From May 22 to May 28, the 75th World Health Assembly will be held in Geneva, Switzerland.
will not be opened yet, and it has been a hot topic. That is, can China's Taiwan Province attend the conference as an observer?
At present, the Taiwan authorities are very excited and hold great hope.
two reasons:
one is supported by the United States. President Biden has signed a bill to help Taiwan regain its WHO observer status.
second is WHO legal adviser Solomon 16 confirmed on the 516th that it has received a proposal from 13 member states to "inviting Taiwan to attend WHA as an observer". After discussion, the General Affairs Committee will put the recommendations on the agenda.
From the perspective of the Taiwan authorities, there is a lot of hope. With the support of the American godfather and the support of 13 member states, it is really a trend.
However, just be excited, don't dream in daydream.
Listen to what the officials who are not yet keen on the Taiwan authorities say.
Taiwan authorities' "Second Minister of Foreign Affairs" Mitsuko Tanaka said that the problem is quite complicated, and the pressure comes from the mainland is very important and the mainland is very important.
Tanaka Mitsuru explained that Simply put, Taiwan will be easy to join if it wants to give up something.
Korean Party legislator Jiang Qichen Super-requested: What should give up? Mitsuki Tanaka said, you know very well that the pressure from the other strait (mainland) is very high, and you can participate if you want to relieve this pressure.
Listen to what the spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council of China said.
He said that WHO is a specialized agency for the sovereign states to join, and Taiwan has no right to join as part of China. Regarding the issue of Taiwan's participation in the activities of the World Health Organization, our position is consistent and clear, that is, it must be handled in accordance with the one-China principle of . From 2009 to 2016, on the basis of " 1992 Consensus " that both sides of the Taiwan Strait adhere to the one-China principle, through cross-strait consultation, Taiwan participated in the World Health Assembly in the name of "Taipei" and an observer for eight consecutive years. This is a special arrangement made under the premise of adhering to the one-China principle and under the background of the peaceful development of cross-strait relations at that time.
From the statements of senior officials of the Taiwan authorities to the statements of the spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council 3, we know that whether Taiwan can attend the World Health Assembly as an observer is the key to looking at mainland China.
The United States supports it and supports it in 13 countries, but it is useless. If the Chinese government does not agree, everything will be useless.
Official Tanaka Mitsuru said that if Taiwan wants to give up something, it will be easy to join.
This statement is very obscure, but in fact it is just a sentence. As long as the Taiwan authorities give up Taiwan independence, return to the 1992 Consensus, and insist on one China, the mainland can consider Taiwan to participate in the World Health Assembly in the name of "Taipei of China".
Yes, it's very simple.
is such a simple step, but it is the most difficult step for the Taiwanese authorities.
What the DPP authorities pursue is Taiwan independence. Of course, it is impossible to recognize the 1992 Consensus, it is impossible to recognize the one-China principle, and it is impossible to slap itself in the face.
So, it is said that Taiwan issue is complex and complicated, and it is simple and simple.
is complicated because the DPP authorities insist on the independence of Taiwan and rely on the United States to resist China, making cross-strait relations very complicated.
is simple, that is, as long as the DPP returns to the 1992 Consensus and the principle of one China, all problems will be solved.
However, in the eyes of the DPP, returning to the 1992 Consensus is like going to destruction and self-denial, which is absolutely impossible. It would rather choose complexity, rather play with fire, and rather lead Taiwan to war.
A political party that insists on going to destruction is hopeless.
