BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s foreign ministry said the vaccine would be used by the German diaspora after Germany’s chancellor recently said BioNTech’s COVID- diaspora.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning told reporters at a regular press conference on Friday that the relevant arrangements will be discussed and determined by the two sides through diplomatic channels.
On Nov. 4, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced an agreement during his visit to Beijing to allow expats in China to use COVID-19 Vaccine from BioNTech, Germany.
BioNTech’s COVID vaccine will be the first non-Chinese coronavirus vaccine to be administered in China, although, as Beijing has previously insisted, only domestically produced vaccines will be administered to German nationals.
