Why should the WHO recognize Taiwan as a country when the US, Canada, Australia, Japan and all of Europe do not?
Expecting more from the WHO than you expect from the members who fund it seems insupportable.

Many countries do "recognize" Taiwan unofficially, but surely matters of life or death should be treated a bit differently.
It's disgraceful that WHO refused information requests from Taiwan and to see senior officials feigning deafness when questioned about Taiwan.
Now I don't particularly care whether they want to list Taiwan or not, but the only reason for that decision (when they are listing places like the Holy See!) is because they are moderating their position based on Chinese interests.
This is basically conversation ending evidence that the WHO is willing to act as a mouthpiece for Communist Party positions. That really should be it as far as YouTube's decision is concerned. The WHO are not an appropriate source for deciding what media people see. No body where the CPC is involved is. The CPC is not trustworthy; they can and will abuse the trust YouTube is placing in a body they have serious influence.
