Ramping up production was a problem in the beginning but now it should not be a problem to produce enough shots to supply China. Even a single shot mRNA would improve immunity by a lot when combined with other vaccines. If China had ordered it in 2020 they would have received multiple doses per person by now.

I have no idea why mRNA failed in China.

Classic case of "not invented here" syndrome?

That surely played a part. But by now there would have been enough time to admit defeat and just order some from Europe.

You do realize you are talking about CCP admitting defeat? Should be obvious why it hasn’t happened.
