a very powerful hold
It was floated over a week ago but now it is official and actually being done.
"I'm not saying that I'm going to do it. But we're going to look at it," he said. When a reporter noted that he had indeed said the funding would end, Mr. Trump insisted, wrongly: "No, I didn't. I said we're going to look at it."
Frankly I find the WHO's conduct on Taiwan to be quite grotesque, and all of this is valid. But I feel like stuff of this nature should be settled after the pandemic and not during.I imagine 99.99% of the WHO workers are responsible and want to do everything they can to save as many lives as possible, but at the same time its really obvious that the Director-General of the WHO, Tedros Ghebreyesus, is essentially a puppet of the chinese government and the level of corruption between him and China is staggering. Mr. Ghebreyesus has no training as a doctor, had no previous health management experience, and China has poured billions into Mr. Ghebreyesus' native Ethopia with a lot of questionable coincidences of money spending (really unmistakable naked bribery). Under his leadership the WHO has had an insane amount of charges of racism, sexism, and corruption leveled against it.

Yeah, agreed with this. The WHO definitely has some skeletons in the closetI imagine 99.99% of the WHO workers are responsible and want to do everything they can to save as many lives as possible, but at the same time its really obvious that the Director-General of the WHO, Tedros Ghebreyesus, is essentially a puppet of the chinese government and the level of corruption between him and China is staggering.

He doesn't even care if it's actually happening. All he wants to do is win the daily news cycle. If he can do it twice with the same news, bonus!He actually said it was happening at the time (in the quote I provided). Later he took it back and claimed he never said it
So I don't see how him saying it in a press conference today makes it any more official or reliable than when he said it in a press conference last week
Thats exactly what I've seen happening with him. So now its whose your daddy? Trump or Xi? I think Xi is going to win this round. China is all about saving face.
Less than one sixth of it comes from the US.How much of WHO is funded by the USA? Like is this a move that is going to hit them hard, or is more just making a statement?
You don't have to be a brain genius to recognize that no longer getting any funding from the US would bias the organization towards China.
