China will definitely make available COVID-19 vaccine accessible and available to developing countries. China is among the most advance countries in vaccine R&D, a senior Chinese diplomat observed in a talk show.

“We want to share and are working with UK, US and other countries in this regard,” Chinese Ambassador to the UK, Liu Xiaoming, responded at Sky News online live discussion on ‘The Pandemic: Our New World’ hosted by Dermot Murnghan. 

Ambassador Li said that he liked to share his views with the audience, stating that unity and cooperation will see the world through this pandemic and move forward. 

“China and the UK are partners in the fight against COVID-19,” he said adding that the cooperation between the two will benefit both the countries and the rest of the world. 

The CGTN, a Chinese news network, reported that fighting together, Chinese and UK scientists were working on game-changing coronavirus test kit. 

Regarding allegation that China might not tell the world about virus soon enough, Ambassador Liu made it clear that they had lost no time in informing the World Health Organization (WHO). 

“There was no cover-up and no delay to share information. China’s record is clean. It can stand the rest of time and history. We need to adopt a scientific approach about the origin of the virus,” he asserted.

On a question regarding situation in Hong Kong, Ambassador Li clarified that the national security legislation helped safeguard the high degree of autonomy in the Hong Kong SAR and the rights and freedom of the Hong Kong residents. 

“The UK politicians must recognize the fact that Hong Kong has returned to China, stop meddling in Hong Kong affairs in any form, and stop interfering in China’s internal affairs,” he suggested.
