I don't agree with calling it "China-Virus Kung-Flu" but I do think it is appropriate to call it the Wuhan Virus since that is where it started. It's no different than Ebola which was first reported at the Ebola River, and West Nile first detected in West Nile Uganda.
If the WHO doesn't want viruses or diseases named after the place of origin, then I think they need to come up with an official name rather than just complaining.
