WASHINGTON - The leaders of U.S. congressional foreign affairs committees wrote to nearly 60 countries on Friday asking them to support Taiwan’s participation in the World Health Organization, citing the need for the broadest effort possible to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

“As the world works to combat the spread of the COVID-19, a novel coronavirus first identified in Wuhan, China, it has never been more important to ensure all countries prioritize global health and safety over politics,” the lawmakers said in their letter, sent on Friday and first reported by Reuters.

It was sent as President Donald Trump and other U.S. officials have ramped up criticism of China over the spread of the coronavirus, which causes the respiratory illness COVID-19. The Trump administration has accused China of making the pandemic worse by hiding information. Taiwan has been seeking to join a ministerial meeting this month of the WHO’s decision-making body, the World Health Assembly , with backing from Washington and several U.S. allies.

Taiwan is a true model for the world, in more ways than one. The world needs to do all it can to involve this nation so that we can benefit from it. Shame on the WHO for parroting the CCP’s line!

All countries, including all of the EU, have been bullied by the vicious Chinese dictatorship into withdrawing recognition of the fully fledged democracy of Taiwan. Appeasement never works and eventually leads to conflict.

NO, No Taiwan at WHO.

US should start organising an organisation with Taiwan and countries which are suffering becoz of the fking lair CCP. Of coz, no China ChinaMustExplain ChineseVirus ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied CCP_is_terrorist

Bastard , what is your concern? Not understand? Why , you guys always comments?

Taiwan is China 🇨🇳

By the way, did USA paid the pass due yet?

Let's ask yourself, do you want to work with someone who is bullying his neighbors, cheating on his partners, stealing from everyone, spreading virus but denied wrongdoing, threatening to beat someone up when not pleased ? I bet your Mom will say, stay away from him.

US should pay up WHO first before making new trouble

John Cleese is amazing

The best thing for Taiwan is to have a US that is respected around the world. And that can only happen with Trump out of office.

That would be a very interesting & telling vote. Which American lawmakers would vote for China and which vote for Taiwan. 🤔
