5/ With the 20 million dollars given by the CCP, the WHO has become the CCP’s mouthpiece who would, by all means, protect the CCP’s reputation rather than assume its role as a leader in global health cooperation.

@joshuawongcf
4/ While the WHO has never once reported the ill-doings of the CCP, such as its fake news campaign to blame the US army for spreading the coronavirus in Wuhan, it has constantly criticised the epidemic prevention strategies adopted by the European and American government.
1753
@joshuawongcf
2/ WHO accused other countries of overreacting before their experts could even conduct field investigations in Wuhan & other affected areas. When the epidemic in China got out of hand in early Feb, it still praised the CCP’s resistance to the epidemic.

@joshuawongcf
[World Health Organization is one of the culprits in this global pandemic.]
1/ Under @DrTedros, WHO missed the best opportunity to stop the Coronavirus. When the coronavirus first broke out in Wuhan, WHO simply adopted one-sided account given by the Chinese Communist Party.

After #AnimalCrossing, #nnevvy and #StopMekongDam sagas, my email is flooded with death emails by #Chinese nationalist trolls and Instagram mobs. But this cannibal threat is new…
This is the way how #China silences critical voices worldwide.

In the face of the pro-China barrage, support rallied for the Thai celebrities from anti-Beijing activists and politicians - including Hong Kong pro-democracy campaigner Joshua Wong and a Taiwan mayor.

5/ Also, I also call on Hongkongers and Taiwanese to support our allies in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. It is utterly immoral for China to control the water in the Mekong River and let people die of severe drought. China must #StopMekongDam.

4/ When China has been stepping up its influence in Asia, the threat is now on our doorstep. Therefore, I hope all Asian societies can build pan-Asian solidarity to fend off all forms of authoritarianism from China, with our creativity and fondness for liberty.

3/ When Twitter is blocked in China, China thinks that they can play same old trick & suppress Thai people’s critics. It carries implications for future 🇹🇭-🇨🇳 cooperation. Once cooperating with other countries, China will entirely disregard public opinion in other democracies.
1760
@joshuawongcf
2/ Even after the heroic victory & creative memes by Thai people, China has not yet given any single word of apology for its reckless behaviour. The twitter war perfectly shows how China uses its economic muscle & irrational trolls to bend other countries to its autocratic will.
1761
@joshuawongcf
[The statement by Chinese Embassy Bangkok is sheer arrogance and ignorance.]
1/ It is indisputable that the #nnevvy saga was provoked by the Chinese nationalist trolls, by firstly doxing, insulting and demeaning the Thai celebrities and people in Thailand.

@joshuawongcf
4/ HKGov is incapable of leading Hong Kong out of this epidemic, but fortunately, seven million Hong Kongers are aware of how dire the situation is and are willing to stand in solidarity and combat this pandemic together.
1763
@joshuawongcf
3/ Of millions of visitors who have come to HK, how many of them have unknowingly been in close contact with those who have contracted coronavirus? Medical staff went on strike to pressure HKGov to seal off the borders to prevent more people from entering HK but to no avail.
1764
@joshuawongcf
1/ HKGov didn't provide the necessary information to combat the coronavirus. They're unwilling to request people to wear masks at early stages of the epidemic. Thankfully, HKers have learnt that Gov doesn't provide credible information & was fully aware that #selfhelp is needed.

#Taiwan > the WHO! t.co/V5OdeQZwAx

@joshuawongcf
The WHO is an arm of Chinese diplomacy under the guise of liberal internationalism or global governance. Transnational cooperation is of course crucial to combating pandemics, but the institution in question is the anthesis of it, as the shunning of Taiwan makes painfully clear. twitter.com/RepJimBanks/st…
1767
@joshuawongcf
My years of activism have been devoted to building transnational solidarity. But that doesn't mean placing blind trust in institutions like the WHO that care more about protecting the interests of nation-states over, you know, the interests of actual people.
1768
@joshuawongcf
The UN is another case in point. In 1971, it kicked out Taiwan. In 1972, it removed Hong Kong from the official List of Non-Self-Governing Territories, so we'd have no referendum to decide our future. This is all great-power politics over the right of self-determination.
1769
@joshuawongcf
Agreed with my friend Wang Dan here. Americans might view Trump's decision through partisan lens, but as I've always said, on Hong Kong — and, likewise, Taiwan/China — it's not a matter of right or left, but of right or wrong. Defunding the WHO is absolutely right. twitter.com/wangdan1989/st…

This one-minute excerpt of @yvonne_tg's brilliant interview with a top WHO official last month is as powerful as it gets. twitter.com/nathanlawkc/st…

@joshuawongcf
Great decision. Controlled by authoritarian #China, the WHO is more interested in the politics of excluding democratic #Taiwan than saving lives. Here's the truth: The more you distrust it (like the Taiwanese and us Hong Kongers) the more likely you can contain the Wuhan virus. twitter.com/Independent/st…

@joshuawongcf
[Vlog with @SunnyCheungky: youtu.be/bAiba7SXiTA]
1/ Success of HK & Taiwan in containing the spread of coronavirus, was heavily due to distrust towards HKGov & China after tragic SARS outbreak in 2003. As a result, HKers respond to pandemic instantly with little hesitation.

@joshuawongcf
Someone even sent me this yesterday.........

@joshuawongcf
Wow, didn't know I'm single-handedly responsible for so many "conspiracies": first banning #AnimalCrossing in China, and now, disguised as Thai just to spread "fake rumors" about the Wuhan Virus's origin, advocate HK/TW independence and infiltrate Weibo 🤣🤣🤣 #驚天大陰謀 twitter.com/G_Jin_orz/stat…

@joshuawongcf
Our Thai friends are so creative and funny! See you guys on #AnimalCrossing — less mad Chinese nationalists there! #nnevvy twitter.com/KunKaaaaaa/sta…
