Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 Vaccine Arrives in China as Beijing Makes Available Imported Vaccines for First Time
Epoch Times ^ | 04/14/2021 | Nicole Hao

The first batch of German-made Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine arrived in mainland China on April 13 and was made available to Chinese people for vaccination with a fee.

This is the first time that the Chinese regime allowed Chinese people to receive an imported COVID-19 vaccine.

The importer, Fosun Pharma from Shanghai China, ordered 100 million doses of the effective German-made COVID-19 vaccine for the mainland in December 2020. It’s unclear how many doses are available in this first batch.

The Chinese regime has approved five locally made vaccines for emergency use, and vaccinated people without charging a fee. At the same time, the regime ambitiously exports the vaccines to developing countries with its vaccine diplomacy agenda, such as forcing Taiwan’s allies to break away from supporting the island nation in exchange for vaccines.

On April 10, Chinese CDC director George Fu Gao admitted that the China-made vaccines “don’t have very high protection rates,” and suggested mixing different vaccines to boost efficacy.

Fosun Pharma always uses the name Comirnaty vaccine for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, and claims that it’s a BioNTech vaccine that was made in Germany, without mentioning Pfizer. Pfizer is an American company.

As the sole sales agent of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in the Greater China region, Fosun Pharma supplied and vaccinated people in Hong Kong and Macao.

By April 14, about 272,900 Hongkongers had received Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines, with 141,300 of them having received two doses, according to the Hong Kong regime. The Macao regime reported that it had received 149,175 doses of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine by April 13, without giving the number of people who were vaccinated with it.

For the mainland market, Fosun Pharma announced it had ordered no less than 100 million doses of Germany-made vaccines with a total contract value of 500 million euro ($600 million)

Does Germany and the rest of Europe already have all they need?

China should be dead last on the list to get anyone’s exports.

They only need a couple of hundred doses. After they have them they can copy them to their hearts’ content. They can buy 100 doses and manufacture a billion.

it’s a business decision by these companies. Willing sellers find willing buyers and agree on terms, such as pricing, timing, etc.
