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.

Taiwan Says Chinese Regime’s Threat Against Island’s Foreign Minister ‘Absurd and Ridiculous’
The Chinese Communist Party threatened to take all necessary measures to severely punish Taiwan’s foreign minister on Wednesday for remarks made on Twitter, leading Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to issue a statement saying that Beijing was being “absurd and ridiculous.”
On Tuesday, Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said on Twitter that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had blocked Taiwan’s participation in the World Health Assembly (WHA), referring to Taiwan by its official name the Republic of China (ROC). Wu added that the Chinese regime’s claim that “it has made proper arrangements for Taiwan’s participation” is a lie. He also pointed out that Beijing has publicly lied about its suppression of minority Uyghurs, Tibetans, and people of Hong Kong, that the regime has no right to represent the people of democratic Taiwan internationally.
