Beijing’s toadies at the United Nations are still hard at work appeasing China’s ludicrous claim over democratic Taiwan. From Taiwan’s Central News Agency:
The United Nations has refused for years to issue press accreditation to Taiwanese journalists for the annual meeting on the grounds that Taiwan is not a U.N. member state.
The policy continued for the 63rd session of the General Assembly that opened Sept. 16 in New York.
Taiwanese journalists used to be able to cover the annual World Health Assembly held every May in Geneva, but authorization was withdrawn in 2004 under pressure from China.
If we ever end up with a League of Democratic Nations–leaving the UN to the thugocracies of the world–one of its first pieces of business, after inviting Taiwan to be a member, should be to bar Chinese journalists.
