    China Wanted to Show Off Its Vaccines. It’s Backfiring

    Many western nations have hogged the supplies. Something is better than nothing, so it's not as if many nations are choosing the Chinese vaccine - they don't have much of a choice. In some cases, the Chinese might be arm twisting them into taking Chinese vaccines.

    China Wanted to Show Off Its Vaccines. It’s Backfiring

    Not surprised. A Chinese vaccine, however well intentioned, doesn't come with any checks and balances.

    45 Chinese Soldiers Dead in LAC Clashes - Russian Media
