Taiwan condemns 'groundless' accusations it attacked WHO chief COVID19
TAIPEI - Taiwan's Foreign Ministry on Thursday condemned "groundless" accusations from the head of the World Health Organization that racist slurs against him had come from the island, as Taipei escalated its feud with the body.
On Wednesday, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus rejected "racist slurs" against him, which he said had originated in Taiwan. "We are a mature and highly-accomplished advanced democratic country, and have absolutely not instigated our people to personally attack the WHO's Director-General, and have absolutely not made any racist comments," it said.
The WHO, in a rare statement about Taiwan last month, said it was closely following the development of the coronavirus there, is learning lessons from how they are fighting it, and detailing how the WHO has been working with Taiwanese health experts.
