[People News] The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has consistently portrayed itself in international forums as a responsible major power that "maintains international order" and "takes care of global public health." However, a document believed to be an internal diplomatic file from China has recently surfaced on the dark web, revealing that the CCP government conditioned a large donation on the Federated States of Micronesia's cooperation to block Taiwan's participation in the World Health Assembly (WHA). This document confirms that the CCP's previous claims were entirely false and further illustrates that the CCP's assertion of having made proper arrangements for the health rights of Taiwanese compatriots is merely a "deception aimed at the international community," exposing how the CCP weaponizes public health issues.

Buying a Signature for 1 Million

An account named hCharizard shared a leak from a dark web forum, where a grassroots diplomat from the CCP accused the party of offering 1 million RMB as a bribe for transportation costs, demanding that the Pacific island nation of Micronesia sign a joint letter to block Taiwan's participation in the 79th World Health Assembly (WHA).

The leak details the official document: The Chinese embassy in Micronesia requested that the country support its stance on Taiwan. Micronesia signed the joint letter on April 8 and submitted it to WHO Secretary-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on May 5, invoking the "One China principle" to obstruct Taiwan's participation. Once the arrangement was finalized, on June 10, China provided 1 million RMB specifically for Micronesia to purchase a ceremonial vehicle of a Chinese brand, and Micronesia accepted the donation on June 23.

This diplomat complained that the Chinese government’s core support base is nearly running out of momentum, yet it is still being forced to keep pouring resources into these zero-return political ventures. It would be better to save the money and use it to plug holes in its own economy.

In response to this leaked confidential document, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan) issued a strong condemnation of the Chinese Communist Party’s continued suppression of Taiwan’s international participation. It also called on the World Health Organization (WHO) to remain neutral, firmly reject China’s improper political obstruction, and follow the practice from 2009 to 2016 by proactively inviting Taiwan to participate in the World Health Assembly (WHA) as an observer on a regular basis.

How does the Chinese Communist Party manipulate the World Health Assembly (WHA) to prevent Taiwan from participating in global health initiatives?

According to the Liberty Times, the recent leak of an internal document related to the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) on the dark web has sent shockwaves through the international community and diplomatic circles. This is because the document vividly illustrates the Chinese Communist Party's long-standing tactics of 'behind-the-scenes operations' within multilateral organizations.

The Chinese Communist Party's efforts to block Taiwan's participation in the global health system at the World Health Assembly (WHA) exemplify its application of the 'One China' principle, as well as its strategies for diplomatic isolation and united front operations in international organizations. Specifically, this is accomplished through a systematic approach that includes legal interpretations, infiltration of the United Nations system, economic coercion, and mobilization of votes from member states.

The Chinese Communist Party has distorted UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 and WHA Resolution 25.1, expanding the concept of 'handling China's representation' to imply 'international recognition of Taiwan as part of China.' This legal maneuver effectively suffocates Taiwan's opportunities for participation under the 'One China' principle.

By funding and supporting personnel to exert influence, the Chinese Communist Party, through a 'secret memorandum' established in 2005, transferred the authority over Taiwan's experts' participation rights to Beijing. This allowed them to control the issuance of invitations, thereby completely blocking Taiwan's attendance.

Leveraging the 'Belt and Road Initiative,' debt relief, and vaccines, the Chinese Communist Party coerces the 'Global South' and its diplomatic allies to voice opposition to Taiwan at the assembly. Additionally, it uses its numerical advantage to overwhelmingly reject proposals supporting Taiwan in 'two-versus-two debates.'

Unmasking the Chinese Communist Party

The revelation of this internal document confirms that the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) assertion of 'properly caring for Taiwan's health rights' is nothing but a facade. In reality, it transforms public health issues into 'political-economic bargaining' and 'weaponization'; simultaneously, it exposes the scandal of international organizations like the WHO being manipulated and scripted by financial interests, completely stripping away the pretense of 'health knows no borders' and 'administrative neutrality'.

This form of 'transactional diplomacy', which uses the health of 23 million people as a bargaining chip, continues to undermine the CCP's international credibility and alerts the world to the dangers of political infiltration within multilateral systems.

As early as 2023, former President of Micronesia David Panuelo publicly criticized the CCP for engaging in 'political warfare' in the region, bribing officials with cash, and exerting pressure on national stances. The documents recently uncovered on the dark web serve as a factual confirmation of his earlier warnings, demonstrating that monetary influence and political coercion are not isolated incidents, but rather systematic diplomatic strategies.

For an extended period, collaborating with the CCP to suppress Taiwan has been viewed as a 'low-risk, high-reward' strategy in the international diplomatic landscape—providing benefits while avoiding significant political accountability to domestic voters.

According to Sanli News, within the framework of international political realism, the primary focus of decision-making in most countries is not based on morality, but rather on 'national interests' and 'regime survival.' The Chinese Communist Party has recognized this reality, which is why it has transformed 'blue, gold, and yellow' into a systematic quid pro quo arrangement. To break this vicious cycle, it is essential to expose more truths and 'weaponize' these opaque transactions, turning them into a political reputational cost that politicians and international organizations cannot afford. This approach could help awaken the international community from the ongoing struggle for interests.
