"In April 2020, during the height of the pandemic, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the World Health Organization, said he had been subject to racial slurs on the internet from Taiwanese accounts.
Taiwan responded by saying the slurs originated from China, but were made under the pretense of being Taiwanese people."
And then everyone in Taiwan laughed at the excuse knowing full well that Taiwanese keyboard warriors are just as racist as the rest of the world. No one who has ever been to Taiwan would be surprised to find out there were instances of racism.
China is such a convenient out for the Taiwaneae people at times. They have horrible air pollution but pretend to blame it on pollution blowing over from China so they don't have to address their own problems.

Some internet comments from allegedly Taiwanese accounts seem really insignificant compared to an actual country (that was actually doing well public health-wise) being excluded from the WHO during a global pandemic.
