Taipei [Taiwan], May 31 (ANI): Taiwan on Monday said China continues to sabotage the island's COVID-19 vaccines purchasing efforts and isolate Taipei in the international arena.
Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council's (MAC) remarks come after the Chinese Foreign Ministry claimed Taiwan's plan to achieve independence through the COVID-19 vaccine "will not succeed".
The MAC refuted Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian's comments by saying that China's attempts to hinder third-party vaccine assistance are "deplorable" and it also allows Taiwanese to see Beijing's true face, Taiwan News reported.
China has continued to isolate Taiwan in the international arena, such as blocking the nation's participation in the World Health Assembly, the MAC said.
