The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities will only bring self-inflicted humiliation upon themselves by hyping up issues related to the World Health Assembly (WHA), Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office said on Wednesday.
The 79th WHA, the highest decision-making body of the World Health Organization (WHO), on Monday decided not to include in its agenda a so-called proposal on Taiwan's participation in the annual assembly as an observer.
This marks the 10th consecutive year that the WHA has rejected such a Taiwan-related proposal, while the DPP authorities held so-called events outside the assembly venue.
"The DPP authorities are hyping up issues related to the World Health Assembly and using the guise of health services to engage in separatist political manipulation. They are not genuinely concerned about the health and well-being of the people in Taiwan. Instead, they are merely seeking to grab attention, engage in political manipulation, and deceive the people on the island. It will only disgrace themselves. It will not change the fact that 'Taiwan separatism' leads nowhere and provocations for that end are doomed to failure," said Zhu.
