Secrete
Memorandum China Signed with the WHO
Health should not be used as a political weapon. Taiwan’s
diplomatic isolation –due to China’s pressure– has prevented
Taiwan from receiving any direct assistance from the WHO
during the height of SARS and birdflu outbreaks in Taiwan. A
secret memorandum the WHO signed with China in 2005 limits
participation by Taiwan; if any participation at all. U.S.
current policy in supporting Taiwan’s “meaningful
participation” is rendered meaningless because of this
memorandum.
See
below the texts of the implementation guidelines of the
memorandum.
