Taiwan’s Success in Coronavirus Fight Poses Challenge to China - WSJ

Taiwanese officials, media and even ordinary citizens have repeatedly referred to the “Wuhan pneumonia” in Chinese, defying Beijing’s insistence on using Covid-19, the official name assigned by the WHO, which says that labeling diseases by their geographic origin causes stigma. Chinese officials and state media had referred to the “Wuhan pneumonia” during the initial outbreak before denouncing the name as derogatory.

Another great struggle for freedom. Taiwan deserves more attention for gleaning best practices.
