A group of local Taiwanese organizations in California held a press conference on May 18 to urge the World Health Organization (WHO) to allow Taiwan to participate in the upcoming World Health Assembly (WHA). They pointed out that the WHO shouldn’t cave in to pressure from Beijing over discriminating against Taiwan.

The 74th WHA will take place virtually from May 24 to June 1 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The WHA is the WHO’s decision-making body.
