What do you expect from that spineless hack. He only said that because of the large swathe of Indian-Canadians, Permanent residents that largely support the tea seller. Not to mention that Justin thought India was going to be able to fulfill it's moniker as the pharmacy of the world by being able to produce the vaccines for covid-19 to combat Chyna not the pandemic. In other words, this f..ng m..n decided to play politics even though he actually started very pragmatic with his approach to China. But because he's a liberal, a politician, he must kowtow and placate his howling base - the Canadian public - and plank the conservatives who are really busy screaming all the negative allegations we all are familiar with.

And since the Chinese - Canadians are largely expect to tow the line when it comes to the negative attacks with China because of the mantra, we don't hate the Chinese people, we only hate the See See Pee shtick. Not to mention that the majority of Chinese in Canada are too busy lining up to out compete their fellow white contemporaries as to who's more "Canadian" while some who have love and sympathy for the motherland can't voice their support due to professional, personal, and safety risks. I don't know how other folks that live in Canada sees their situation but what I wrote are based on my observations from my own anecdotal experience observing, sharing life experiences with some Chinese - Canadians both naturalized and Permanent residence a.k.a. future citizens.

Sikh Canadian has a powerful lobby in Canadian politics

Are Indians that influential in Canadian politic? If so, my sympathy. Just like the U.K. we have ethnic Indians as home Secretary and chancellor. Plus lots of junior ministerial posts. What's the common trait about all this is. That these ethnic Indians tends to put in extra shifts as a "white racist nationalist" to get on.

Yes, pretty sure Priti Patel would bleach herself if she thought it would make her whiter!

Check out the federal cabinets of Justin Trudeau and then you'll see what I mean.

You can hear the Americans breath a collective sigh of relief now that India is clearly the worst COVID hotspot in the world. The QUAD everybody. All hot air, "aspirational" talking-points, no substance.

According to VNExpress, Vietnam may receive up to 32 million doses of Pfizer vaccine by the end of 2021. It's not I'm skeptical about the report but to supply up to 30 millions to a single nation seems to be mission impossible for Pfizer, let alone they don't have plan to export vaccine yet.

U.S. pharmaceutical firm Pfizer may provide Vietnam with 30 million Covid-19 vaccine doses within 2021 as negotiations with the health ministry continue, Minister Nguyen Thanh Long said Wednesday.
Vietnam is still negotiating with manufacturers in the U.S., Russia and other countries as part of an effort to diversify Covid-19 vaccine sources, said Long. The country aims to obtain a total 150 million doses this year to cover 70 percent of its population.

Pfizer planned to increase its production to 3 billion doses annually. Therefore, it has subcontracted many firms to produce vaccines for it. Many supplies would be available after the summer. Beside, Pfizer would have delivered all the doses it promised the US and EU by late July or August so export should be possible. Brazil, Peru and Japan all have big contracts with Pfizer but delivery would not be picked up until August.

Its not clear if this is referring to Pfizer-BioNTech, or Fosun-BioNTech. BioNTech has separate ventures with Fosun to build plants in China, possibly the Shanghai or Shenzhen area, and another one in Singapore. This is going to be targeting the Asian market.
