While the island of Taiwan, which proclaimed itself as an excellent student in combating the COVID-19 epidemic, is stuck in a new outbreak that entered into the stage of community transmissions, experts from both the Chinese mainland and the island criticized the Taiwan authority for its incompetence and arrogance, and they said the key problem is that the Taiwan authority has politicized the pandemic to serve its secessionist purpose.

The island of Taiwan is seeing a surge in COVID-19 cases, highlighting the pro-secessionism Democratic Progressive Party s (DPP) negligence. Although some have called for semi-official cooperation with the Chinese mainland on vaccines and epidemic control, it s very likely that the DPP will refuse the mainland s kindness.
Besides, it seems that the DPP will continue to play the grief card for political manipulation and to hype the possibility of joining the World Health Assembly (WHA), observers noted.

A mainland spokesperson Tuesday slammed Taiwan s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authority for its latest attempt to hype up the Taiwan independence narrative in the international community.
Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, pushed back against the DPP authority in response to a query on Tsai Ing-wen s remarks at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit 2021.
