On June 6, Zhong Nanshan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out in a live broadcast that the natural immunization of COVID-19 will infect 60-70% of people in a country. If this situation happen in China, 30 to 40 million people will die in Chi na. Therefore, the solution is to rely on large-scale COVID-19 vaccination. This vaccine can be used as an emergency as early as this fall or the end of the year. Six vaccines in mainland China are already in clinical trials.
The US Republican Senator said in an interview on the 7th that the US has evidence that China is trying to destroy or delay the development of COVID-19 vaccines in Western countries.
Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Hua Chunying responded on the 8th that since the senator said there was evidence that China tried to undermine the development of the COVID-19 vaccine in Western countries, he was asked to show the evidence. Hua Chunying pointed out that the development of the COVID-19 vaccine is not a battle between China and the United States, but a battle between humans and viruses. Which country will be the first to complete the vaccine research and development and put it into use will be a contribution to the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic in humans.
President Xi Jinping has solemnly promised at the 73rd WHO Conference that if China successfully develops the COVID-19 vaccine and puts it into use, China is willing to use it as a global public product.
