This is the Chinese Government seeking to silence Taiwan's information dissemination, to outside of China and outside of Taiwan.
This time, it's using political power over WHO and the UN.
This causes the rest of the world suffering, by reducing the world's knowledge about the procession of the current pandemic gripping the world.
To me, this seems like a prelude to war by China on Taiwan.

Specifically "the United States acknowledges that Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China. The United States does not challenge that position." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_Communiqué https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_Communiqué. It's only a surprise because the US treats treaties like it says "as long as the grass grows or the water runs" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_removal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_removal
