It's absurd that the World Health Organization's elite group of "Goodwill Ambassadors" includes James Chau — a Chinese government news presenter who has broadcast forced confessions, and who is now aggressively exploiting his WHO title to whitewash China's handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

As documented in Newsweek magazine, Chau is a paid mouthpiece for Beijing's totalitarian regime, and he is using his position as a goodwill ambassador with the U.N.'s top health organization to legitimize his non-stop propaganda that is whitewashing China's crimes.

The WHO and its chief Tedros are rightly under pressure after they repeatedly lavished praise on Chinese President Xi Jinping's regime for its "seriousness," "transparency" and "leadership" in handling the pandemic.

To begin to restore its credibility, the W.H.O. must remove James Chau as its goodwill ambassador. Fire Chau now.
