【文章摘要】本文針對 2020 年世界衛生組織(WHO)總幹事譚德塞指責台灣對其進行種族歧視一事,進行客觀還原。文中詳列 WHO 在 武漢肺炎 (COVID-19) 爆發初期的決策時序,指出其迎合中國、隱匿疫情的疑慮,並強調台灣長期遭受國際排擠與不公平對待的處境。
世衛爭議:是誰歧視誰?
譚德塞先生,您真的想算這筆帳嗎?您可能貴人多忘事,但是我們就來算算,到底是誰歧視誰?
在疫情爆發初期,台灣人甚至不太知道您是誰。我們早已習慣被國際邊緣化,所以大多數台灣人可能連聯合國秘書長是誰都不知道。然而,貴組織在 2020 年 1 月 13 日第一次針對武漢肺炎發表新聞稿時,提到:「從中國分享的病毒基因序列,讓更多國家可以快速的診斷病人。」這是您第一次公開稱讚中國。從此以後,您言必稱中國,卻無視武漢舉辦萬家宴等群聚感染事實,甚至協助中國隱匿疫情,放任病毒傳播全世界,這才開始讓台灣人注意到您。
2020 年 WHO 疫情初期決策與言論時序表
- 1月14日: 認為根據中國官方說法,病毒不會人傳人。
- 1月23日: 認為這只是中國的公共衛生緊急事件,對世界衛生威脅甚小,並大讚中國透明度高。
- 1月25日: 持續發表「一般風險」言論,認為事態不會擴大。
- 1月28日: 反對各國從中國撤僑,認為中國有能力處理。
- 2月3日: 認為不需要過度反應,減少旅遊與活動是不必要的激烈行為,不用取消航班,不需要關閉邊境。
- 2月9日: 才坦承病毒有可能出現廣泛人傳人。
- 2月11日: 聲稱中國災情不嚴重,世界各國才是,要求世界各國認真對抗病毒。
- 2月19日: 公開稱讚中國「犧牲自己,拯救全世界」。
- 2月21日: 稱中國病例顯著減少,是令人鼓舞的消息。
- 2月24日: 堅持用「大流行(pandemic)」來形容病毒並不恰當。
- 3月2日: 仍堅持病毒並未大流行。
- 3月11日: 終於宣布病毒已經造成全球大流行。
批評無能並非歧視,真正的歧視在中國
台灣並沒有歧視黑人,而是台灣長期被您的「第二祖國」中國歧視。台灣處於疫情傳播高風險區,是靠著全民的努力才能成功防疫。對您的批評,是源於對一位尸位素餐、逢迎諂媚、見風轉舵的高官的憤怒,而非種族歧視。
若要談種族歧視,中國在 2016 年春晚節目中,讓中國女藝人「塗黑臉」並刻意誇大臀部扮演黑人,甚至讓黑人演員飾演猴子角色以迎合中國觀眾,這才是真正的歧視。相反地,台灣在同年 3 月底,還募款拯救了一名衣索匹亞(您的祖國)的留學生,而台灣的世界展望會與家扶中心,也長期認養了非常多的衣索匹亞孩童。究竟是誰在歧視,是非自有公論。
English Version
MR Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, regarding your accusations to Taiwan and eager to settle the score so much! Great wits have short memories, let me recall yours and make sure who is actually racist here?
About 3 months ago, to be honest, not that many Taiwanese knew your name. We have been segregated by the international community for so long. However, according to the WHO public announcement on Jan 13, 2020: “The genetic sequencing shared by China enables more countries to rapidly diagnose patients.” You praised China for the first time in public. From then on, every China-related topic was praised, while you ignored the WuHan 40,000-family banquet and the cover-up of the epidemic. If China had stopped these earlier, 95% of the pandemic would not have happened.
Timeline of WHO’s Statements in Early 2020
- Jan 14: Claimed no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission based on Chinese info.
- Jan 23: Claimed China was responsive and transparent, and there was no threat to the rest of the world.
- Jan 25: Claimed moderate risk level globally.
- Jan 28: Spoke against evacuation plans and believed China could handle the situation.
- Feb 3: Claimed no need to overreact, cancel flights, or close borders.
- Feb 9: Admitted COVID-19 can spread from human to human.
- Feb 11: Claimed China was not a disaster, but the rest of the world needed to pay attention.
- Feb 19: Publicly praised the Chinese Government for sacrificing their people to save the world.
- Feb 21: Claimed China’s new cases were decreasing.
- Feb 24: Claimed using “pandemic” does not fit the facts.
- March 2: Still insisted not a pandemic.
- March 11: Finally characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic.
Taiwanese have no racism against Black people; instead, Taiwan has been discriminated against by China for a long time. All the remarks toward you are judging your incompetence and bootlicking behavior, not your race. Real racism is China’s 2016 New Year Gala, where a Chinese actress painted her face black and another African actor acted as a monkey. Meanwhile, Taiwan raised funds to help an Ethiopian student and adopted many children from Ethiopia. Please look closely at Taiwan’s efforts and stop politicizing the pandemic.
