In recent years, Taiwan’s participation in the World Health Assembly (WHA) has frequently hit a wall. Chen Shizhong, a candidate for the Taipei mayoral election of the Democratic Progressive Party, recently said that he would enter when his knees are weak, and he emphasized that “don’t enter the WHA on your knees.” Chiang Wan-an, a candidate for the Taipei mayoral election of the Kuomintang, said on the 21st that the DPP also used the identity of Chinese Taipei to participate in the WHA when it was in power. ?”
When Chen Shizhong attended the General Assembly of the Taiwan United Nations Association the day before yesterday, he said that although Taiwan has encountered great difficulties in the WHA, do not enter the WHA on your knees. He believes that Taiwan must be a country that contributes to the international community. Only enter the field until the official invitation card.
Jiang Wanan criticized yesterday that the DPP also used “Chinese Taipei” to participate in the WHA when it was in power. At the beginning, President Tsai said that Chinese Taipei was not dwarfed, but now Chen Shizhong said that he could not enter on his knees. What is the standard?
He said, does Chen Shizhong think that President Tsai entered the WHA on his knees? The diplomatic situation of the Republic of China is difficult, it must be very pragmatic, and it must participate in substantial and beneficial international activities and international organizations. The front-line personnel engaged in diplomatic work are very hard, and these personnel who work for diplomacy should not be stigmatized.
Kuomintang Taipei City Councilor Wang Hongwei also criticized it. Chen Shizhong knew the importance of entering the WHA when he was Minister of Health and Welfare. She pointed out that if using Chinese Taipei to enter the WHA is “kneeling”, then the mainland has recently strictly required Taiwanese manufacturers to mark the origin of imports to “Taiwan, China” in order to clear customs, and the Ministry of Economic Affairs has not objected.
Wang Hongwei said that Chen Shizhong’s statement has no international outlook at all. When he was Minister of Weifu, why didn’t he express his position or join the WHA, and now he said whether he was dizzy after the election.
