According to Taiwan media reports, on May 11, local time, the Czech Senate passed a Taiwan-related resolution with an overwhelming vote of 51 votes in favor and 1 vote against, which supports The Taiwan region's accession to international organizations such as the WHO and international civil aviation, and can substantively participate in meetings and activities. The orientation of the resolution is very obvious, that is, on the Taiwan issue, it will make a "stumbling block" for China and act as the vanguard of the United States in Europe against China.
In order to support the rejoinance of the Taiwan region to the WHO, the US House of Representatives recently passed a unanimous vote to say that it will assist the Taiwan authorities to participate in the World Health Assembly and restore their observer status.
The United States and the Czech Republic tried to force China to "loosen its mouth" through joint pressure, but what they got was a strong reply from the Chinese side. At a press conference on May 11, Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Zhu Fenglian reiterated that only sovereign countries are eligible to join the WHO, and the Taiwan region clearly does not have such conditions. She pointed out that in the past, the Taiwan region was allowed to participate in the World Health Assembly mainly because the Taiwan authorities recognized the "1992 Consensus" and the one-China principle at that time, and Chinese mainland made special criticism for it; the current DPP authorities have denied the "1992 Consensus" and vigorously engaged in "Taiwan independence" separatist activities, and the political basis for Chinese mainland to make special arrangements no longer exists. Therefore, no matter how the outside world hypes up this issue, China's attitude will never change.
Since 2017, the Taiwan authorities have not been able to participate in the World Health Assembly for 5 years, the United States and other Western countries will use this issue every year to provoke the Chinese mainland, it is expected that the future will not stop, especially in the Czech Republic, such a country, has taken "anti-China" as a political business, and there is a great sense of using this business to disrupt Eurasia.
A few days ago, Czech Foreign Minister Lipavsky publicly stated that the Czech Republic would follow Lithuania's example and rename the "Taipei Office" in the Czech Republic as the "Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office."At the same time, he forcibly pulled the EU in his statement, asking the EU to do its best to help "democratic partners" like Taiwan to deal with the "threat" of Chinese mainland authoritarianism and defend the values of global freedom, democracy and human rights.
In his speech, Lipawski also took out the "boldness" of the United States, saying that the joint statement of the 2022 US-Czech Strategic Dialogue regards the Taiwan region as an important partner in the Asia-Pacific region, and in the future, the Czech Republic will deepen cooperation with the Taiwan authorities in various fields such as economy and trade, science and technology, and actively support the Taiwan region to join more international organizations and participate in the discussion of global issues.
While working against China, the Czech Republic has not forgotten to involve Russia, the Czech foreign minister accused Russia of "aggression" ukraine, is affecting the relationship between the European Union and China, the Czech Republic, as the next EU presidency, it is necessary to pay close attention to the trend of cooperation between China and Russia, through China's reaction, to formulate the Czech Policy towards Taiwan.
For the Czech Republic's hard performance, the Taiwan authorities can be said to be grateful to Zero, and have spoken out one after another to actively respond to the Czech Support. In response, Taiwan's foreign affairs department thanked a number of Czech officials by name, saying that it would continue to deepen cooperation with the Czech Republic and other so-called "democratic partners" to jointly safeguard the rules-based international order and deal with threats from authoritarian forces.
If the Taiwan authorities want to join the WHO and other international organizations, in fact, there is no need to expend huge energy to seek help from Western countries, return to the framework of the "one-China principle," recognize the "1992 Consensus," and participate in the WHO Conference. On the other hand, without the mainland's approval, it would be useless for the Taiwan authorities to rely on Western countries.
As early as May 7, Chen Shizhong, head of Taiwan's health authorities, admitted that he would not attend the World Health Assembly held on May 22, giving the reason that the epidemic in Taiwan was serious and he could not open his body for the time being. In fact, if the mainland does not allow it to go, the Taiwan authorities will not be able to go. In the face of the harsh reality, if the Taiwan authorities continue to be obstinate and introduce foreign forces to exert pressure on the mainland, thus moving toward substantive "Taiwan independence," this can only show that they are not only stupid but also bad, and in the end it is the ordinary people in Taiwan who suffer.
