WHA rejects Taiwan-related proposal again

A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Monday that China’s position on Taiwan-related issues at the WHA is widely understood and supported by the international community.

Over 100 countries explicitly expressed support for China’s position by writing to the WHO Director-General and through other means.

This fully demonstrates that the one-China principle is where global opinion trends and the arc of history bends, and must not be challenged.

Once again we would like to make it clear to the DPP authorities that the abiding commitment of the international community to the one-China principle is unshakable and the trend that China will be reunified is not to be reversed, the spokesperson said.
