China seizes control of PPE factories, sparking fear of new coronavirus wave
Fox News ^ | May 20 2020 | Ebony Bowden, Heather Hauswirth | New York Post

China’s Communist Party is again seizing factory lines churning out the world’s supply of medical safety gear — sparking fears the country is preparing for a second wave of the coronavirus, American traders in China told The Post.

New Yorker Moshe Malamud, who has done business in China for over two decades, was moving tens of millions of pieces of protective gear to the U.S. at the height of the crisis but said suppliers in recent weeks had been overwhelmed with orders from the Chinese government.

“I was placing a larger order with one of the bigger distributors and he tells me, ‘I can complete this order but after this we’ve been contracted by the Chinese government to produce 250 million gowns,'” said Malamud, who lived in China for a decade before founding aviation company M2Jets.

It doesn’t matter if there is marginal factual data to support this...the top tier of the leadership believe a second wave will occur.

So figure about six weeks into the future....the same ‘belief’ will start up here in the US, and various governors will be chatter-boxes about the impending wave and the next shut-down.

I wonder if California’s billion dollar order for masks with a chinee company was affected?

China might be afraid of counterattacks. Wave after wave of superspreaders bombarding Chinese cities coming from victimized countries.

Its not a second wave in China, its still the 1st wave they covered up that is still spreading there. Its like a nursing home where no one can leave the country to give it to the rest of the world. Trump shutting down travel from that hell hole was a great move that I am sure Italy would have liked to have done in hine site.

Chiba is the issue of the election, because it is the issue of the last 30 years. For 30 years, they have been at war with us.

How about telling the Chinese to stick it and prioritizing other customers?

Of course, if he lives in China, that’s probably unwise.

California has received less than 2% of its masks so far, none of them N95. The manufacturer, who has never before made medical or PPE products, stopped shipment when the FDA announced they would be verifying compliance with NIOSH standards. Gee, I wonder why?

The Chinese will stamp whatever certification you want on a mask, though it has nothing to do with how it will perform...

It seems clear that we have been living in a “CCP first” world for a while now.

Chiba? What do you have against a pleasant prefecture in Japan? I lived there for six years in a previous life and mostly enjoyed it. It is famous for nashi, what we call Asian pears on this side of the pond.

[Chiba? What do you have against a pleasant prefecture in Japan?]


Maybe he’s referring to Sonny Chiba, who played Hattori Hanzo, the ninja chief and other similar characters, in the Shadow Warriors:

It’s not our balls, it’s our industry. We couldn’t build those aircraft carriers today because we don’t have the shipyards to build them.

But China does.

In WWII companies were mostly run by engineers. Since the introduction of massive amounts of college students with degrees but no experience, companies have been run by MBA’s.

Engineers run the company on intuition, guts and building a great product. MBA’s are concerned with the bottom line, bonuses and whatever will sell.

BTW, the way contracts are g awarded, with minority set-asides and gay outreach as the primary goals, building 100 carriers would bankrupt the nation.
