Praising rapid Taiwanese response to COVID-19, MPs call for post-pandemic WHO inquiry

Liberal MP John McKay calls Taiwan ‘the bright and shining exception’ in dealing with the pandemic, while Conservative MP James Bezan says Taiwan’s alarm system ‘should have been the alarm bell for the rest of the world.'

Conservative MP James Bezan, left, and Liberal MP John McKay, right. Mr. Bezan says for Taiwan to continue to be shut out of having a seat at the table at the WHO is 'preposterous,' while Mr. McKay says 'Taiwan has a long history of dealing with Beijing, and they know that Beijing numbers are always manipulated by the Chinese Communist Party and not to be taken at face value.'
