China finally admits that it lost the vaccine war to India

In the race to vaccinate the world against the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, India is leading the way much to the chagrin of China as its attempts at coaxing countries to take the Chinese vaccine for Covid-19 are falling flat. Now, the Chinese Communist Party’s official propaganda outlet, Global Times appears to have accepted that China has lost the vaccine war to India.
In its article titled, “India faces challenges in supplying vaccines to the world: Experts,” Global Times insinuates that India is giving vaccines to its neighbourhood because it fears that China will do it and expand its diplomatic clout. However, this is just China’s way to explain its failures at vaccine diplomacy. The reality is that China’s vaccine is being soundly rejected, or accepted reluctantly even by its client states like Pakistan and Cambodia. China has put a lot of countries on its priority list promising them vaccines however, so far, it’s been a massive fail especially at a time when India’s grants have won hearts.
