China sent an expert team and a large shipment of medical equipment to the United Kingdom on Saturday to help in the fight against COVID-19.
The team, sent from East China' Shandong province, comprises 15 experts and doctors who are specialists in disease control, traditional Chinese and Western medicine, psychology, nursing, and other fields.
In addition to conducting epidemiological investigation and epidemic prevention education in the UK, they will also participate in disease prevention and treatment work.
They brought with them up to 17.5 tons of medical supplies, including traditional Chinese medicine, personal protective equipment, epidemic prevention educational materials, and other equipment.
Liu Jiayi, Party chief of Shandong, went to the airport to see the team off and expressed thanks on behalf the provincial Party committee and the provincial government.
He said the team will introduce epidemic prevention and control knowledge and experience to people in the UK, especially Chinese overseas students, workers at Chinese-funded institutions and enterprises, and other overseas Chinese people.
He said the team also aims to "guide (people) to do scientific personal protection, ease tension and anxiety, and let them feel the warmth of their motherland and the care of the people in their motherland".
During an online conversation with the British Chamber of Commerce in China on Tuesday, Liu Xiaoming, China's ambassador to the UK, said China encourages collaboration between business, research institutions, and colleges from both nations on vaccine and drug development to fight against the disease.
"China and the UK are standing together," he said. "I firmly believe that the relationship between our two countries will emerge even stronger, and the friendship between our peoples will emerge deeper after we win this battle against the virus."
According to the latest UK government figures on Saturday, the number of people who died in the nation after being infected with the virus reached 1,019.
There are now 17,089 confirmed cases in the UK.
So Communism is going to save the world? Is that the next fake news from the media?
Half their equipment will be defective.
And they’re all probably already infected.

Yep on Facebook the liberals are praising China and blaming any bad behavior on Trump treating them badly.
If they give true aid that’s fine but being Red China, of course all these teams are embedded with spies.
I’m old enough to remember when we used to produce stuff too.
But I haven’t seen much evidence of that lately.
anyone accepting “help” from China is either already owned by them, or has a hole in their head
Well, Britain, I hope for your sake that China didn’t decide to personally bring you more of its bio-weapon.
The source is the CCP. Seriously, I give zero weight to this.
The Castro model of gaining influence by helping other nations medically.
“In addition to conducting epidemiological investigation and epidemic prevention education in the UK, they will also participate in disease prevention and treatment work.”
Oh yeah, the UK really needs third world assistance. . .
Richard Nixon “opened up” China so don’t be upset if 50 years later China is coming out into the world and doing business.
Compete against them and win, don’t make propaganda against them because its way too late for that.
The cat is out of the bag.
Please tell me this is not happening here. The UK is as mad as a hatter!
Warning, Will Robinson.
“Chinese team and equipment arrive in UK to support virus fight”
Tantamount to having Jack the Ripper look after the ladies in the bordello
The Chinese way to fight Coronavirus is easy. You isolate everyone in cities, withhold medical care, wait for the weak to die en masse, cremate the bodies and then put the survivor with herd immunity back to work.
That the easy peasy Chinese response in a nutshell.
Did they bring their bats (not baseball bats) with them?
Have some dignity. Any help is appreciated. Especially in light of no help at all from the critics.
‘Feel the warmth of their motherland’. Leftist, communist pibble drool. Meanwhile back in mother China they are razing churches for the warmth of christians.
