The World Health Organization is to raise the question of Taiwan's participation as an observer at the World Health Assembly which opens virtually on Monday, before one of its committees.

Representatives of the United Nation's 194 member states will gather for the 73rd World Health Assembly devoted almost entirely to strengthen global co-ordination against the COVID-19 pandemic.

WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has weathered much of the criticism and has been accused by US President Donald Trump of being biased towards Chinese information in the first weeks of the outbreak at the beginning of the year.Dr Tedros famously said that China had set"a new standard for outbreak control" and that the country's actions had"bought the world time".

The European Union, another region that has been seriously battered by the coronavirus outbreak, is calling on countries to jointly develop a review of the pandemic's management.The EU, Russia, Japan, Mexico and Australia, among others, will request for a"gradual process of impartial, independent and exhaustive evaluation" to start as soon as possible.

Ever since pro-independence President Tsao Ing-wen was sworn into office in 2016, China has vetoed Taiwan's inclusion at UN bodies.

Regrets 'distractions' that made me chuckle. It's the most weasel apology ever! Oh ffs. Faux outrage cooked up by News Corp. Like they give a damn about indigenous Aussies. If by distraction she means completely rewriting history and portraying the settlement of Australia as a racist invasion, sure. I don’t believe her at all.
