Kishore Mahbubani, who is bullshitting who? US$https://www.straitstimes.com/opinion/can-humanity-make-u-turns
In 1971 the WHO total budget was 89 million US$; in 2017 (last year fully accounted) it was 3,8 BILLION. 1
2 The Gates foundation alone gave 325 million US$ in 2017. The country you actually defend (China) gave 10,58 million US$ in voluntary contributions that year, the list of private donors is full of US and European names - it's hard to identify a single name from China.
3 What you are asking for is full control of activities by the staff at the top and the coalition of member states who chose Mr. Tedros and still support him. Even when he accuses the Taiwan government of "racism" to cover his own bias towards the PRC.
4 And by the way don't bullshit either about the WHO budget serving the needs of developed countries. In 2017, for example, 44 % went to Africa. Yes the WHO is very much needed and useful, but not the kind of kowtowing diplomacy that currently runs it.
