Taiwan says Beijing blocked deal for BioNTech jabs

Taipei directly accused Beijing for the first time on Wednesday of blocking a deal with Germany's BioNTech for Covid-19 vaccines.Taiwan has millions of vaccine doses on order, from AstraZeneca and Moderna, but has received only slightly more than 700,000 to date, and has only been able to vaccinate about 1% of its population as cases surge.While Taiwan has previously said it had been unable to sign a final contract with BioNTech, it had only implied that pressure from Beijing was to blame.In comments at a meeting of Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party, President Tsai Ing-wen said they had "smoothly" booked orders for the AstraZeneca and Moderna shots."As for Germany's BioNTech, we were close to completing the contract with the original German plant, but because of China's intervention, up to now there's been no way to complete it," she said.BioNTech said earlier that it could not comment on potential or ongoing discussions on providing vaccines."It goes without saying that it is BioNTech's goal to provide access to our vaccine to as many people worldwide as possible," the company said.Beijing has repeatedly denied trying to block vaccines for Taiwan and has offered to provide them itself as a gesture of goodwill.China's Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Group said on Saturday that it was willing to provide Taiwan with BioNTech vaccines.Fosun signed a deal with BioNTech to exclusively develop and commercialise Covid-19 vaccine products developed using BioNTech's mRNA technology in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.Beijing has accused Taipei of putting up political obstacles over the vaccine offer.

Brinken issued a statement through the State Department on Friday, issues such as global public health security are not restriction by national boundaries and political disputes. Taiwan provided valuable contribution and experiences when dealing with COVID-19, WHO leaders and those responsible countries should be realised, if they continue to exclude Taiwan’s 24 million people from the World Health Assembly will only threaten rather than promote global health goals.

The most famous Chinese cyberattacks
 
Cyberattacks have become a well-polished weapon in China’s armoury over the past decade. 

Used as methods of espionage, state-sponsored data breaches and server hacks pose a significant threat to global security and public safety. And far-reaching attacks have established China as “one of the world’s pre-eminent cyber players”, says cybersecurity firm IronNet.

Cybercrime worldwide has risen by 600% during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to research published by business insurance company Embroker.

Xinjiang: Joe Biden to urge G7 to act on China’s use of forced labour

The United States will urge its Group of Seven (G7) allies to increase pressure on China over the use of forced labour in its northwestern Xinjiang province, home to the Muslim Uygur minority, a top White House official said on Friday.

 US President Joe Biden will attend a meeting of the G7 advanced economies in person in Britain in June, where he is expected to focus on what he sees as a strategic rivalry between democracies and autocratic states, particularly China.
