Public health is the problem with them ignoring data from Taiwan.

1. What part of that statement makes you think that they ignored data from Taiwan? It was quite obviously a dodge of a politically sensitive question.

2. Both Taiwan and China claim to be China, so that statement wasn't even factually wrong.

Taiwan nowadays is kinda forced by China to claim to be China actually.

Nowadays? Yes. But it has been making that same claim for nigh-on 70 years, long before China has been strong-arming them into it.
