Taiwan is presumably red because if Taiwan was green China would be red. So, the WHO just sighs and goes "ok, Taiwan, would you mind accepting 'observer status' or something?", and Taiwan's rep just sighs too and says, "sure, we get it."

Taiwan isn't member of the UNO, and thus ain't member of the WHO either.
