Benjamin Gedan, deputy director of the Latin America program at the Wilson Center in Washington, called the practice "vaccine diplomacy," noting that it happens when countries seek to grow their international prestige by distributing vaccines to nations that need them.He said authoritarian governments, including those in China and Russia, have taken the lead in vaccine diplomacy in the last months.
"There have been reports from the foreign minister of Paraguay that intermediaries of the Chinese government explicitly said that Paraguay will not access the Chinese vaccine unless it changes its position on Taiwan," he said. She said China was the only major producer of personal protective equipment last year while it's competing now with many other countries that are producing different types of COVID-19 vaccines.Ong said China has invested a lot in boosting its soft power in developing countries from Latin America, Africa and southeast Asia, but it has also received a lot of pushback.
" The Sputnik V is a much more important tool, and they have been especially focusing in certain parts of Europe or where leaders have been more sympathetic to Mr. Putin's policy ... like Viktor Orban in Hungary or in Slovakia." Gedan, the Washington-based Wilson Center expert, said the United States may soon share its supply of COVID-19 vaccines globally, which would limit China and Russia's ability to influence other countries using their supplies.
Russian Sputnic V is the best and safest so far. Germans are taking vaccination trips to Moscow.
Where does that leave Canada and her influence? Oh thats right, at the back of the pack, alone, forgotten and downtrodden. Thanks JustinTrudeau.
Why not? If Canada doesn't have that capacity then it doesn't mean Russia, China and India are expoliting their capability.
Lol meanwhile the developed countries are hoarding vaccines to themselves and refuse to share with the rest of the world and only expecting to make 💰💰💰💰💰💰 from it
So is canada!
So Russia and China are offering their vaccines to other nations, and this somehow considered an act of evil? What if these two nations told the world to 'go to hell' and kept their vaccines for themselves? Would that make the 'experts' feel better?
U.S. and U.K can do the same if they are willing to share what they have.
So what’s wrong with that, you can do it too! We sit on a pile of vaccines and are willing to see it goes expire than share it with the world!
I know u have an agenda but we don’t even produce vaccines...... So lame......
China phobia and russiaphobia
