COVID-19: China says it has sold nearly four billion masks abroad
the Jakarta Post ^ | Mon, April 6, 2020 | Agence France-Presse

China has sold nearly four billion masks to foreign countries since March, officials said Sunday, as they tried to stem widespread fears over the quality of medical exports.

Despite Chinese cases dwindling, Beijing has encouraged factories to increase production of medical supplies as the pandemic kills over 60,000 globally and parts of the world face a protective equipment shortage.

China has exported 3.86 billion masks, 37.5 million pieces of protective clothing, 16,000 ventilators and 2.84 million COVID-19 testing kits since March 1, customs official Jin Hai said, with orders to more than 50 countries.

She added the country's medical supply exports were valued at 10.2 billion yuan (US$1.4 billion).

16,000 ventilators since March 1.

Great appeal for Cuomo, the greatest ventilator hoarder.

My wife was had one of her elderly folk’s homes that she cares for. They were looking at the stuff in the back yard. The Chinese neighbors were in their back yard, so my wife said hi.

“Hi. Nice to meet you!”

“We neighbors!”

“Hi - are you new here?”

“No - five year now! Mask?”

“Oh that’s okay - you don’t need to wear a mask, we’re far enough apart.”

“No - you mask?”

“Oh - you think we should be wearing masks?”

“No - we masks - you have?”

“Um, no, we don’t need any masks. Thank you.”

I told my wife - five years they have lived in the states and that’s the best they could do with English!? And they probably had a garage-full of masks and would have sold you one for $25.

Exactly! I only discovered this yesterday after watching a Bill Whittle podcast. If I can possibly help it, I will NEVER buy another "Made in China" piece of garbage in my life. These people deserve the ultimate financial punishment.

My wife has made over a hundred.

Foreigners especially Asians speak their native language at home. It’s better for the kids to learn a good foreign language than a bad version of English.
