China has approved its first mRNA Covid-19 vaccine, developed by CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd. The vaccine is based on a technology considered among the most effective in the world and allows scientists to quickly modify shots to target new strains. China has long refused to use foreign-made mRNA shots, instead promoting its own pharmaceutical firms. The new vaccine comes as China tries to jump-start its economy and reopen its borders to foreign travelers. About 91% of people in China have had their first two shots of a Covid vaccine, according to the most recent data.
