Allegedly the Chinese pressured Ukraine that they would withhold vaccine deliveries to them

I mean with that fast of a U-turn this seems likely to be the truth

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.

Ukraine thought they were somebody, but then they realise in the end they were the clown.

From this you can also see one important thing: a lot of what US is doing is actually for internal reasons and not necessarily aimed at China. Surely if they were serious about standing up to China and human rights for Xinjiang the correct move here would have been to jump in here and offer Ukraine their own vaccine, yet they have not done that.

Hence it was at this point Ukraine realised, oh shit, I was the only one who took this Xinjiang thing seriously. Everyone else was just doing it for geopolitical reasons.

@Temstar bro my take, they're pissed off, this action is giving a middle finger to both EU and the US who betrayed them. They had anger their only savior China, now the Chinese had allied themselves with the Russian. So this Ukraine action is their owned without any pressure from the Chinese.

One of the Western diplomats called it sign of “bare-knuckles” diplomacy by China. The other diplomat cited “reports of significant pressure in Kyiv,” adding, “last night the delegation told us they needed to pull out.”

Surely if the west had simply given the necessary vaccines… this sort of thing wouldn’t happen… would it… it’s not like the west isn’t doing the exact same… you fall in line with western narrative or be a western ally or you don’t get shit… at least China is simply “asking” them to be neutral if you want something from us and not actually having to support and do things for it…

Yeah its not that strange actually. China has many customers ready to take its vaccines.

So why should China prioritize a hostile country instead of its friends and neutral countries?
