TAIPEI - Taiwan and China are embroiled in a new spat over the fate of Taiwanese stranded in the Chinese city of Wuhan, the coronavirus epicenter, after Taiwan said one of its citizens sent back on the first flight was infected with the disease.
Beijing has permitted countries from the United States to Japan to send often several flights to Wuhan to collect their nationals.Taiwan’s China policy-making Mainland Affairs Council said the first flight back, on Monday, had one passenger confirmed to be affected and three others who had fevers.The presence of the sick passenger “created a tear in virus prevention”, the council said in a statement on Friday.
China should be prioritizing the elderly, the young and other vulnerable groups amongst the Taiwanese and those only on short-term visits to Wuhan to send back first, but China ignored this request when it returned the first batch, it added.
