Tsai should not hijack the WHA issue for political end

This year's World Health Assembly will be held in Geneva from May 21 to 26. And for the second year running, Taiwan will not attend.

As the World Health Organization confirmed on Tuesday, the previous invitations extended to the island from 2009 to 2016 were a special arrangement based on a cross-Straits understanding that allowed the island to attend as an observer.

But this arrangement was based on the island's previous administration upholding the 1992 Consensus that there is only one China.
