BEIJING/TAIPEI - China has accused Taiwan of"venomously" attacking the World Health Organisation and conniving with Internet users to spread racist comments, after the agency's chief said racist slurs against him had come from the island.
Taiwan's exclusion from the WHO, due to China's objections, has infuriated the Taipei government during the coronavirus outbreak. In a statement late on Thursday , China's Taiwan Affairs Office took aim at the"Democratic Progressive Party authorities", referring to Taiwan's ruling party and the usual wording Beijing uses for the island's democratically elected government.
Green is the DPP's party colour. China believes the DPP is seeking Taiwan's formal independence, but President Tsai Ing-wen says they are already an independent country called the Republic of China, its official name.
