“Provided to peacekeepers and Olympic players” in China to take the initiative in vaccines

One year ahead of the International Health Organization’s (WHO) declaration of the Corona 19 pandemic (a pandemic), China has set out to take the lead in vaccines. It is interpreted that the’Corona 19 China responsibility theory’, which is raised mainly in the United States, is a paving stone to break through the domestic vaccine as a weapon.

At a press conference on the 7th, Wang Yi, a member of China’s State Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs, announced that he would provide Chinese-made vaccines to developing countries and lead discussions on the introduction of an international’vaccine passport’.

Wang mentioned the vaccine a total of 36 times in a 100-minute speech that day. It criticized the vaccine monopoly of advanced countries and proposed to provide Chinese vaccines to developing countries such as Africa, Arabs, Southeast Asia and Latin America, as well as peacekeepers and Olympic athletes.

Regarding the point that China is using’vaccine’ as a means of acquiring developing countries, China opposes’vaccine nationalism’ and does not accept the creation of’vaccine divide (developed countries have left vaccines and developed countries lack vaccines’) I oppose any attempt to politicize.”

Director Wang expressed his intention to lead the discussion on’vaccine passports’.

When asked how to help Chinese overseas quarantine, he replied, “In order to implement the’Health Certificate Mutual Authentication Global Mechanism’ proposed by President Xi Jinping, China will create a Chinese version of the electronic health certificate for international travelers.” “China will help safe and orderly human traffic by realizing mutual authentication of nucleic acid testing and vaccination information under the premise that personal information is thoroughly protected.” It is a remark that can be interpreted with the intention of making the Corona 19 application (APP), which is called Zen Kangbao (健康寶, English name Health Kit) in China, an international standard. China’s quarantine authorities have identified the movements of 1.4 billion Chinese individuals with Zen Kangbao, which was distributed at the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, and then use it for quarantine by classifying it into green, yellow, and red codes.

Earlier, the European Union (EU) has started to introduce a’vaccine passport’. The EU program, called the’Digital Green Vaccine Passport’, is designed for international travel without quarantine with a certificate stating that you have been vaccinated against Corona 19.

However, the World Health Organization (WHO is still negative about the introduction of a’vaccine passport.’ Hans Kruger, director of the WHO European Office, said in a videoconference on the 4th that the persistence of vaccine immunity is not clear, and the virus will spread by vaccinations. Hong Kong’s Myungbo reported on the 8th that they were concerned about the risks, and also raised concerns that the introduction of a “vaccine passport” could force the state to be vaccinated and discriminate against those who did not or could not receive the vaccine.

China’s’vaccine diplomacy’ is expected to unfold in the global Chinese community. At a press conference, manager Wang Yi said that he would carry out a’sprouting action’ to inoculate overseas Koreans. It is mentioned that more than 50 countries have already included Chinese citizens in their vaccination plans, and that not a few Chinese are getting Chinese vaccinations locally. He also expressed his willingness to establish a vaccination center made in China in countries where conditions permit.

However, it is predicted that opaque information on vaccines made in China and delays in approval of each country will be an obstacle to’vaccine diplomacy’.

Meanwhile, on April 8, China is planning to hold a large-scale commemorative event on the first anniversary of the lifting of the blockade of Wuhan. Wang Yi said, “The heroic Hubei people and Wuhan people have made huge sacrifices to win the nationwide corona war.” A month later, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a special global promotion in Hubei and revived the new appearance of Hubei. And help build a new bridge of foreign cooperation.”

Corona 19 was first discovered in Wuhan, Hubei in December 2019. From January 23, 2020, the entire city of Wuhan was blocked, and the blockade was lifted on April 8.
