China joins WHO-backed vaccine programme Covax rejected by Trump


Oct.08 -- China has signed on to the World Health Organization’s Covax program, the $18 billion initiative to deploy covid-19 vaccines to the world. Bloomberg’s John Liu reports on “Bloomberg Daybreak: Asia.”

Joining the fight: Hua said China will also strengthen vaccine cooperation with relevant countries through the Covax network. 

This is an important step China has taken to uphold the concept of a shared community of health for all and to honour its commitment of turning Covid-19 vaccines into a global public good, Hua said in a statement released on the Foreign Ministry’s website yesterday.


Currently, the Covid-19 pandemic still poses a severe threat to the safety and health of people in all countries.

China continues to focus on ensuring that developing countries have equal access to appropriate, safe and effective vaccines.

“To that end, we have solemnly pledged to make vaccines developed and deployed by China a global public good, which will be provided to developing countries as a priority,” Hua said.

China has maintained close communication with Covax with a positive attitude towards joining it, Hua said, noting that even when China is leading the world with several vaccines in advanced stages of R&D and with ample production capacity, it still decided to join Covax.

“We are taking this concrete step to ensure equitable distribution of vaccines, especially to developing countries, and hope more capable countries will also join and support Covax,” said the spokesperson.

“China will also strengthen vaccine cooperation with relevant countries through the Covax network.”

The country will continue to work together with Covax partners and contribute its share to the global fight against the pandemic to safeguard all human beings’ safety and health, Hua said. — Xinhua

Sour grapes on display in Pew survey results on China

In the face of China's eye-catching economic figures, Western society has developed a strong sour-grape mentality, hoping to discredit China by all means. Only China's sufferings make some Westerners feel relieved. However, such self-deception is tantamount to drinking poison to quench one's thirst. The West's unfavorable views of China will not hurt the country's development, while hostility toward China will not help the West get the pandemic under control, either.

 

US elites no longer seek truth from facts: Global Times editorial

If the US cannot restore its basic spirit of seeking the truth, then the country is doomed to decline. The US is afraid of facing the facts, and it can only rely on lies to cover up its emerging disadvantages. Such a country cannot carry out effective reforms and will only drift along with its problems.

China to donate another 30 mln USD supporting WHO's fight against COVID-19 


China decided to donate another 30 million U.S. dollars to the World Health Organization (WHO) in support of global efforts to fight COVID-19 and the construction of public health systems in developing countries, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said here Thursday.

Spokesperson Geng Shuang told a news briefing that the WHO, led by Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, had actively fulfilled its duties with objective, science-based and fair position and played an important role in assisting countries in responding to the outbreak and boosting international cooperation on COVID-19.

Geng said to support the WHO is to defend the principles of multilateralism and safeguard the status and authority of the United Nations at a crucial time of the battle against the pandemic, adding that the virus is the common enemy of humankind, and the international community can only defeat it through unity and cooperation.

In March, China donated 20 million dollars to the WHO to support the global fight against COVID-19.

The spokesperson said China's donations to the WHO reflected the support and trust of the Chinese government and people in the organization, and China also made its own contributions to global public health and the fight against the pandemic.

"China will continue to stand in solidarity and render mutual assistance with other countries to jointly overcome the pandemic, safeguard regional and global public health and build a community with a shared future for mankind," he said.
