United States to 'redouble' efforts to ensure Taiwan’s participation on the global stage, a senior U.S. official tells President Tsai Ing-wen, amid Chinese efforts to prevent the island from having any international footprint
TAIPEI - The United States will “redouble” its efforts to ensure Taiwan’s participation on the global stage, a senior U.S. official told President Tsai Ing-wen on Thursday, amid Chinese efforts to prevent the island from having any international footprint.
Tsai, re-elected by a landslide in January on promises she would stand up to China, says Taiwan is an independent country called the Republic of China, its official name. Taiwan has been infuriated by China’s efforts to block its access to the WHO during the outbreak, something the United States, Japan and some European countries have urged the WHO to reconsider.
“It also underscores for the whole world to see the value that Taiwan can bring to international organizations. Countries around the world stand to benefit from Taiwan’s knowledge, experience and generosity,” Moriarty said.
