Taiwan separatists doomed to fail<\/p>\n
Hua Hua, China Daily, Asia News Network, Beijing<\/p>\n
Separatists in Taiwan were dealt a heavy blow when their
\nlatest attempt to create \"two Chinas\" or \"one China, one Taiwan\"
\nin the international community ended in failure.<\/p>\n
On Monday the 55th Assembly of the World Health Organization
\n(WHO) turned down a proposal to invite Taiwan to participate in
\nits activities as an observer.<\/p>\n
This is the sixth time since 1997 that the WHO has rejected
\nsuch a proposal put forward by a few countries.<\/p>\n
Surely it is time that the separatists learn from their
\nrepeated failure? The overwhelming majority of votes against such
\na proposal is a clear and strong signal that the international
\ncommunity recognizes there is only one China, and that Taiwan is
\na part of China.<\/p>\n
Any such attempts to separate Taiwan from the motherland will
\nbe doomed to fail.<\/p>\n
Die-hard separatists, however, have never given up even after
\nfailure and continue to resort to all possible approaches to
\npersuade a few countries to make a noise at the WHO assembly.<\/p>\n
Such a proposal poses a virtual challenge to the sovereignty
\nand to the territorial integrity of a member state. It violates
\nthe basic principles of the United Nations (UN) Charter, and
\nconstitutes an abuse of the right to raise proposals granted to
\nWHO member states.<\/p>\n
Such a political showcase staged by the separatist forces in
\nTaiwan, however, has been brushed aside and denounced by the
\nmajority of members of the UN.<\/p>\n
It seems that separatists on the island did learn some lessons
\nafter their previous attempts were foiled. This time they tried
\nto cloak their real purpose with the trick of entering the WHO as
\na so-called \"health entity.\"<\/p>\n
The WHO, however, is a UN organization which consists of
\nsovereign states only. It is by no means an institution made up
\nof so-called entities. And there has never been such a thing as a
\n\"health entity\" in the 50 years of the WHO's existence.<\/p>\n
Taiwan has no qualifications to join it.<\/p>\n
Those few separatists on the island could not be so ignorant
\nas to be unaware of what is common knowledge. So one does not
\nhave to look too far to see exactly what the Taiwan separatists
\nare plotting.<\/p>\n
The purpose for their constant attempts to push Taiwan into
\nthe WHO and politicalize health-related issues is nothing more
\nthan separating Taiwan from the motherland.<\/p>\n
Such a malicious purpose is against the will of compatriots
\nacross the Taiwan Straits, and has met with strong protests from
\nChinese people across the world.<\/p>",
