【中国禁闻】台湾抗议世卫矮化 中共打压引反弹

【新唐人2011年5月18日讯】世界卫生大会(WHA)5月16号在瑞士日内瓦开幕，台湾卫生
署长邱文达当天递交抗议信，强烈抗议世界卫生组织(WHO)内部文件矮化台湾。与此同
时，台湾世卫宣达团十多年来持用中华民国护照，首次被拒绝旁听世卫大会。台湾朝野
一致谴责中共利用世卫打压台湾国际空间。

由台湾公民社、欧洲医界联盟、瑞士台湾协会等民间团体组成的台湾世卫宣达团，16号
申请世卫大会旁听证，结果持中华民国护照者，都遭到世卫拒绝，世卫声称是加强安全
管控。当天，台湾世卫宣达团多名成员在日内瓦万国宫外广场拉横幅抗议。

台湾世卫宣达团发言人廖林丽玲表示非常的震惊，并询问了工作人员，得到回答说『这
是今年特别的规定'。廖林丽玲认为，台湾已经成为WHA、WHO的观察员，竟然还受到这
样的待遇。怀疑这后面，「不晓得是现在执政的台湾政府还是中国政府，在打压台湾有
关于健康方面的权利。」

台湾卫生署长邱文达对世卫拒发大会旁听证给台湾民间团体，表达愤怒与不满。邱文达
16号向世卫总干事陈冯富珍的代表，递交措词强烈的抗议信，敦促世卫不要把台湾称为
「中国台湾省」。此前，台湾外交部也向世卫递交了抗议信。

台湾2009年以「中华台北」的名义成为世卫组织的观察员，连续3年称呼。而最近曝光
的世卫内部文件中，公开提醒会员国，要求他们称呼「中华民国」为「中国台湾省」。

这个消息一经披露，引起了台湾朝野的极大震动。《自由亚洲电台》说，这对马英九政
府寻求连任形成了很大的压力，毕竟马英九引以自豪的许多政绩都是来自与北京关系的
改善。

中华民国总统马英九10号在总统府召开记者会，强烈抗议中共利用世卫组织内部文件矮
化台湾。

马英九：「我要向大陆当局表达严正的抗议。2008年我就职的时候，在就职演说当中曾
经明白的表示，台湾要安全、要繁荣，更要尊严。唯有台湾在国际社会不被继续孤
立，两岸关系才能稳健发展。今天WHO世界卫生组织有这样的作为，显然是受到中共压
力的结果。用这种方式来伤害台湾人民的感情，对两岸都是极为不利的，我们不能接受
这样的方式。」

这是两岸在商讨和签署经济合作架构协议(ECFA)以来，马英九首度用严厉措词，公开谴
责北京政府。同时，马英九上任后推动的「活路外交」，正遭遇挫折和挑战。

马英九发表强硬的讲话后，北京国台办发言人范丽青表示，希望台湾「客观冷静地看待
这件事」，她并把责任推给世卫组织。

华盛顿战略与国际研究中心资深研究员葛来仪说：称呼台湾为中国的一省，对赢得台湾
民心和促�两岸和解没有帮助，北京采取这种做法只会产生反效果。

台湾民�党表示，马英九的大陆政策是否会因这次事件而有所改变，还有待观察。

马英九最近接受日本《朝日新闻》专访时表示，两岸之间如果没有「一个中国各自表述
」的「九二共识」，两岸关系将陷入停顿。而民�党主席蔡英文则表示，「九二共识」
不存在。

蔡英文与马英九将在2012年竞选下届中华民国总统。港台媒体评论指出，中共利用世卫
矮化台湾事件，显示两岸关系的脆弱性，将对台湾大选产生影响。

World Health Assembly (WHA) opened on May 16,in Geneva, Switzerland.
Taiwan's Health Director,Wen-Ta Chiu, submitted a letter to WHO to
protestagainst Taiwan being short changed.Promotion group from Taiwan,16
memberswith a ROC passports, was banned for the first timefrom attending
the WHA.Taiwan's political parties unanimously condemned Beijing for
containing Taiwan'sinternational space.Taiwan's WHO promotion group, 16
members fromTaiwan civil society, European medical associations,and other
civil societies of Switzerland, holdingROC passports were disallowed to
attend the WHO,for security reasons according to claims.Many members of the
Taiwan groupheld banners at La Plaza that day to protest.Liao Lin Liling, a
spokesperson for Taiwan's WHOpromotion group: "We are very shocked and
askedthe staff, who said, 'Special rules for this year'" Ms. Liao said that
Taiwan is a WHO observer,yet it is being treated like this. She
wonderedwhat was going on behind the scene:"Who is containing Taiwan? The
currentlyruling government of Taiwan or China?"Taiwan's Health Director,
Wen-Ta Chiu was angryand submitted a letter of protest to Margaret Chan,at
the General Assembly of WHO, urging the WHOto not regard Taiwan as 『
Chinese Taiwan Province.'Previously, Taiwan's Foreign Ministryalso
submitted a letter of protest to the WHO.

Ever since 2009, Taiwan has been a WHO observerunder the name of "Chinese
Taipei." However, in recentexposure of internal documents,WHO members are
reminded to address"ROC" as "Chinese Taiwan Province."

The news had a huge shock wave effect in Taiwan,to both, ruling government
and general public.Radio Free Asia said that these news addmuch pressure on
the re-election of Ma Ying-jeou,who considers improving relations with
Beijingto be one of his many proud achievements.

President Ma Ying-jeou held a press conferenceon May 10, strongly
protesting against WHO'sinternal documents, short changing Taiwan.

Ma Ying-jeou: "I want to express a solemn protestagainst the Mainland
authorities. I indicated clearlyin 2008's inaugural speech that Taiwan
needssecurity, prosperity and also dignity.A healthy development of the
cross-straitcan be achieved only when Taiwan is not
isolatedinternationally. What happened in the WHOis clearly a result of
Chinese authorities' pressure.We refuse to acceptany hurting of feelings of
the Taiwan people,which is extremely unfavorable to both sides."

For the first time Ma Ying-jeou used harsh languageto condemn Beijing since
the signing of the ECFA(Economic Cooperation Framework
Agreement).Meanwhile, Ma's "flexible diplomacy"is suffering setbacks and
challenges.

After Ma Ying-jeou's strong speech, Fan Liqing said,"Beijing's Taiwan
Affairs Office spokesperson,said that the WHO was to blame and that
Taiwanshould look at this 'calmly and objectively.'"

A senior research fellow from Center for Strategicand International Studies
in Washington, Glaser:"Calling Taiwan a province of China would notwin
hearts and promote cross-strait relations.Beijing's approach would be
counter-productive."

Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)is not sure that Ma Ying-jeou's
Mainland policywill change because of this incident.

In a recent interview with Japan's Asahi Shimbun,Ma said that if there is
no "1992 consensus"in "One China, respective interpretations,"the
cross-strait relations will come to a standstill.However, the Chairman of
DPP said,that "1992 consensus" does not exist.

DPP's Chairman, Tsai Ing-wen, and Ma Ying-jeouwill run for presidents in
the next 2012 elections.Hong Kong media commented that WHO incidentshows
the vulnerability of the cross-strait relations,and its possible impact on
Taiwan's next elections.NTD reporters Li Yuan Han and Xiao Yan2011-05-18
