BEIJING, May 27 (Xinhua) A Chinese mainland spokesperson on Thursday denounced the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authority in Taiwan for suggesting the mainland impeded the island s purchase of COVID-19 vaccines produced by German pharmaceutical company BioNTech.
This accusation is fabricated out of thin air and once again reveals the DPP s tactic of shifting blame to the mainland, Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said at a press conference.
Zhu noted that, in March 2020, Shanghai-based Fosun Pharma inked an agreement with BioNTech for the research and development of BioNTech vaccines and the exclusive commercial rights and interests on the Chinese mainland and in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
Although it is now a foregone conclusion the island of Taiwan has been once again ruled out of this year s World Health Assembly (WHA) and will continue to be excluded in the foreseeable future if it does not return to the one-China principle, some organizations that have worked hard for Taiwan s accession still grumble bitterly.
