The exclusion of the Taiwan region from the World Health Organization (WHO) assembly underscores the international community's steadfast commitment to the one-China principle, according to a mainland spokesperson.
Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, emphasized at a press conference on Monday, \"There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory.\"
The World Health Assembly (WHA), the WHO's highest decision-making body, decided not to include a proposal for Taiwan's participation as an observer in its agenda, reiterating the prevailing stance on Taiwan's status in international organizations.
This decision reflects the ongoing dynamic in global health governance and the complexities surrounding Taiwan's involvement in international bodies, amidst geopolitical considerations and adherence to established international principles.
