Taiwan s accusations of vaccine obstruction groundless: Spokesman By ZHANG YI | chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2021-02-18 20:57 Share CLOSE
Taiwan s claim that the Chinese mainland obstructed it from buying COVID-19 vaccine products from a German company is groundless, said Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, on Thursday.
The island originally planned to order 5 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines from Germany s BioNTech, and the mainland obstructed it from signing the deal with the company, Chen Shih-chung, head of the island s epidemic command center, said recently. The island s claim is totally groundless and irresponsible, which once again exposes the unethical and bottomless political nature of some politicians from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party on Taiwan, Ma said.

Frequent flights by People s Liberation Army aircraft near Taiwan are a warning to foreign forces to stop interfering in China s internal affairs, Zhu Fenglian, a spokeswoman for the State Council s Taiwan Affairs Office, said on Wednesday.
The deployments resolutely safeguard China s sovereignty and territorial integrity and warn Taiwan independence secessionist forces to stop provocations, Zhu said when commenting on recent PLA Air Force drills in the Taiwan Straits. Only by doing so can we safeguard peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits, safeguard the common interests of compatriots on both sides and protect the prospect of peaceful reunification across the Straits, she said.
A mainland spokeswoman on Thursday expressed firm support for imposing sanctions on 28 individuals from the United States, including former secretary of state Mike Pompeo, who have behaved badly on the Taiwan question.
