News reports and information from government websites show 16 of the countries ahead of Canada are using shots from one of those three countries.

This week, China’s ambassador to Canada, Cong Peiwu, said his country always planned to help the world.

“China stated in the early stages that once vaccines were developed and deployed they will become a global public good, so we are just honouring our commitment to help people, especially in developing countries,” he said. “We know the virus knows no borders.” …
Guy Saint-Jacques, a senior fellow at the University of Alberta’s China Institute and a former Canadian ambassador to Beijing, said China is clearly using the vaccines to help its image.

Facing intense international pressure and criticism, the World Health Organization has abandoned plans to release a summary report of its investigation into the possible origin of the pandemic coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2.

Try to imagine what would happen if Donald Trump defended China’s genocide of the Uyghurs by putting it off on cultural differences, noting that it doesn’t make one country’s ways better than the other. I think that might become a major story, don’t you?
Regardless, the ties to China by Biden and his administration officials (or prospective officials) go far and wide. Sen. Ted Cruz, who opposes Becerra’s nomination, released a blistering thread yesterday afternoon in which he exposes many of the disturbing connections to the CCP.
Any traveler who flies into China can now be forced to undergo an anal swab to screen for COVID-19, according to new reports.
“China has made anal swab tests for the coronavirus mandatory for almost all international arrivals, deepening a row with other countries over a practice many have described as humiliating,” The Times of London reported.
