World Health Assembly resumed today by video meeting; Taiwan still has not been invited to participate. The Taipei authority expressed high regret and strong dissatisfaction about obstructions from China and the continuous disregards from WHO on the health and human rights of Taiwanese.

The Department of Foreign Affairs in Taiwan said, during the process of Taiwan’s participation in the conference, international solidarity has grown stronger. Among them, the US once again urged WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to invite Taiwan to attend the convention. Countries in Europe, Africa, Latin America, and other regions also show their supports to Taiwan publicly. However, the WHO still refused to invite Taiwan to participate in the meeting due to political considerations.

The authority said that during the resumption of the meeting, it would plan for an online conference about cancer, inviting the officials and experts from America, Europe, and other countries to have the conversations, Taiwan will also continue to strive for the participation in WHO meeting, systems and activities.

German Minister of Foreign Affairs Call on Biden to Unite against CCP, with the Response from the Head of Chinese Official Media with Foul Language

After the US media predicted that Biden defeated Trump in the President-election yesterday, European leaders came to congratulate Biden, with the prospect of cooperating with the US to confront global issues. Heiko Maas, the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Germany, have raised a stir with Chinese official media after he published his congratulatory statement.

After the announcement from the media about the victory of Biden, Maas also congratulated Biden in a statement and mentioned his plan to connect with the US government, regarding issues of China, climate change, and the coronavirus pandemic. Maas stated that only if the west come together in unity, would they have the necessary influence to defend their shared values of the world.

In the fear that the west would rebuild their front against China, Chen Weihua, the head of European division of China Daily, posted “The funking Mass” on Twitter yesterday to express his discontent and aggression. He soon deleted his insult, but Thorsten Benner, the founder of Global Public Policy Institute, captured this classic post just in time.

IPCC Said Nothing Wrong with Hong Kong Police Shooting Journist without Warning during #PolyUSiege

During the Anti-ELAB movement on November 18, 2019, pro-democracy protesters trapped in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (#PolyU) attempted to break through the cordon line; however, the police outflanked them by splitting into 3 routes.

When a journalist from #StandNews was interviewing an arrestee, whose face was covered with blood, a sheriff from the Z4 Police Tactic Unit (#PTU) suddenly shot a #PepperBalls to the journalist's feet without warning.

Two years later, the Complaints Against Police Office (#CAPO) ruled that there was "nothing wrong" and the Independent Police Complaints Council (#IPCC) agreed with the classification.

CAPO replied in a letter regarding the case, claiming that police did not have a choice but to shoot the pepper balls and apply a minimum level of violence to disperse the crowd. The letter said that the aim was to "protect the police and the arrestees" and the reason was that "someone was non-stop chasing after the police" and "the police has asked people on site to leave, but they ignored".

There is a footnote in the letter, claiming that there is either a "misunderstanding," or "sufficient evidence showing the fairness and rationality of the actions carried out under #PoliceForceOrdinance."
