Taipei, July 3 (CNA) The Taiwan Nurses Association (TNA) shed light Wednesday on bullying of Taiwan by China at the just-concluded 2019 congress of the International Council of Nurses (ICN) held in Singapore.

"The rude and unexpected move by China's representative caught everyone by surprise at the venue, which clearly demonstrated China's malicious and unscrupulous intentions toward Taiwan," the TNA said in a statement on its website.

According to Chen Ching-min (陳靜敏), TNA vice chairwoman and a lawmaker of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party, when the ICN chairman was greeting representatives of member states on stage at the closing ceremony of the event Tuesday, Chinese representative Wu Ying (吳瑛) suddenly reached out her "salty pig hand" and flipped over the name tag of Huang Lian-hua (黃璉華), a Taiwanese representative.

Huang's name tag had a Republic of China national flag sticker on it, and the shameful behavior by Wu was obviously meant to cover the flag so that nobody would see it, Chen said, adding that Wu went even further by hiding it with Huang's scarf before Huang turned it back.
