenge the consensus of the international community.

  On the 24th local time, the World Health Assembly opened in Geneva, Switzerland.

On the same day, the General Committee and the plenary of the World Health Assembly respectively passed a decision to reject the proposal of individual countries to "invite Taiwan to participate in the World Health Assembly as an observer" on the agenda of the meeting.

So far, the WHO has rejected Taiwan-related proposals for the fifth consecutive year.

  Subsequently, the former U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations and the current Governor of South Carolina Nikki Haley tweeted, claiming that Taiwan was the first region to have issued an alert on the new crown epidemic as early as December 2019.

She also claimed that mainland China and the World Health Organization are preventing Taiwan from participating in the World Health Assembly, which shows that "China does not care about solving the crisis, it only cares about control."

  After singing and making peace, Xiao Meiqin, the station's "representative in the United States", quickly tweeted to express "thank you".

  Xiao Meiqin commented on Hailey’s tweet claiming that the WHO “unjustly and unreasonably” excluded Taiwan and “thanks” her for reminding people of this matter.

  U.S. and Taiwan politicians performed in the air, sparking heated discussions among netizens.

Some people applauded Haley, and some netizens scorned her unceremoniously: "I don't care about solving the crisis, I only care about control." It's the Republican Party where Haley belongs.

  "I don't care about solving the crisis, I only care about control. That's your party, the Republican Party, Haley."

  "Sounds like your party, Nikki."

  Some netizens want Haley to "stop the point."

  "Nikki, stop wasting your time on these tweets. These have nothing to do with you, and no one cares about what you say. Let your fingers rest."

  Some netizens said, "Taiwan is a part of China, and Taiwan is a province of China. Let's learn things before speaking." ↓

  In addition, in response to the decision of the World Health Assembly, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the evening of the 24th, saying that this fully shows that the one-China principle is the aspiration and general trend of the international community, and no challenge is allowed.

We once again advise the DPP authorities that there is absolutely no way out for "using the epidemic to seek independence".

China also urges individual countries to stop politicizing health issues and stop interfering in China's internal affairs through the Taiwan issue, otherwise they will only shoot themselves in the foot and be doomed to fail.

  Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on the 25th that the relevant decision of the World Health Assembly once again stated that there is no way out for "Taiwan independence" and that it is unpopular to hype Taiwan-related issues at the World Health Assembly. The one-China principle is the consensus of the international community, the will of the people, and the general trend. It must be pointed out that the mainland has always attached great importance to the health and well-being of Taiwan compatriots. We not only promote cross-strait health exchanges and cooperation, but also uphold the one-China principle in international affairs and adopt a number of measures to make proper arrangements for Taiwan's participation in global health affairs. Taiwan’s channels for obtaining various epidemic prevention and control information and support are smooth and effective.
