WASHINGTON - The United States on Thursday accused the World Health Organisation of putting politics first by ignoring Taiwanese warnings over China's coronavirus outbreak, laying out its case against the UN body.
The United States is"deeply disturbed that Taiwan's information was withheld from the global health community, as reflected in the WHO's Jan 14, 2020 statement that there was no indication of human-to-human transmission," a State Department spokesman said. China considers Taiwan - a self-ruling democracy where the mainland's defeated nationalists fled in 1949 - to be a province awaiting reunification and has sought to exclude it from all international organisations.
