The Taiwan Affairs Office of China's State Council has urged Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) to immediately stop political calculation and manipulation on the Taiwan-related issues of the World Health Organization (WHO), a spokesperson said on Thursday in response to Taiwan's DPP and "Taiwan independence" separatist forces attempting to publicize Taiwan's issues participating in the World Health Organization.
Taiwan is part of China and has no right to join the WHO. The one-China principle is a universally recognized international norm that should not be challenged or trampled upon, and any issue concerning Taiwan's participation in the activities of international organizations must be resolved under the principle.
