    A reporter asked the spokesperson from the WHO about Taiwanese membership and the guy was just pretending he couldn’t hear her (Probably due to China being a big player in the WHO)

      I have a vague recollection of a Canadian politician getting cornered with a great question on covid response overreach on a video call, and after everyone watching, including a live audience, heard everything crystal clear, they were like “sorry, we seem to be having technical issues, couldn’t hear the question, looks like you’re breaking up!” And then they hung up LOL.

      Nothing to see here, folks, go back to your business!
