China to provide COVID-19 vaccine globally – Xi
Chinese President Xi Jinping insisted on Tuesday that the coronavirus pandemic will be defeated and that humanity will beat the virus. “We should mobilize all our resources to contain the spread of the virus,” he said, adding that businesses and schools should be reopened to create jobs and boost the economy.
Speaking at the United Nations 4th Plenary meeting, Xi added that China intends to help developing countries to overcome troubles caused by the pandemic. He said there are several COVID-19 vaccine candidates in the final phase of testing in China, which will be provided to the rest of the world as the “global public good” as soon as they are approved.
“We must join hands and be prepared for even the worst global challenges,” Xi asserted, noting that China plans to pursue a multilateral trading regime. “We shall say no to unilateral protectionism,” he said.
