China will allow foreigners to enter the country, but it has directed embassies around the world to only issue a visa if the traveler has gotten a COVID-19 vaccine that was made in China.
“It’s very much at the sharp end of vaccine diplomacy,” Nicholas Thomas, an associate professor in health security at the City University of Hong Kong, told CNN. “(It’s) essentially saying if you want to visit us, you need to take our vaccine.”
There has been no Chinese-made vaccine approved for human use in America, nor is there likely to be one anytime soon. China has created 5 different vaccines but none have been approved by the WHO. This is probably due to the fact that the Chinese government refuses to release the results of Stage 3 trials — a crucial requirement for vaccine approval in the U.S. and other western countries.
China’s main entry in the vaccine race — Sinovac — has an announced effectiveness of 78 percent against COVID. But Brazil actually conducted a Stage 3 trial and found it only 50.38 percent effective — far less effective than any other vaccine on the market.
Where does that leave the U.S., the UK, and other nations that have not approved a Chinese vaccine for use?
That means China can’t claim its preference for homegrown vaccines is due to them being superior to other vaccines. Instead, Thomas sees China’s new visa rules as a “power move,” which will pressure people to take one of China’s vaccines.
Sarah Chan, a reader in bioethics at the University of Edinburgh’s College of Medicine, says if someone’s livelihood depends on traveling to China for work, that could push them to take the vaccines, despite their lack of data.

Hahahahahah hah ... no....
Well, I wasn’t going to China anyway. Does China care about good business relationships with the rest of the world?
A BIDEN WIN IS AN AWARD TO CHINA FOR INVADING US USING COVID 19
Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.
Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.
Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.When they released it that was the CCP intention but it got away from them and went world wide and they should be made to pay
There was a compliment paid to the CCP by the Biden campaign for doing this when they admitted it helped in getting Biden elected MAKE EM PAY
That’s a game that can be played by two.
Hey China - we won’t be buying any product made by anyone who doesn’t have a Western vaccine. Nanner Nanner
Time to recall our embassy personnel and reject every visa from China. Stop all their UN personnel from entering. Ship all their students and scientists back.
What an evil civilization. Chinese and western civilization are incompatible.
They used to like the tourist trade. I guess they’ve moved on.
Yeah....no....
Dont stop the incompatible list just with China only.
Wait until countries start losing money due to a lack of tourism.
Still subject to anal swab testing, I presume?
The list is very long.
I had to look twice to make sure this wasn’t from The Babylon Bee.
Our government doesn't have the balls, and the Chamber of Commerce people wouldn't allow it.
Well why not. They gave us the flu. We must accept their “cure”.
Yes, but our current government in occupation would never do that. The Biden team would be more likely to say bend over and take it.
Biden is sure to order up a few hundred million doses. As well, China will likely pay him his cut of the profits.
