Vaccine diplomacy, the practice of using shots to enhance a country\u2019s regional ties and global status, provide nations like China the opportunity to flex their diplomatic muscles by using resources and development to their advantage. If vaccine diplomacy is a competition, then China is winning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The vaccines developed by China are an attractive alternative to many Western jabs. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-asia-china-55212787\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BBC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reports that unlike its Western alternatives from Moderna and Pfizer, both Sinovac and Sinopharm vaccines can be stored in a regular fridge and do not require extremely cold temperatures. Additionally, instead of using new and unproven mRNA vaccines, the Chinese shots are inactive vaccines, meaning that dead COVID-19 particles are injected into the body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, t<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">here are some concerns preventing countries from jumping on the China train. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignaffairs.com\/articles\/china\/2021-03-11\/vaccine-diplomacy-paying-china\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Foreign Affairs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reports that, unlike many Western vaccine alternatives, questions remain about the safety and effectiveness of the three Chinese vaccines currently in use. There is only limited information available from Phase 3 clinical trials, and results from trials in China and other countries have yielded disparate results. Disclosures from China are slow and spotty, with some even questioning the validity of the trials China released.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While China claims it is not using vaccine diplomacy, it has delivered \u201cvaccine aid\u201d to 53 countries and exported vaccines to 27 others, though in small amounts, says the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/china-vaccines-worldwide-0382aefa52c75b834fbaf6d869808f51\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Associated Press<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Countries ordering vaccines from China are classified as low- and middle-income. Mr. Guo Weimin, a spokesman for the C<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">hinese People\u2019s Political Consultative Conference, called claims that China is using its vaccines to \u201cexpand [their] geopolitical influence\u201d is \u201cnarrow-minded,\u201d reports <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-china-parliament-vaccine\/concerns-over-china-vaccine-diplomacy-narrow-minded-political-advisory-body-idUSKCN2AV0V6\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reuters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Chinese President Xi Jinping echoed this sentiment, promising to make his nation\u2019s vaccines a \u201cglobal public good.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/news\/china\/diplomacy\/article\/3124448\/chinas-two-sessions-beijing-promises-covid-19-vaccination\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">South China Morning Post<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reports that one facet of China\u2019s vaccine diplomacy includes a plan to vaccinate all nationals abroad and the implementation of a digital health passport. In addition to donating vaccines to other countries, China plans to set up vaccination stations and offer Chinese vaccinations in other countries. Analysts say these efforts are <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201caimed at improving China\u2019s image across the world.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The West, China, and Russia are fighting a battle for influence in Central Europe and the Balkans. It seems that in the meantime, China gained a leg up on the competition as Serbia and Hungary now depend largely on China\u2019s vaccines. According to an additional <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/china-vaccines-worldwide-0382aefa52c75b834fbaf6d869808f51\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Associated Press<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> report, Serbia was the first European country to use vaccinations from China, which purchased 1.5 million doses of the Sinopharm vaccine. Hungary followed in Serbia\u2019s footsteps, approving the Sinopharm vaccine after delays in shots from the European Union. China\u2019s aid fans the anti-EU flames that already burn strongly in these countries\u2019 populist leaders, who are outspoken against the EU.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/2021\/02\/16\/coronavirus-peru-china-vaccine-sinopharm-sinovac\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Washington Post<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, many developing and low-income countries are turning to China after being shut out of Western markets. Ms. Jennifer Huang Bouey, a China expert and epidemiologist, claims that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cCOVID can be a real game-changer for China.\u201d China has \u201cnever seen such large international demand for their pharmaceutical products,\u201d making this a prime opportunity to win over clients who desperately need aid in low-income countries. For China, which has historically seen little international interest in its pharmaceutical products, success with its vaccinations could now lead to profit later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">F<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">oreign Affairs says that China\u2019s vaccine diplomacy appears to focus on rehabilitating its global image, which took a hit following criticism the country received last year at the outbreak of the pandemic. Through the release of vaccinations, China \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">is looking to showcase its global health leadership to lower- and middle-income countries, where it is distributing vaccines.\u201d By offering vaccinations to countries that failed to receive the promised shots from the U.S. and other Western nations, China demonstrates its strength and value as an ally.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over a year after the world first felt the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, countless vaccines have been produced at record speed.
