Tandesse became the first Director-General of African nationality in the World Health Organization in 2017
The World Health Organization (WHO), which is a common country and is in charge of world public health, has been criticized by the President of the United States for Trump lack of preparedness Trump WHO, which has vigorously refuted it.
On Wednesday (April 8) U.S. time, Trump criticized WHO for favouritism towards China at a regular New Crown journalist meeting at the White House, calling it "China-centric "(China Centric). Trump said he was considering stopping funding for the organization after the outbreak began with a misjudgement by the who, sending false messages that led to the spread of new crown pneumonia worldwide.
Director-General Tan Desai (Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus) responded to criticism on the same day, saying that people should not politicize the epidemic or use the new crown virus to win political scores.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs speaker, Zhao Lijian, said at the journalist meeting on the same day that "if the US side suspends its contribution to WHO, it will have a negative impact on international anti-epidemic cooperation. "Zhao Lijian also affirmed that Tam Desai`s epidemic prevention work has been internationally recognized.
Surprisingly, at a regular journalist meeting of the world health organization on april 8th, mr. tandesse suddenly singled out criticism TW, accidentally lit another battlefield. He criticized TW for continuing to smear him personally for nearly three months, especially racial discrimination against his black identity, and was TW Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed and involved.
Tan`s comments caused a TW uproar, TW President Tsai Ing-wen issued a rebuttal to Tan Desai, while TW Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked Tan Desai to apologize for his accusation.
Trump said what?
On Wednesday`s White House journalist meeting, Trump President opened his mouth to comment on WHO`s "false" judgment of the epidemic, triggering a global disaster. He said that WHO must "address its priorities correctly" rather than focus on China. "Everyone must be given appropriate treatment, but this does not seem to be the case. "
Trump reiterated his view that the WHO international organization favours China. "WHO screwed up "(The WHO blew it), as Trump criticized WHO. "Fortunately, I rejected their earlier suggestion that countries should continue to open their borders to China ," he said, immediately affirming his judgment. "Why would they give us such a wrong suggestion? "Trump asked.
The United States Secretary of State Pompeo (Mike Pompeo) responded on the same day that the United States was "reassessing our funding for the World Health Organization ", which must do its job. Their work should achieve the desired goals. "said Pompeo.
This is the highest-pitched criticism of who in the u.s. since the outbreak of pneumonia.
According to WHO, the United States is the largest sponsor of WHO funding, accounting for 15 per cent of the organization`s total budget. But others said the move was Trump to divert attention from his handling of the U. S. epidemic, as the community is actively examining his epidemic prevention efforts.
But Trump`s criticism of WHO has won Republican support. The French Broadcasting Corporation reported that the Republican congressman, Guy Reschenthaler, had earlier proposed a resolution calling on the United States parliament to freeze the WHO donor budget until Mr. Tandesse resigned and the International Commission opened an investigation into the WHO`s lack of surveillance in China.
TAM Desai Response
As a response to the criticism from the United States, Mr. Thameser said at the World Health Organization`s regular journalist on Wednesday :" First, countries should unite together and never politicize the virus ";" Third, global cooperation should unite. The United States and China should lead with frankness. "He seems to be responding Trump. Tandesser added :" The most powerful leaders should lead the way and isolate politics from epidemic prevention. "
Tandesser stressed that countries should focus on saving lives, and he described being defeated by the virus if there were cracks in the epidemic at the national and global levels. But he also tried to soften the "financial threat "," from the United States, saying he believes U.S. financial aid will continue. "It is time for the international community to unite to stop the devastating consequences of the virus ", he said.
Guterres (Antonio Guterres), the Secretary-General of the common country, defended WHO. He said the coronavirus outbreak was "unprecedented" and that any doubts about how it was handled should be left to the future.
French President Emmanuel Macron Macron also called Tandesse on Wednesday to express support for the World Health Organization. "Macron reaffirmed his support for and trust in the agency and refused to see WHO in a war between China and the United States ," an official at the French presidential palace told Reuters. "
China affirms Tam Desai
"The WHO, led by Director-General TAM Desai, has played an important role in promoting international cooperation against journalist epidemic, and has been widely recognized and highly praised by the international community ," journalist quoted by China`s President, Mr. Zhao Lijian, as responding to journalist questions on Wednesday. "
He added that "the statement issued by the recently concluded summit of G-20 leaders in particular stressed full support and commitment to further strengthen the role of the World Health Organization in coordinating international action against the epidemic. China will, as always, firmly support the work of the World Health Organization, which will continue to play a leading role in global anti-epidemic cooperation. "
TW rebuttal of allegations of "racial discrimination"
Most media at the WHO journalist meeting on Wednesday focused on WHO responses to Trump criticism. The surprise, however, was that Tandesser suddenly named and criticized TW, referring to TW government racist attacks against him in the last three months (racist slurs):" If you want me to be more clear, three months ago, these attacks came from TW, us to be honest, I said directly today, from the TW .".
"TW Ministry of Foreign Affairs know this activity ," he added TW government name ," but instead of separating them, they began to criticize me with insults and slander, and I didn`t care, three months! I`ll call the roll today, because it`s really enough! "
Responding to accusation ,TW president tsai ingwen on thursday (april 9) in a facebook posting protest. she said TW government was willing to share epidemic prevention experiences with countries around the world and mentioned that many medical workers assisted in epidemic prevention in TW home country of tandesse. TW Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked Tandesse to apologize for his accusation. Tsai Ing-wen also invited Tan Desai to Taiwan to share TW experience.
"With regard to today`s TW was acciused of racist attacks on the international community, I would like to express a strong protest .TW we have always opposed any form of discrimination, and that we have been excluded from international organizations for years than anyone knows what it feels like to be discriminated against and isolated. "said Tsai.
TW and who love and hate
Actually, this is not the first friction between TW and who. But this is the WHO Director-General TW. publicly named criticism
TW international lobbying for membership in WHO has been ongoing for several years, it has been frustrated.
After Tsai Ing-wen`s election in 2016, TW even the status of WHO observer was removed by the latter on the principle of "one China ". TW wanted to participate in the "Northern Hemisphere Influenza Virus vaccine Strain Selection Conference ", held by WHO in Beijing in February 2019, but received an invitation from WHO late in the night before the meeting, TW representatives had no time to attend the meeting and were absent from the WHO vaccine Strain Selection Conference for the first time since 2014. TW criticized who for blocking TW participation, who responded, sending invitations to TW through beijing.
Since this year`s new crown outbreak, the relationship between TW and WHO has become increasingly tense.
On 28 March, when the Assistant Director-General of WHO, Alward (Bruce Aylward), was interviewed by Radio Hong Kong and asked whether the WHO was reconsidering the TW of admission, he paused for a few seconds and said "no questions" and refused to answer. Controversy arose from the video, which was widely reported in international media as "the topic TW who officials pretending to be deaf and avoiding talking ". Under pressure, WHO responded to the TW during the outbreak for the first time on 29 March, saying TW eligibility for WHO was determined by WHO Member States and not by the organization`s staff. However, it stressed its willingness to work with the world`s health sectors ," including TW medical experts ", but did not respond to the widely criticized performance in interviews with its officials.
Daily capacity of TW masks exceeds 10 million
TW need to join the WHO was based on medical human rights considerations, Mr. Lin said in Chinese before promoting TW to join the WHO for many years. She explained that the SARS virus (SARS) had raged in 2003, but because TW had been excluded from the WHO circulate a notice system, the latest circulate a notice. of the epidemic had been the United States government Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which had caused many people to die during the "Sas" period, too late. Mr lin criticised the who`s pan-politicization of TW issues, its membership of a china-blocking TW, and the contribution TW can make to epidemic prevention.
TW former diplomat Liu Shijie believes that TW should not resist entry into WHO because of his dissatisfaction with Tham Desai. He believes that TW has no capital to defend itself from WHO, which is one of the fifteen specialized agencies of the common country and one of the six institutions of the common country, the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), so "if we despise the logic of liberalism or communitarianism behind this international organization because of dissatisfaction WHO,, what about other international organizations? Are TW not joined by comparison? "
Mr tan`s controversy over whether Trump accusation who is "the center of china" in the epidemic has opened the TW battlefield unexpectedly, and TW is donating tens of millions of medical masks around the world for mask diplomacy. Following the TW fires, the future epidemic performance against WHO seems to add more complexity.
