Taiwan doubles down on virus criticism as China denounces 'disgusting' behavior

Taiwan doubled down on its criticism of China's handling of the coronavirus crisis on Wednesday, saying the Communist Party cared more about power than its own people, while Beijing described Taipei's allegations of a cover-up as slander. The epidemic has deepened enmity between Taiwan and China, which regards the democratic island as its sacred territory, to be brought under its control by force if necessary. Taiwan's government says China has intentionally hampered its efforts to get virus information direct from the World Health Organization.
