[Gift recipients don’t complain in the same manner that customers do. Customers need to be satisfied to get repeat orders.]


I read somewhere that the Chinese shipment to Italy was a purchase. This may be the same thing. There’s certainly nothing in the article to indicate this was a gift.

I interpreted “sends” to mean gift, which I agree isn’t necessarily indicative. “Sells” would have removed all doubt, as would have “buys from.”

There have been a number gifts associated with this virus, in particular gifts to the US of hydroxychloroquine from a couple of companies (Bayer and Teva...or maybe Mylan). So that is why I took “send” to involve gifting.
