//China pressured Ukraine into withdrawing its support for a call for more scrutiny of human rights in China’s western region of Xinjiang by threatening to withhold Chinese-made COVID-19 vaccines destined for Ukraine unless it did so, diplomats told The Associated Press on Friday, June 15, 2021.

Ukraine briefly joined a statement by over 40 countries, presented by Canada at the Human Rights Council in Geneva on Tuesday, urging China to allow immediate access for independent observers to Xinjiang. Some human rights groups have alleged Chinese mistreatment of Muslim Uyghurs and others in the region.

On Thursday, Ukraine pulled its name off the list of supporting states after Chinese authorities warned Kyiv that they would block a planned shipment of at least 500,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines to Ukraine unless it did so, said diplomats from two Western countries. The diplomats spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

Ukraine has agreed to purchase 1.9 million doses of CoronaVac vaccine from China’s Sinovac Biotech. As of early May, Ukraine had received 1.2 million doses, according to Health Minister Maxim Stepanov.

In the past, China’s government has been no stranger to pressuring other countries in Geneva diplomatic circles or in national capitals either to line up behind its statements or avoid backing statements that criticize, question or seek scrutiny of human rights in the country...//

AIT confirms additional donation of 2.5 million doses of Moderna vaccine to Taiwan

The American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) confirmed that the United States would be donating 2.5 million doses of the Moderna vaccine to Taiwan, a significant increase from the 750,000 doses announced during a visit by three U.S. senators to Taipei. The vaccine is expected to arrive in Taiwan on Saturday U.S. time, the AIT said, adding that the vaccine donation demonstrates the U.S. commitment to Taiwan as ’a trusted friend and a member of the international family of democracy.’

A spokesperson for the Presidential Office of Taiwan responded last night (19th), stating that Taiwan’s representative to the United States, Bi-khim Hsiao, had received the vaccines at Memphis Airport in Tennessee on behalf of the government and that they were expected to arrive in Taiwan on Sunday (20th).

The spokesperson said that President Tsai Ing-wen once again expressed her sincere gratitude to President Biden and the U.S. government for their strong support of Taiwan by significantly increasing the original 750,000 doses of vaccine announced on the 6th to 2.5 million doses, demonstrating the U.S. government’s concrete actions in support of Taiwan’s efforts to combat the challenge of this outbreak. The spokesperson added that the U.S. government’s timely outreach is a testament to the rock-solid friendship between Taiwan and the United States.

China threatens to withhold vaccines, pressuring Ukraine to withdraw its support for Xinjiang investigation.

The Associated Press (AP) reports that Ukraine is pressured by China, which threaten to withhold COVID-19 vaccines from exported there, to withdraw from a statement by the UN Human Rights Council on sending independent observers to Xinjiang to investigate human rights issue. China welcomes the decision and said it reflects the spirit of independence.

Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations issued a statement at the UN Human Rights Council last Tuesday (22 June) on behalf of more than 40 countries, including Ukraine, urging China to allow immediate access for independent observers to Xinjiang. China warned that it would block at least 500,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines shipment to Ukraine unless it pulled out from the statement, according to the Associated Press. Ukraine withdrew from the statement on Thursday, and AP received written response from China saying that its “provision of vaccines and anti-epidemic materials to other countries is not meant to gain benefits from other countries and there isn’t any geopolitical purpose nor any political conditions attached.”
