BEIJING, May 27 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson on Monday made remarks regarding that the 77th World Health Assembly (WHA) rejected the so-called proposal of "inviting Taiwan to participate in the WHA as an observer" submitted by certain countries.
The spokesperson said that the General Committee and the Plenary Session of the 77th WHA respectively decided to reject the so-called proposal. This has been the eighth year in a row that the WHA has rejected the so-called proposal concerning Taiwan. China's position on Taiwan-related issues at the WHA is widely understood and supported by the international community. Over 100 countries explicitly expressed support for China's position by writing to the WHO Director-General and through other means. This fully demonstrates that the one-China principle is where global opinion trends and the arc of history bends, and must not be challenged. ■
