Taiwan Health Minister Chen Shih-chung holds a news conference about Taiwan's efforts to get into the World Health Organization in Taipei, Taiwan, May 15, 2020. REUTERS/Ann WangTAIPEI: Taiwan's health minister rejected on Friday China's main condition for the island to be able to take part in the World Health Organization – that it accepts it is part of China – ahead of a key meeting of the body during a pandemic.
China says Taiwan can only participate under the"one China" principle, in which it accepts it is a part of China. "I have no way to accept something which does not exist," Chen said, adding that Taiwan would not give up efforts to attend the health assembly, even though it has not received an invitation.
