“This attack came from Taiwan,” said Tedros, who is a former Ethiopian health and foreign minister and the WHO’s first African leader.
Taiwan’s foreign ministry on Thursday strongly protested accusations from the head of the World Health Organization that it condoned racist personal attacks on him that he alleged were coming from the self-governing island democracy.
The ministry expressed “strong dissatisfaction and a high degree of regret, and raised the most solemn protest.” Taiwan is a “mature, highly sophisticated nation and could never instigate personal attacks on the director-general of the WHO, much less express racist sentiments,” the statement said.
Meh. The WHO has been pretty much broken, and are now placating to China's whims quote often recently...

Honestly, I think Tedros' statement tries to perform two things; (1) hide the fact that Tedros and the WHO have been delivering disinformation at China's behest and (2) attack Taiwan at China's request since China refuses to acknowledge Taiwan as a sovereign nation.
