[Global Network Report Reporter Fu Guohao] The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) held the first Asian "African Swine Fever Expert Meeting" on the 8th, but did not invite Taiwan to attend. The Taiwan authorities have also raised a "suppression" argument on this, and Huang Jincheng, the "vice chairman of the Committee of Agriculture" of Taiwan, even said that this was a "deliberate action" of the mainland. In response to this, some netizens on the island sarcastically said that the DPP authorities "report all the blame for the mainland."

Comprehensive reports from Taiwan's "Dongsen News Network" on April 8 and other media, the first Asian "African Swine Fever Expert Meeting" was held in Beijing from the 8th to the 9th. The Taiwan "Defense and Inspection Bureau" said on the 8th that it had sent a letter to OIE on the 3rd to express its willingness to participate, but has not received any invitation letters so far. As for the reason why Taiwan did not receive the invitation letter, Huang Jincheng, the "vice chairman of the Committee of Agriculture" of Taiwan, claimed that this was a "deliberate action" by the mainland.
In addition, Golden City also mentioned the so-called "continental suppression". Taiwan's pro-green media Liberty Times reported that Golden City clamored that this matter was "like a bad neighbor next to it, and it must be a political suppression."
In response to this, some netizens on the island criticized the DPP for saying that everything is blamed on the mainland, why do the people choose you?
Taiwan authorities leader Tsai Ing-wen Since 2016, the DPP authorities have been turned away by multiple international conferences. In 2017 and 2018, Taiwan was unable to participate in the World Health Assembly (WHA) twice. Taiwan Affairs Office spokesman An Fengshan, said last year that the reason why Taiwan is still unable to participate in the World Health Assembly this year is that the DPP authorities have so far refused to recognize the "1992 Consensus " that embodies the one-China principle. The political basis for Taiwan to participate in the WHO does not exist, and the responsibility for not being able to participate lies with the DPP authorities.
An Fengshan said that there is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. Regarding the issue of Taiwan's participation in international organizations, our position is consistent and clear, that is, it must be handled in accordance with the one-China principle. WHO is a specialized agency of the United Nations. It is natural that the WHO Taiwan-related issues should be handled in accordance with the one-China principle established by UN General Assembly resolution 2758 and World Health Assembly resolution 25.1.
