Wading in w/trepidation but think it& #39;s important to critically examine @DrTedros& #39;s comments at today& #39;s @WHO presser that he was "attacked by racial slurs...And if you want me to be specific, three months ago, this attack came from Taiwan..." 1/ (@~29:00): https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1773&v=-8b8Vj6lg3Q&feature=emb_logo">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Search of "WHO" & "black" or "African" in Eng/Chn here shows some racist insults against Tedros. *This isn& #39;t okay*. But t& #39;s not clear that a) these are actual Taiwanese people& #39;s accts; b) that they are part of a & #39;campaign& #39; as Tedros says or c) @MOFA_Taiwan was in any way aware 2/

Here& #39;s an ex. from 02/20 that calls Tedros ugly & his conscience as dark as his face: "從這個醜態百出的WHO總幹事貪得塞...其良心和他的臉一樣黑". https://twitter.com/ABC12349540264/status/1230499578903965697">https://twitter.com/ABC123495... But the account is a) anonymous & b) usually writes in simplified Chinese (see the & #39;birthdate& #39; 06/04/1989!) 3/

Another from mid-March (3 months ago was early January before *anyone* was criticizing the @WHO& #39;s approach to #COVID19). The anon acct is aggressively pro-Taiwan but a) has never Tweeted independently (only replied) & b) was started in 08/2012 but never Tweeted until 02/20/20 4/
