CCP Blocks BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccines From Taiwan, Pushes Chinese-Made Vaccines Instead

Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen has condemned the Chinese communist regime for blocking the island nation's deal to obtain COVID-19 vaccines from German company BioNTech.

The Chinese Communist Party denied that it was preventing foreign companies from selling vaccines to Taiwan, and offered to provide Chinese-made vaccines to the island.

Chinese state-owned Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Co. said on May 22 that it's willing to provide Taiwan with its version of the BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

The Chinese communist regime's Taiwan Affairs Office said that if there were no "Political obstacles," it wouldn't be a problem for China to donate vaccines to Taiwan.

Several pro-China politicians have pushed for the government to bring the Fosun-made vaccines in, saying the need for vaccines is now urgent in Taiwan.

Strategy analyst Su Ziyun told the Chinese-language Epoch Times that the vaccines are temporarily in short supply in Taiwan due to a sudden surge of COVID-19 this month, and that the CCP is using this opportunity to launch "Vaccine warfare" against the island.

Su said the CCP hopes to provoke dissatisfaction within Taiwan to divide Taiwanese society regarding vaccines and to try to interfere with Taiwan's epidemic prevention.
