Steven Solomon, the WHO's top legal official, was quoted as saying on Monday that "divergent views" among United Nations member states had stopped the organization from extending an invitation to Taiwan to attend its annual confab.

"To put it crisply, director-generals only extend invitations when it's clear that member states support doing so, that director-generals have a mandate, a basis to do so," Solomon said.

Director-General..... let’s drop the pretense and go for King, Prince, Duke....
I’m liking Taiwan more and more
Taipei Times: Zero local COVID-19 cases for 28th day
[The country that mastered the pandemic first and best, is not invited.]
No new COVID-19 cases were reported yesterday, marking the 28th day with no domestic cases reported in the nation, Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung said yesterday.
Today is also Mothers Day, so we would like to present our record of no domestic cases having been reported in 28 consecutive days as a gift for all mothers, hoping that everyone can feel safer, said Chen, who heads the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC).
However, people should not let their guard down and should thoroughly practice the new disease prevention lifestyle to achieve an even higher level of safety, he said.
The WHO seems to have completely sold out to China.
Disgusting, really.
I don’t know if Taiwan was best...
Vietnam is opening up again, and has had ZERO deaths so far.
None.
Perhaps, but Taiwan has had zero *cases* for pretty much a month.
Sorry, but I don’t trust the figures coming out of any Communist country.
How did our Roosevelt crew get infected on a port visit in Danang Vietnam, if it’s so under control there?
I don’t buy it. North Korea also claims to have no deaths.
See 8.
Taiwan isn’t communist. :P
It is rumored that North Korea has no deaths because they simply execute anyone infected. They died due to a bullet, not because of COVID-19. :P
That’s how they got that weird “we have a case/a few cases” that went to zero overnight number scenario.
I was replying about the claim that Vietnam has had no deaths, and is a better model than Taiwan.
Up thread at about 6.
I don’t believe that happened from Vietnamese.
I really don’t. The country has had one of the very lowest infection rates, in the entire world.
True.
Yeah, if you trust COMMUNISTS to tell the truth.
China, North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba: They lie, always.
President Trump should resume full diplomatic relations with Taiwan.
Let China howl.

See 15.

Yes, and I said that that may or may not be, but he was only quoting deaths when Taiwan didn’t even have any *cases*.
I agree. Full relations, and screw the lying plague-spreading ChiNazis.
Yep. And yank MFN from Communist China while hes at it.
