VIDEO: Chinese Woman Brags About Buying Truckloads of Facemasks from US Supermarkets. "It feels so awesome to buy all the masks! I didn't leave a single mask for the Americans!"

A viral video posted to Twitter shows a Chinese woman, who is married to an American man, gloating about buying up all the facemasks across several stores and US supermarkets.

The woman originally posted the video to Douyin–the Chinese equivalent of TikTok–where the woman expresses her contentment at buying all the masks with her compliant husband doing the heavy lifting.

The video was introduced to Twitter with the caption:”A Chinese woman proudly filmed herself buying huge amount of facemasks from multiple US supermarkets and loaded the masks onto her pickup truck.

“It feels so awesome to buy all the masks! I didn’t leave a single mask for the Americans!”

English subtitles added for everyone who would like to understand what she was saying in the video.

The line - "It feels so awesome to buy all the masks! I didn't leave a single mask for the Americans!" is the title of this video she posted.

In the translation, the woman reportedly said the following in the video:

“It’s so awesome, 3M masks now have 40 masks per pack. I am so happy, I keep finding masks even when the trailer is attached to my car, I can arrange more masks if I arrange properly.

“Yeah, I’m so happy–so, so, happy! Normally, we look for masks in the paint stores. This time, we went to another place and we found the masks! I am so happy!

“There are more, I will buy one more box.

“People outside the city area are nicer–thank you so much, you are so kind! (She says to an attendant.)

“They still don’t know about the purchase limit on masks. Let me pay and get out of here. I am sweating because I am scared.

“A full shopping cart, I bought all the masks. The shelves are empty; you can see my sweat. I feel hot, I am nervous; I feel like a thief.

“The people here don’t know I drove an hour and a half to central Florida. There are less Chinese here. They still don’t know about the masks.

“Once again, I successfully pay for the masks. It feels so nice. One more full shopping cart.

“The truck is full, I can only move the masks here.”

She later goes onto boast that what she had done was a “historical moment.”

Needless to say, the video stoked social media’s wrath drawing several negative comments over the woman’s selfish actions.

A social media user reportedly tracked down the person in the video. The person involved was reportedly booked for a domestic violence incident in 2018.

“While the act itself is contemptible, the way she and many other Chinese are displaying prides in achieving the “taking advantage of others” or “cheating the system” is just disgusting,” remarked a Tweeter.

One commenter reported that a New Yorker landed himself in trouble, mentioning: “A Brooklyn guy just got arrested for hoarding 80000 N95 masks. Selfish greedy people are trying to profit from other’s tragedy, regardless their race. Chinese got really disgusted by her behavior and exposed her.”

The act of buying in bulking for resale abroad has been highlighted by a number of social media posts originating in several western countries.

“They’re called #daigou and they do this to resell in Asia. They do this a lot with baby formula too,” posted one Twitter account.

"They're called #daigou and they do this to resell in Asia. They do this a lot with baby formula too.@laowhy86 and @serpentza both reported on this in January which is why I went to buy my stuff then too.

The daigou had already cleaned out Amazon in January."

But of course this whole story sounds like BS anyways

Never saw a supermarket sell N95 face masks, ever.

Maybe a deepfake video to stir things up. Maybe faked?

Yeah, let’s kick those bastards when they’re down.

And kick them again when they try to get up.

Knock it off. It’s a hoax with a mistranslation, probably intentional.

Yes. It’s a fake. The translation is wrong. She was getting some masks for herself and or her American family.

If she’s trying to kill us, why is it so much of a stretch that the Communist Party of China at least planned to kill us all?

A Freeper translation:


http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3830455/posts?page=13#13
[She says several times how happy she is to have bought so many masks. She mentions having driven 1.5 hours to central FL, where there are no Chinese (buying up masks), and people are very kind, and the locals don’t know the issue about face masks (then in China). Other things she says are here I am buying them, here I am putting them in my car, etc...

She does NOT say: “It feels so awesome to buy all the masks! I didn’t leave a single mask for the Americans!” Someone wrote that later on the video as it got forwarded. She also did NOT say she was going to ship them to China.

Someone in the comments mentioned its from January 2020, which makes sense. She’s native Chinese, now living in America. She knows what was happening at that time in China (everyone looking for masks as coronavirus took off in China) and she is very happy she’s able to get some for herself for preparation.

IMHO, she’s kind of stupid, a crowd-follower and panicky person (like many Chinese women I know, frankly). She’s bragging to her Chinese friends / viewers that she was able to get the masks and to have gotten ahead of the game. But she is not saying anything anti-American.]
