From 2009 to 2016, Taiwan participated in the World Health Assembly under the name "Chinese Taipei", which has been a formula similar to its Olympics team that is known to be workable if health is the concern. Of course when the political winds changed, Taiwan no longer wanted to participate under this name, but you can't say with a straight face that CPC is solely at fault here. Taiwan wants to play politics just as much.
Regardless, this has no bearing on containing pandemics. Taiwan sends a panel to the WHA anyway, just not under a country flag. Nice propagandistic farce that works for the domestic audience on both sides.
