GENEVA - The Chinese envoy to the World Health Organisation on Tuesday denounced the support shown by the United States and others to Taiwan during its annual ministerial assembly and said that was undermining the global response to the pandemic.
"There are still a few countries determined to plead for Taiwan authorities, seriously violating relevant U.N. and WHO resolutions and undermining global anti-epidemic efforts," Mr Chen Xu, the Chinese ambassador, told the virtual assembly.Taiwan is locked out of UN organisations such as the WHO due to the objections of China, which considers it a breakaway province with no right to the trappings of a sovereign state.
Several delegates protested at Taiwan's exclusion in their speeches, including senior US diplomat Howard Solomon in closing remarks as well as Haiti and Paraguay.
