The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says it will continue to protest the World
Health Organization's addressing Taiwan as a"province of China."

The statement came two days after 20 European Parliamentarians issued a
letter of protest to the W-H-O -- in which they said the international body
risks its credibility and impartiality by referring to Taiwan as part of China.

Health Minister - Qiu Wen-da - filed an official letter of protest while
attending the World Health Assembly in May.

However .. the neither the W-H-O nor the W-H-A has responded.
Ministry officials say the government has no plans to let the matter be
settled this way ... and is continuing to follow up on the issue.
