China says Taiwan attacks on WHO are ‘venomous’, aimed at independence | Malay Mail

Taiwan, claimed by China as its sacred territory, has responded angrily to WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus’s assertion that “racist slurs” against him had originated in Taiwan, and demanded he apologise saying the accusations are nonsense. In a statement late on Thursday, China’s Taiwan Affairs Office took aim at the “Democratic Progressive Party authorities”, referring to Taiwan’s ruling party and the usual wording Beijing uses for the island’s democratically elected government.

However, Taiwan’s Justice Ministry said on Friday that Twitter posts purported to be from Taiwanese people apologising to Tedros for being racist about him, were actually posted by people in China.

It is because China refuses to accept and allow anyone to interact with Taiwan without threating them with all manner of sanctions.Taiwan wanted to interact with the WHO as it its right but the WHO refuses to accept its existence.
