mRNA vaccines are still novel enough that proprietary information matters with respect to turnaround time.
Why did a huge company like Pfizer team up with a small one like BioNTech?
China does have at least a couple of mRNA vaccines (Walvax COVID-19 vaccine and CanSino Biologics Inc COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine), but it took them until 2021/2022 to get them to trials. They just didn't seem to have the experience in making and testing mRNA vaccines that Western companies did.
