“The world's second largest economy” pays next to nothing (US$ 86 mio.+ US$ 10,2 mio. = US$ 96,2 mio. total) to WHO.
China isn't even among the top ten contributors.

2 private organizations pay 6.15 resp. 1.49 times as much as China.

(China did support Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus's election as WHO's director-general ... but that, of course, does not influence his attitude against Taiwan).

Top ten contributors, millions US$:

USA xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 893
Bill og Melinda Gates Foundation 591
United Kingdom xxxxxxxxxxxxx 435
GAVI Alliance xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 371
Germany xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 292
Japan xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 215
UNOCHA xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 192
Rotary International xxxxxxxxxxx 143
World Bank xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 133
EU (voluntary additional contrib.) 131

The top ten contributors give WHO US$ 3,396,000,000 or 35.3 times China's lousy US$ 96.2 million (2.8 percent of the contributions).
