TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Despite Taiwan's exclusion from the 2020 World Health Assembly (WHA), international leaders have spoken up for the island nation and bashed China for asserting a negative political influence on global affairs, including U.S. State Department Spokesperson Morgan Ortagus, who showed her support by posting a Taiwanese flag on Twitter.

Following the opening of the WHA's 73rd session on Monday (May 18), Ortagus took to Twitter to criticize the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) discrimination against Taiwan. She said its "spiteful" attempts to silence Taiwan have "exposed the emptiness" of its promises to be transparent and cooperative during the pandemic and that its actions have only accentuated the difference between Taiwan and China.    [FULL  STORY]
