Whatever happens in the US elections, what is happening now is going to linger on, simply because what we’re going through now is such a traumatic experience … It is going to remain very much in our individual and collective memories.”

During the Ebola outbreak that began in 2014, the US was a highly visible leading presence on the ground in West Africa, sending emergency medics, troops and supplies. In sharp contrast, this week’s $2tn stimulus bill contained scarcely more than$1bn (about 0.06%) for spending outside the US.

The state department pointed out that the US was separately spending $274m in emergency health and humanitarian assistance to help countries in need, on top of the funding to international organisations like the WHO.

US awol from world stage as China tries on global leadership for size

Mike Pompeo labelling the virus ‘Chinese’ has added to lack of international cooperation

And that absence was illustrated just as vividly by news coverage of planes full of medical supplies from China arriving in Italy, at a time when the US was quietly flying inhalf a million Italian-made diagnostic swabs for use in its own under-equipped health system and Donald Trump was on the phone to the South Korean president pressing him to send test kits.

“To me what is so striking is the complete absence of the US from public debates. The US is basically off the map, and China very much is on the map,” Nathalie Tocci, the director of the Italian Institute for International Affairs and a former EU policy adviser, said.

For some US allies, the fixation on words at a time when the international order was arguably facing its greatest challenge since the second world war encapsulated the glaring absence of US leadership.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/29/us-awol-from-world-stage-as-china-tries-on-global-leadership-for-size

When Trump started his tirade against China virus,he thought he was in control.He is now an emperor without clothes,because not one rich(or poor) country supported him(barring early rumblings from China's warring neighbours-each of who got the disease under control ) .

China has taken control,and the world will not utter a word against it,or WHO because Chinese businesses are supporting it,and world needs the supplies

Big stars from all over the world are raising funds for WHO..how embarrassing!

There is a difference between WHO as an organisation and one particular person.

I get defending our favorite celebrities but let's not be so blind.

Backlash for what, talking with a criminal, seriously 😆

Tedros asked Trump to not stop funding WHO.

I think he is a clever man.

What are Trump's options of saving face?How can he deny helping countries dealing with the pandemic?

Indian right wing use the same rhetoric as Trump minions..

making racist comments/disharmony, politicising the virus etc etc.

and now their anti WHO stance.. heh

please go through the history of what Tedros did and then speak.......... no-one is against WHO......but Tedros is a lapdog of Ping and China..........After China, he is the reason the world is facing the issue right now. Had he been more stern with China, things would not have reached to this level, world wide....... there were clear reports of human to human transmissions from Taiwan in December / January but Tedros didnt listen to them cause China refuses to accept them as a sovereign country.... and since China wanted to hide the transmission for whatever reasons. Tedros not only kept praising China but also slammed Trump over his travel ban to China...... had Trump continued the ban, other countries wouldve taken more serious note and so many lives wouldve been saved...

right now talking with Tedros is giving him more mileage when he is out to cleanse his image.....

The WHO Ignores Taiwan. The World Pays the Price.

Taiwan was more prepared for the coronavirus than any other country, but the WHO puts politics first.

There is an island nation off the southeastern coast of China where public health officials saw the pandemic coming—and took action before China did. Nearly three months after reporting its first confirmed case of Covid-19, this country has only reported 348 positive diagnoses and five deaths. It was one of the earliest countries to be hit and has one of the lowest infection rates.

But you wouldn’t know any of this if you got your information from the World Health Organization. The country is Taiwan, which the WHO refuses to recognize as a sovereign state.

Despite early warnings from Taiwanese officials, the organization kept the island cut off from its global information networks. Now, it may be the rest of the world that’s paying the price.

For nearly half a century, the People’s Republic of China has effectively blocked Taiwan from joining the WHO. Despite never having exercised authority over the island, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officially considers Taiwan part of its territory, and forces international organizations—including the United Nations and its agencies like the WHO—to affirm its view.

Last weekend, the absurdity of this geopolitical paradox was laid bare in a news broadcast that quickly went viral. In a Skype interview, journalist Yvonne Tong of Hong Kong public broadcaster RTHK asked Dr. Bruce Aylward, a senior WHO official, if the global health body would reconsider Taiwan’s membership.

On Tong’s laptop screen, Aylward’s face twitched. He blinked for several seconds. Then he said he “couldn’t hear the question.” When Tong offered to repeat herself, Aylward cut in: “No, that’s OK, let’s move on to another question then.”

“I’m actually curious to talk about Taiwan as well,” said Tong. Aylward’s face disappeared—he had ended the call.

When Tong called back and repeated her question, Aylward replied, “Well, we’ve already talked about China. And when you look across all the different areas of China, they’ve actually all done quite a good job.” He thanked Tong and ended the call again.

The surreal exchange lasted all of one minute. But for Taiwanese people, it summed up a lifetime of gaslighting. During this outbreak alone, the WHO has kept changing how it refers to this country of nearly 24 million, going from “Taiwan, China,” to “Taipei” to the newer and bizarre “Taipei and its environs.” It also allowed China to report Taiwan’s coronavirus numbers as part of its own total, instead of reporting Taiwan’s numbers alone—a conflation that created headaches for the smaller nation. Some other countries enacted travel restrictions on Taiwan along with China, despite the former’s drastically lower infection rate.

When geopolitics dictate health policy, however, the most serious effects are rarely just economic. The WHO’s distortion of Taiwan’s reality has consequences that should be measured in human lives.

Soon after the RTHK video was released, a WHO spokesperson e-mailed a statement to reporters (a rare instance of using Taiwan’s preferred name): “The question of Taiwanese membership in WHO is up to WHO Member States, not WHO staff. However, WHO is working closely with all health authorities who are facing the current coronavirus pandemic, including Taiwanese health experts.” Taiwan says that cooperation has not occurred. According to the country’s officials, on December 31—the same day that Wuhan health officials announced the discovery of a viral pneumonia with “no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission”—Taiwan wrote to the WHO to request more information about the disease’s potential to pass between humans. They say that the WHO acknowledged receipt of the letter, but did not otherwise respond or share it with WHO member states.

Taiwan took action anyway. Before nightfall on December 31, the country decided to begin health inspections for all passengers arriving on flights from Wuhan. Two weeks later—amid continued reassurances from Chinese and WHO officials that there was no need for alarm—Taiwan dispatched two of its health experts to the city in Hubei province, where they found significant likelihood that the coronavirus was capable of human-to-human transmission. This virus, they reported on January 16, could be far more dangerous than initially assumed, noting that Wuhan’s local doctors were taking the disease very seriously as well.
