China gains greater influence through "vaccine diplomacy"?

A reporter from Singapore TV Asia News: In the global vaccine competition, China's new crown vaccine has attracted much attention.

Guo Weimin: I think the two questions you just asked, one is the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine, and the other is about the purpose of vaccine export.

Guo Weimin: Regarding the first question, China has taken vaccine research and development as an important task after the start of the battle against the new crown epidemic.

Guo Weimin: The vaccines of Sinopharm and Beijing Kexing that were previously conditionally listed in China are all inactivated vaccines.

Guo Weimin: You asked about our purpose of exporting vaccines.

Guo Weimin: As of the end of February, China has provided vaccine assistance to 69 countries and 2 international organizations, and exported vaccines to 28 countries.

Guo Weimin: At present, the new crown epidemic is still raging in many countries.
