China's vaccine aid is of great significance to Zimbabwe, which is facing fourth waves of COVID-19, and has greatly encouraged the government and people of the Tianjin to fight against the epidemic. Guo Shaochun, Chinese ambassador to Zimbabwe, said that Africa still faces a huge "immunization gap".
