Antony Blinken Backs Taiwan's Bid to Break China's 6-Year WHO Blockade
The United States has thrown its weight behind Taiwan's bid to take part in the World Health Organization's World Health Assembly (WHA) this month, an annual effort that has been stymied by China for the last six years.
Taiwan isn't a UN member state and therefore doesn't have regular access to its special agencies, but it has been granted non-voting observer status in the past. Between 2009 and 2016, when a party favored by Beijing returned to power in Taipei, Taiwanese health experts participated in the yearly gathering of the WHO's decision-making body without issue.
However, that privilege ended following the May 2016 inauguration of Tsai Ing-wen, a technocratic president whose election marked Taiwan's turn away from closer ties with China in favor of stronger relations with fellow democracies, and further highlighted the ideological differences between the two nations.
