The new crown epidemic that swept the world and let Taiwan, which has been crowded in the world for many years, saw a rare opportunity. Not only did the world ’s countries have a good impression of Taiwan’ s epidemic prevention relatively successful, but European and American officials also publicly spoke publicly. FiveAt the beginning of the month, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also stated that it is called on the world Health Assembly (WHA for short) to support Taiwan to support Taiwan as an observer to participate in the World Health Organization (WHO) as observer.The situation seems to be good.

Unfortunately, international politics is cruel.The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan, Wu Zhaozheng, also splashed a cold water under the inquiry of the Kuomintang legislature, saying that the United States did not intend to help Taiwan in the WHO proposal.The World Health Conference (WHA), which is about to be held online (May 18th), is probably after a few Taiwan diplomatic relations to help their voice. The proposal to allow Taiwan to participate in the WHO will be quickly rejected by the conference.

Who can let Taiwan participate in the World Health Organization?

Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, Taiwan's official and international people who support Taiwan have continued to fight each other with the WHO. The Twitter account of the Taiwan Foreign Ministry also criticized WHO by many tweets.China's pressure excludes Taiwan's participation and repeatedly named the Secretary -General of Shiwei Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus as a Chinese agent.WHO responded that it was an United Nations Affiliated Organization, with no rights nor a legitimacy to flip the United Nations' decision to geopolitics.

But who can decide Taiwan to participate in WHO?

At the beginning of the Articles of Association of the WHO's Law, its highest purpose is to make people from all over the world get high -level health as much as possible.Exclude the health of 23.5 million people in Taiwan to its operation.

However, after all, the charter is ideal.WHO, as an United Nations Affiliated Organization, is Stakeholders, the United Nations is 194 member states of the United Nations.The United Nations General Assembly and the annual World Health Conference adopt a majority of decisive procedures in the system. The reason why China has so powerful in the United Nations has so strongly influencing its dominance ability because China has affected most of them and even the vast majority of member states.

Compared with this cruel reality support, the UN General Assembly is staged in September each year.Taiwan is not a member of the United Nations, and there are only more than a dozen diplomatic relations that can be pleaded. Every year, Taiwan Friendship made a request to consider the motion for Taiwan to join the United Nations in the conference agenda, but it was soon blocked by the conference's procedure.

What is even more ironic is that even if the Taiwan media reproduced extensively every Western country's verbally expressed remarks that support Taiwan's participation in international organizations, shaping the feeling of the world's feelings, European and American officials are unwilling to actively take the initiative to replace the UN General Assembly or WHO organizations.Taiwan proposed a motion, regardless of their huge influence in the United Nations, or unwilling to help Taiwan pay a little diplomatic costs.

Is it an opportunity or a trap to become an observer?

Another question that is often ignored is whether the observer of the World Health Organization has any value to Taiwan.

In the international real environment, the United Nations has never been a world government, and WHO is not attempted to replace sovereign countries to formulate health policies and coordinate the world's Ministry of Health. At best, it is just a platform for exchange of health information.If participating in the WHO can become a member country that is equal to other countries, it is a good opportunity to highlight Taiwan's international status, and it is also the real value of Taiwan's fighting for the WTO.However, the current verbal platform of European and American officials, and the current official Taiwan officials obviously only stay at the level of fighting as an observer.

From 2009 to 2016, Ma Ying -jeou's administration, Taiwan was invited to participate in the World Health Conference as an observer with the personal VIP method of the WHO.Taiwan has room for participation in WHO.The Tsai Ing -wen government also often cited the example of Taiwan as an observer during the international period of the Malaysian government. It criticized WHO no longer invited Taiwan, just to conform to the pressure of the Chinese government and punish the DPP that was identified by Taiwan independence.

However, the scholar Song Chengen pointed out that the observer's goal of becoming a WHO member country is not helpful and harmful, but this model rely entirely on the invitation of Secretary -General of the World Health.In other words, the foundation of Taiwan's invitation to participate was completely from China. It was a privilege rather than a small observer to make Taiwan a small observer.

Chiang Kai -shek, who can't get rid of it with its representative

In the identification of WHD and even the United Nations, the reason to exclude Taiwan is very simple, that is, the resolution of No. 2758 in 1971. At that time, the Kuomintang Chiang Kai -shek regime that ruled Taiwan insisted that only the Republic of China can represent the whole China.At that time, the United Nations also supported Taiwan's allies diplomats. I tried to persuade the Kuomintang government to continue to keep the United Nations member states in the name of Taiwan, but was not accepted by Chiang Kai -shek on the grounds that the Han thieves did not stand.Outside the door so far.

Half a century later, Taiwan is still as far as that of the United Nations and WST Affiliated Organizations. Investigation is hesitant to be hesitant to change the changes that should be made into international organizations due to China's strong pressure factors.

After several months of the international diplomatic scolding war with the World Health Organization, the results have been released recently. There is no unexpected place. There are only 13 countries inviting Taiwan to the WHO.In other words, in addition to Taiwan's existing 13 diplomatic relations (excluding the Vatican), European and American countries who have verbally talked about Taiwan in the past few months, none of them are willing to formally ask WHO to invite Taiwan.

If it is really criticized by Taiwan, the WHO is just a puppet under international organizations, then continuing to attack this queen internationally can meet the popularity of Taiwan and highlight Taiwan's voice at the same time.Whether the war can really achieve the goal of entering the WHO and whether it is helpful for Taiwan's breakthrough in international organizations?

If Taiwan hopes to obtain international organizations that can represent the consensus on behalf of the international community, this diplomatic battle between the Taiwan government this year with the WHO can be said to be unsuccessful.Just as Chiang Kai -shek led the Republic of China by the United Nations as a thief, the Republic of China was expelled as a thief. Although the Republic of China half a century later, the Republic of China has more democratic blessings, if it is still misjudgment of the current reality, international organization operation, and the choice of choices and strives for their own strength scope.In Taiwan's strategy, Taiwan may continue to miss the WHO.
