TAIPEI - Taiwan is asking its diplomats to talk to governments where Taiwanese airlines fly to ensure more flights are not cut off due to the island’s inclusion by the World Health Organization as part of China due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Taiwan has only reported 10 cases, compared to more than 14,000 in China, but as the WHO considers self-ruled Taiwan part of China, it has included it in its advice that China is “very high risk”. Italy last week ordered all flights between the country and China to be stopped based on the WHO categorisation, including Taiwan’s China Airlines , the only Taiwanese airline to fly between the island and Italy.
“Taiwan is Taiwan. Taiwan is not a part of the People’s Republic of China,” he told reporters in Taipei, adding they had totally separate health and airline management systems.No other place aside from China has seen flights restricted and it is not fair to include Taiwan as part of the China restrictions, Wu added.
