He stressed at the briefing that the Chinese authorities are firmly against the politicization of issues related to vaccines.

"These questions should not become the object of political interference, especially since they cannot be used for the purpose of political fabrications," the TASS diplomat is quoted as saying.

Earlier, Bon on the air of France 2 said that, according to Paris, the EU countries should not recognize the coronavirus vaccines produced in Russia and China.

He considers it necessary that in France be allowed access to drugs, "in the efficacy of which we are confident."

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called this statement a hybrid of racism, imperial hegemonism and neo-Nazism.

Deputy Speaker of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev, in an interview with RT, noted that Bon's statement contradicts the interests of citizens of France itself and other states of the European Union.

The Kremlin said that the Russian vaccine will be recognized in the EU if political, artificial reasons are removed on the way to its registration.
