Trump Is Punishing the WHO for China’s Deceptions

As usual, however, there is more to the story. U.S. diplomatic officials tell me that the cutoff in funding came after senior U.S. officials pleaded with WHO leaders to make good on a list of reasonable requests — and those leaders refused.

The U.S. requests included supporting Taiwan’s bid to participate in the World Health Assembly, pressing China to provide U.S. public health agencies with the complete set of early samples of the virus, and providing greater transparency into how the virus initially spread within China. Only after WHO Secretary-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declined these requests did Trump cut off of funding — in an attempt to pressure him to change his mind.

The WHO secretary-general is in a bind. The organization needs access to China and its public health system, but China imposes conditions on such access. High on the list is the exclusion of Taiwan, which has had great success in fighting the pandemic but which China considers a breakaway province, from UN organizations.

For a long time the U.S. — the WHO’s largest donor — looked the other way when China employed these strong-arm tactics. No longer. .

After reading this why is anyone upset U.S. wants to pull out of funding the WHO...

U.S.: Include Taiwan
China: Fuck Taiwan
WHO: We agree with China

U.S.: Fuck WHO


seems easy
 
WHO trying to put pressure on Sweden to do it there way, only cause they don't want others to realise WHO's way is stupid and wasteful.

Fuck WHO for sure!!
 
US.: Fuck polio eradication in Africa


So 15% of the budget taken back and Europe, Asia, Latin America, Middle East...no one else can put in the 15% if they feel WHO doing a great job. I don't think U.S. demands were that ridiculous to keep funding.
