Germany to upgrade Taiwan’s WHO status

The German Bundestag wants to upgrade Taiwan’s status at the WHO. On Thursday, a corresponding motion by the SPD, CDU/CSU, Greens and FDP was adopted. In a resolution, the parliamentary groups had called on the German government to lobby the WHO to allow Taiwan to once again participate as an observer in the World Health Assembly and other WHO bodies and activities. The Bundestag thus openly opposes China, which opposes a diplomatic upgrade of the country, which Beijing considers a secessionist province.
