Canadian MPs Pass Motion to Support Taiwan's Inclusion in WHO

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : Taiwan has been excluded from the WHO due to China's objections on the grounds that it is a "breakaway province" -- despite the fact that Taiwan is a de facto independent country, with its own military, democratically elected government, and constitution -- and the fact that it is not a member state at the United Nations, having been expelled and replaced by China in 1971.
40% : In a joint statement published with Health Minister Chen Shih-chung in May 2020, Foreign Minister Joseph Wu accused the WHO of "indifference to the health rights of Taiwan's 23.5 million people.""As a professional international health body, the World Health Organization should serve the health and welfare of all humanity and not capitulate to the political interests of a certain member," Chen said in the statement.
