Working on a session proposal for a conference, and they have #Taiwan, #HongKong and, most surprisingly, #Tibet listed as "countries" for registration.
Kritik an China: Taiwans Präsident erinnert an Tiananmen-Massaker
Vor 35 Jahren töteten chinesische Soldaten Hunderte Demonstranten in Peking. Das Ereignis wird in der Volksrepublik China totgeschwiegen. In Taiwan erinnerte nun Präsident Lai Ching-te an das Tiananmen-Massaker - und kritisierte China.
When SARS broke out in #Taiwan in ‘03, the WHO denied Taiwan’s request for the virus’ DNA to combat it.
The WHO told Taiwan’s health minister at the time to ask China.
#China refused the request and 137 people died in the following four months.
Taiwan has been denied WHO membership for five decades due to political reasons, says Dr. Chien-Jen, Taiwan’s Minister of Health at the time of the SARS outbreak.
Taiwan – which is democratically governed, and has never been ruled from the Communist-run People’s Republic of China – on 20 May inaugurated its newly elected president, Lai Ching-te. The routine democratic transition was greeted with fury by the Chinese Communist party, which staged war games around the island as a “punishment”.
The overwhelming attention that the #Trump case has gotten in #Japan media (and probably most #Asia media) compared to the #Taiwan protests is a bit ridiculous.
The latter, IMO, is far more important the the region.
