Here is the most recent article I've found about Russian development of Ebola vaccines (plural):

"And while these two potential vaccines are the farthest along, they aren't alone. Three others are in earlier development stages at U.S. companies, and "some vaccines are also in development in Russia," Kieny told a WHO news conference in Geneva on Tuesday. "So we are in contact with Russians to see when they could be available for testing in Africa, and what type of doses, in terms of quantity, could be available in the months to come."She says it's not clear whether the Russian scientists have already started safety testing in people."

I didn't quickly find references to Chinese development of Ebola vaccines, but they have a good biowar capability and were fully prepared to retaliate against the Soviets' bugs. Hundreds of IL-28 Beagles with red stars on their sides and wings, delivering bugs and nukes, would have flown both ways across the Soviet, Chinese and Mongolian borders had the Soviets and Chinese gotten into it during the 1970's and 19880's.
I am quite certain that the Chinese are working on their own Ebola vaccines. It's the responsible thing to do, and they have the means of doing so on their own as well as copying our vaccines.
The fuji compound is not a vaccine. It’s a small molecule that’s structurally similar to lamivudine and the brincindofovir compound being used in this country on confirmed ebola patients.
China is working on another small molecule as well:

China has 1.3B people. A vaccine for the entire population at only $50 a dose (bargain basement for a vaccine that will likely use GMO tech like the ones in testing in the US/Canada, Gardasil is $300+/treatment) would cost $70B+ to vaccinate the Chinese population.
I found this article on Russia’s ‘vaccines’:

If you read the actual ARTICLE though, it’s clear that this is NOT a vaccine, but is in fact another small molecule drug treatment:
“Triazavirin has been approved by the Russian Health Ministry, Petrov said. “Studies have confirmed the medicine’s high efficiency against a number of viral infections — influenza, tick-borne encephalitis and exotic viruses that are common in Africa and Asia,” the scientist said. Tests of Triazavirin have shown the vaccine’s high efficiency (70-90%) against various kinds of haemorrhagic fevers, including Marburg fever, which has a close relation to Ebola.”
I’m mystified as to why they’d call this obvious small molecule a ‘vaccine’ unless Russia’s journalists are as scientifically illiterate as ours:
This is the information on the Russian drug, it’s structurally similar to Ribavarin but with fewer side effects:

The reason I ask about specific reference to ‘vaccines’ is the dismal state of scientific literacy in our own journalist ‘elite’ that refer to ZMapp and the Tekmira treatment as ‘vaccines’ when they are no such thing. I am suspicious of reference to ‘vaccines’ particularly by ‘NPR’ when the only references I’ve seen are to small molecules by scientifically illiterate ‘journalism majors’ who understand nothing of the technology other than it involves a trip to the doctor...
