China supports talks on waiving intellectual property protections on COVID-19 vaccines, Beijing's commerce ministry said Thursday, amid a global push to widen access to jabs.

The World Trade Organization has for months faced calls to temporarily remove patent protections on coronavirus vaccines, in a bid to get the drugs to poorer countries struggling to inoculate their people.

"China supports the World Trade Organization's proposal on intellectual property exemptions, for anti-epidemic materials such as COVID-19 vaccines, to enter the text consultation stage," Chinese commerce ministry spokesman Gao Feng said.
