On Monday, China's foreign ministry asserted that Taiwan cannot join the World Health Assembly without approval from China's central government.

The ministry emphasized that the political foundation necessary for Taiwan's participation has been compromised due to Taiwan authorities' 'separatist' position.

According to a statement, this stance has led to the withdrawal of support for Taiwan's inclusion in the assembly.
