Politicization of health issues slammed

China urged certain countries on Monday to stop politicizing health issues and stop interfering in China's internal affairs by exploiting the Taiwan question.

The Foreign Ministry made the remarks in a statement after the 77th World Health Assembly decided on Monday at the opening of the annual meeting of the World Health Organization not to include in its agenda a proposal on Taiwan's participation as an observer.

It's the eighth year in a row that the WHA has rejected the so-called proposal concerning Taiwan.
