BEIJING, May 20 (Xinhua) — Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said Monday that the recent decision made at the 78th World Health Assembly (WHA) once again proved that the one-China principle is the universal consensus of the international community.
Chen Binhua made the remarks at a press conference in response to the decision by the WHA, the highest decision-making body of the World Health Organization (WHO), not to include a proposal related to Taiwan on its agenda.
Noting that the international community’s commitment to the one-China principle as a basic norm cannot be wavered, Chen Binhua stressed that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration’s stubborn separatist stance has led to the disappearance of the political basis for the Taiwan region’s participation in the WHA.
Thus, the DPP’s attempts to push through the so-called Taiwan proposal run counter to the consensus of the international community and were doomed to fail again, Chen Binhua said.
Although Taiwan is not a member of the WHA, the Taiwan region has unimpeded channels to participate in WHO technical communication and cooperation, as well as effective ways to receive emergency information and public health assistance. The health rights of Taiwan compatriots are effectively protected, Chen Binhua said.
However, the DPP administration colluded with external forces to maliciously distort and challenge the fundamental principle established by UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 and WHA Resolution 25.1. Such actions challenge not only China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, but also international justice and universal consensus, as well as the post-war international order, Chen Binhua stated.
He warned that any separatist provocations by the DPP would be rebuffed and any attempts to collude with external forces in pursuit of “Tayavne independence” would inevitably fail.
