Taiwan Foreign Minister Joseph Wu says claim by Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is baseless and without merit. Taiwan is a “mature, highly sophisticated nation and could never instigate personal attacks on the director-general of the WHO, much less express racist sentiments,” it said. “This attack came from Taiwan,” said Tedros, who is a former Ethiopian health and foreign minister and the WHO’s first African leader. Yet without evidence, #Taiwan is accused of orchestrating personal attacks. Tedros had not appeared to have accused the Taiwanese government of being directly behind the attacks, but merely of condoning them.-AP
