China is experiencing a gold rush for surgical masks — more than 38,000 companies registered in 2020 to make or trade face masks. But mask quality and scams are now issues.

China's boom isn't just for masks, but they make up a big part of it since they are a relatively easy commodity to make — they can be produced quickly, and factories can turn a profit after two weeks' production, according to the South China Morning Post. This led to factories that make things like golf balls, vape pens, or car parts to turn to mask production for now.

David Sun, who runs a logistics company in Yiwu, but used his export license to trade medical supplies during the pandemic, told the South China Morning Post: "mask machines are like cash printers" and "many factories manufacturing while waiting for a production license."The deluge of new companies, and the wild-west way of operating, has led to problems with quality.

Harris also said someone offered him $50,000 for his list of mask stockists, but he refused, saying it was unethical to provide it, and his firm would have lost its bar license. Fabien Gaussorgues, co-founder of Sofeast, a quality control inspection company in Shenzhen, told the South China Morning Post: "This is the Wild West – the rules are being rewritten every day."Do you have a personal experience with the coronavirus you'd like to share?
