The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council slammed rumors that the Chinese mainland pressured German Biotech company BioNTech (BNT) not to sell COVID-19 vaccines to the island, saying that the Taiwan authorities complaint of a so-called difficult situation is untenable and results from its own anti-mainland political maneuvers.
The allegation of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authority is totally fabricated and false, which once again exposed the bottomless political nature of some DPP politicians, said Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, at a press conference on Thursday.
