The country’s Covid-19 vaccination campaign got off to a slow start. Now it’s trying to catch up with a medley of incentives and heavy-handed approaches.

"heavy-handed"

    This is the equivalent of saying "China is exhibiting poor form on its victory lap".

    They don't need the vaccine remotely as much as other countries do.

      They've got a much larger population to insulate and far more to lose if it goes unchecked.

      Of course, this is a country that built a brand new hospital in 19 days, or whatever. I trust their bureaucrats to execute on a plan far more than the clowns State-side.

        They can afford to take their time. They already demonstrated they can beat the pandemic without relying on vaccines.
