China welcomes Biden's plan to deliver 80 million COVID vaccines to world, denies vaccine diplomacy
The Hindu
"There's a lot of talk about Russia and China influencing the world with vaccines.”
China on Tuesday welcomed U.S. President Joe Biden’s announcement to share 80 million COVID-19 vaccine doses with other countries but termed as "despicable" his assertion that Beijing and Moscow are trying to influence the world with their jabs. "Over the next six weeks, the United States of America will send 80 million doses overseas. That represents 13 % of the vaccines produced by the U.S. by the end of June. This will be more vaccine doses than any country has actually shared to date, five times more than any other country. More than Russia and China, which have donated 15 million doses," Mr. Biden .
