Zhang said he was very clear that he did not want to be immunized. “I am not informed. I do not consent,” he says he told the authorities. But they held down his arms and legs and forcibly injected him.

That is an op-ed based on something the author of the story saw posted on social media. There was no fact-checking done - and none needed because it was an opinion piece. You can tell it was an opinion piece because right at the top of the story is the word "Opinion."
If this had actually happened, then yes it would've been horrible. But there is no evidence that it actually happened. There isn't even any reference to WHICH social media venue the author found their information from.
In this op-ed, the author goes on to say that the government of China promoted an 80% vaccination rate. That is true, from various sources easily found with a simple google search. But equally true is the Beijing mandate only lasted two days and was eliminated basically due to lack of interest (it's more complicated than that, but that's the tl;dr version).
All references to Jhang Jianping's "experience" are sourced with this singular op-ed piece.
