Did China develop their own vaccine, or are they buying doses of pfizer/moderna/oxford to donate? It would be a be a big deal if someone could put out a patent-free vaccine like Oxford was planning before the Gates foundation stepped in.

China has vaccines made by SinoVac and CanSino. Their vaccines have lower reported percent effectiveness compared to what Pfizer or Moderna report, and IIRC use more traditional vaccination pathways compared to the RNA vaccines, but hey, more players in the game is good, and China does plan on donating a lot of them primarily to developing countries.
