Taiwan rejects ‘baseless’ allegation it subject WHO chief to campaign of abuse and racism Taiwan has back what it described as “baseless” accusations made by Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health , in which he claimed to have been subject to racial abuse from officials in the East Asian state. The Taiwanese foreign ministry has demanded an apology from Dr Tedros, who said he has received death threats and been called a “negro” since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. “Without having checked the facts, Tedros’s unprovoked and untrue accusations not only differ from reality, they have also seriously harmed our government and our people,” the ministry said in a statement on Thursday. “This kind of slander is extremely irresponsible.” President Tsai Ing-wen expressed “strong protest” against the allegation that Taiwan was behind the campaign of abuse, and invited him to visit the island. “Taiwan always objects discrimination in any form,” she said. In reference to Taipei’s exclusion from the United Nations and the WHO, due to pressure from China which claims the island as its own, President Tsai added: “We know how it feels to be discriminated against and isolated more than anyone else as we have been excluded from global organizations for years.” Dr Tedros first made the allegation during a media briefing on Wednesday, having been asked to criticism from Donald Trump and other world leaders over the WHO’s approach to the pandemic. He revealed that he had been subject to “personal attacks that have been going on for more than two, months.” “Abuses, or racist comments, giving me names, black or Negro. I’m proud of being black, proud of being Negro,” he added. “I don’t care, be honest ... even death threats. I don’t give a damn.” Dr Tedros, who is a former Ethiopian health and foreign minister, claimed that “this attack came from Taiwan” 3 months ago. “We need be honest. I will be straight today. From Taiwan,” he said. “And Taiwan, the Foreign Ministry also, they know the campaign. They didn’t disassociate themselves. They even started criticizing in the middle of that insult and slur, but I didn’t care.” ====================================================================== Taiwan’s foreign ministry, which has criticised the WHO’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, called for an “immediate” apology. “Our country has never encouraged the public launch personal attacks against him or made any racially discriminatory comments,” a spokeswoman said. “Our government demands an immediate clarification and an apology from director-general Tedros.” Any online attacks against Dr Tedros are not linked to the state’s foreign ministry nor instigated by it, the office added. Relations between the WHO and Taiwan have worsened since the pandemic began, even as health experts have lauded Taiwan for its response to the virus. It has reported just 379 cases and five deaths, despite its close proximity and trade links with China, where the pandemic began. Taiwan claims that information it provided to the WHO on cases and prevention methods has not been passed onto member states. While Taiwan’s government was a founding member of the UN, China took its seat in the body – and all subordinate organisations such as the WHO – in 1971. Amid criticism it is overlooking the East Asian island, WHO released a statement last week saying that it was taking into the state’s contributions in the fight against coronavirus. “The question of Taiwanese membership in WHO is WHO Member States, not WHO staff,” it said. China’s Communist Party regards Taiwan as a breakaway province and has vowed one seize the island – by force if necessary. Beijing’s efforts isolate the island have ramped since the election of President Tsai Ing-wen, who rejects the “One China” policy. ====================================================================== RTHK’s Yvonne Tong asked WHO advisor Bruce Aylward whether the organisation would reconsider Taiwan’s membership, long objected to by Beijing. Aylward appeared not to hear Tong, and then either hung her or was disconnected. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus Bruce Aylward   Honesty is the best policy. |

The way W.H.O. treated Taiwan people has made me very furious. Dr. Tedros has made up the story that Taiwanese accused him with racial discrimination and slur out of nowhere. Taiwan is not even a member of W.H.O. and consistently been denied and silenced by W.H.O. Taiwanese are very kind and helping people. For so many years we are under China's threaten and isolation. I don't understand why CCP has to treat Taiwanese this way but they want to unify Taiwan. Look how CCP treated their own citizens for 70 and half years. You would know how CCP will treat Taiwanese. Taiwan has warned W.H.O. there was a virus could be dangerously spreading like SARS on Dec 31, last year, but W.H.O. ignored the warning. Taiwan has warned W.H.O. the virus could spread through human to human transmission. And yet W.H.O. ignored again. This coronavirus could be controlled and stopped, if W.H.O. took Taiwan's warning into consideration. Unfortunately they don't and let the coronavirus pandemic spread to the world. There are more than 1.5 million confirmed cases and more than 500 thousand people died. This death toll has exceeded War World I and II in combined. Dr. Tedros even encouraged African countries to against Taiwan and without evidence that Taiwan abused him in racism slur. No, no Taiwanese would said so, we are educated and have been suffered from under the China's pressure for 40 years. That is the reason that my mom applied me to come to USA 40 and half years ago. I don't know why Dr. Tedros has been followed China's order to say whatever China wants him to say. Italy, Czech Republic, UK, and many European countries have wakened up and realized they have been fooled by China's "One Belt, On Road" lie. China said they donated masks, gloves, test kits to many European countries and turned out those PPE products qualities are very lousy to only 20 or 30 % correct. There is a video shows a Chinese workers wiped his shoes with masks on the floor. That guy even video typed with a smile on his face. I can't understand why people are so ignorant. Honesty is the best policy.
