Recent Chinese media reports revealed that Beijing was seeking to export COVID-19 vaccines at extremely low prices, while selling them at considerably higher rates—more than 22.5 times in one case—inside China.
As countries race toward developing a safe vaccine, the Chinese regime has aggressively pushed for Chinese manufacturers to export their doses to foreign countries.
One Chinese drug company said it would sell the vaccine to Brazil for around $2 per dose. But in interviews with Chinese media, the company’s CEO said it would sell the vaccine at 300 yuan (about $44) per dose in China.
The $2 per dose is lower than other global manufacturers’ pricing.
Chinese authorities have publicly encouraged Chinese drug companies to export their developed vaccines.
U.S.-based China affairs commentator Tang Jingyuan said Beijing seeks to dominate the global market with cheap vaccines so that it could build its image as a global savior in fighting the pandemic.
“It wants to show the world that a totalitarian ruling system is more effective,” Tang said.
The Chinese regime also wants to influence other countries into supporting its agenda. “It’s likely to get underdeveloped countries to rely on its vaccines, then these countries would support it at the United Nations and other international organizations,” Tang said.
On Aug. 5, Johnson & Johnson announced that it reached an agreement with the U.S. government to supply 100 million doses of its investigational vaccine, Ad26.COV2.S, after it gets approval from the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). The U.S. government is funding the manufacturing costs and will offer the vaccine on a “not-for-profit” basis at $10 per dose.
Another U.S. pharma giant, Moderna, said in August that smaller volume agreements for the company’s experimental vaccine will be priced in the range of $32 to $37 per dose.

We should buy NOTHING from China.
RE: We should buy NOTHING from China.
Including iPhones and PC’s?
Seems quite a lot, like what American drug firms do, with our entire drug supply.
Make stuff in China, sell it in America for far, far too much.
Just saying.
Create the virus then sell the vaccine. Communist Capitalism at its finest.
Create a disease and then get rich by selling the cure for it. How clever!
I will PASS on a vaccine marketed by the folks who created the virus themselves...no thanks.
I’m sure people will stand in line to get a vaccine from the same country that gave them the virus!
I ain’t takin’ no Red Ching Chong Ding Dong vaccine. I can wait. Probably be safer just to get Woo Floo.
No thanks. First, you create this horrible disease in a lab, killing at least a million innocent people. Then you want to make money off this! Take your vaccine and stick it where the sun don’t shine, and put the needles in your eyes, you putrid pieces of garbage.
The Wuhan virus came out of a lab that does vaccine research.
Probably had the vaccine before they released the virus.
So China released a killer virus on the world and now it wants to sell a Vaccine for it. I don’t think so.
There is a Far Side cartoon appropriate for nearly anything under the sun...:)
You can't have it both ways. Either you believe that China is an enemy whose long-term plan is to destroy or neuter us, or you don't. If you believe the former, then no, you don't make iPhones or PCs there.
You betcha!
Bingo.
There was an early bunch of ‘Americans’ who sold out our entire manufacturing base.
Kept 49% for their own, but exported the entire thing to China.
That is what we now have.
A narrow population, who are getting RICH from America.
By having sold us out.
“Beijing Seeks to Aggressively Export Its COVID-19 Vaccines at Cheap Prices”

Of course they had the vaccine before they released the virus.. How else could they have protected the DS & themselves.
