hina stole Kamala Harris’s thunder in Vietnam with a surprise offer of 2 million COVID-19 vaccine doses to its maritime neighbour, eclipsing the 1 million dose offer the U.S. Vice President was to make in Hanoi after a three-hour delay caused by a security alert Wednesday.

Harris was on her way to Vietnam to announce the donation of additional doses of Pfizer vaccine when China sent its diplomat to meet Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh to pledge double that number, in a bold move to make clear China’s willingness to openly challenge and compete with the U.S for influence, The Washington Post reported.

While she sat 4 hours on a runway , China stole her thunder and offered Vietnam twice as many covid vac shots making her look the fool.

Yeah, but would Vietnam accept them? They don’t exactly get along, do they?

[lee martell]

Now it’s China’s turn to loudly Cackle!
Next time, don’t telegraph your move, Kam!

[Intar]

Problem?

[Chode]

yeah, no thx...

Buzz is she went over there to collect her payoff from China at a “neutral” site. She probably didn’t mind a little delay.

I don’t think Vietnam would trust China’s Wuhan Labs vaccine over pfizer but that’s just me.

It doesn't take China to make her look like a fool, she does that all on her own.

Yeah, but the sinovaxx sucks. Less than 50% efficacy
