FILE - In this May 15, 2019, file photo, founder of Alibaba group Jack Ma arrives for the Tech for Good summit in Paris. As the coronavirus spread, the world’s richest communist dug into his deep pockets. Jack Ma, founder of e-commerce giant Alibaba Group and a member of the ruling Communist Party, helped to pay for 1,000 ventilators delivered to New York in April. Ma's foundation also is giving ventilators, masks and other supplies in Africa, Latin America and Asia.
That gives donors a chance to repair China’s image and gain credit with President Xi Jinping’s government, which faces criticism its secrecy and delay in responding to the virus that emerged in central China in December made the outbreak worse. American companies including Walmart Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. have given medical supplies and money in Africa, India and Latin America. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey promised $1 billion and has announced donations in Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the United States. Cisco Systems Inc. donated to the World Health Organization and the United Nations.
The European Union’s foreign minister, Josep Borrell, wrote in March there was a “struggle for influence” under way through the “politics of generosity.” Jack Ma’s foundation has promised supplies to all 54 African countries including 500 ventilators, 200,000 protective suits and 500,000 gloves.
This guy donated $15 million ,Jack Dorsey donated $1 billion,
Like the arson bringing pails of water to douse a 3 alarm fire.
It’s all crap they are donating! Screw them
It's clear that AP is a shill for communist China that killed 100s of 1000s of people after spreading coronavirus, utilizing WHO as a propaganda mouthpiece to cover for its murders after they stockpiled PPE prior to sending infected people from Wuhan throughout the world COVID
ALL Chinese products should be BOYCOTTED now and forever. FUCK CHINA!
More like reparations for all the world wide deaths they have caused.
How much did the CCP pay you for this article?
They would really do a favor to the world if they kicked the CCP out, but of course, they have that mafia embeded in them.
AmericaStrong VoteRedToSaveAmerica2020
I remember when we used to speculate that Norton developed viruses to create demand for its products.
Chinese propaganda, thanks for posting EnemyOfThePeople
Are you totally out of your freaking mind spreading china lies. China saw the virus. China bought up all supplies they could. China sells supplies back to the natios they bought them from for a 400% markup. They are as much humanitarian as you are real journalists and you are not
You mean the ones that’s caused it the pandemic are trying to help those they infected ? Don’t twist it
They are also funding anti Trump movements here
dakekang Trojan horses ...
'China launches global Public Relations campaign of absolute subterfuge, immediately following creating a world-wide health crisis which has almost certainly been intentional to artificially impact western economies and are gearing up for war'
农夫与蛇，农夫没有毒，蛇有。
Their guilt is unbearable!
'Humanitarian'? Is this a joke? China hid the severity, spread disinformation and made other countries pay for its 'help'. CCPChina ChinaLiedPeopleDied StandUp4HumanRights
7.2 million people have been infected by WuhanVirus more than 408 thousands deaths worldwide and the number is keep growing. We shall not forget China hid the outbreak’s severity and spread disinformation. ChinaLiedPeopleDied ChinaMustPay DecoupleChina MilkTeaAlliance
yet still not as much humanitarian aid as Taiwan TaiwanCanHelp
Creating a dependency on China. Can’t see how thAt could go wrong...
That’s called soft power.
What about their racist attack on blacks... SMH !!! A country piled up with extreme human right oppression and disgusting racism.
I insist no one cares one bit.
They hate the world. True supremacists.
Donors? The chinese government have to pay for everyone's damage. I hate the CCP I am Asian American
They are trying to save their reputation they should do more compemsate for their negligence
🍊(45) is the REAL ENEMY of the people! 🍊 is to BLAME for ALL the DESTRUCTION/CRISES in this country (SPREAD of CORONA, RACISM, looting etc)! REMEMBER Election Day Nov 2020 (IF this country still exists in November)! FOCUS ALL of your energy /efforts on ...THE ENEMY 🍊!
they supplied virus too
Donation with fake products. Hilarious
After they stripped other countries like Australia bare
AP = CDC propaganda machine MSMIsTheEnemyOfThePeople
The USA will now be more infuriating😅
I’m no journalistic editor but you should probably underline the word “debut” here and focus the story on that specifically
USA killed 50 million people around the World w/ the 1918 Flu Pandemic. But the US can't take the blame for anything, so we called it the Spanish Flu & actually we made SARS VLP in North Carolina. Not China. There will never be peace. What would everyone do with all their hate?
USA under Trump doing nothing with exception he always being accusatory toward China with ungrounded insult and instigation!
lol ppl in the comment sections wishing ppl should just die from the virus and let the rich keep their money.
They spread the virus exactly so they could play this role and expand their influence.
Wtf...
Let's get this strait. There are Capitalistic businesses in China that are donating supplies to help the Free World, and then there is the Chinese Communist Party lying like drunken pirates. There is a fundamental and significant difference. Collectivism=bad, Capitalism=good!
Uh, AP, you okay? Do they have you? Blink twice if you're a hostage. Blink four times if they're forcing you to do their PR work uncritically.
Private entrepreneurs in China are not only for the benefit, they must also have social responsibilities and obligations!
Yeah they have been donors of the virus ChineseCommunistParty
Wow. That’s absurd nonsense. Propaganda.
Just PR, Chinese organizations promise a lot but they never deliver. They are using the stupidity of liberal media that thinks if something was promised it is already done. Just free pozitive press made by 'usefull idiots', the term communist propaganda is using for them.
Too bad it’s all fake & doesn’t work.
Xie xie AP
It is naive if AP believe that all of those selective donations are not backed by CCP behind the scenes.
Why are people still blinded by this diversionary tactic? 🙄
The chinese are bent on world domination and are achieving this by investing in projects that make them look as though that are humanitarians.
..N FACT washingtonpost it is HAVING adverse reactions amongst WORKING ppl both -all INCLUSIVE black white & brown ppl n that these YOUNGINS can tear shit down & get 'heard' but the 1s w/ a STAKE in society get shuffled = IT IS BACKFIRING =TRUST ME JoeBiden DNC SpeakerPelosi
Isso é o mesmo que eu dar um tiro em alguém e depois te dar uma aspirina.
Sounds like propaganda. Frick the CCP! StandWithHongKong
What's the benefit of owning almost all the mainstream media? Your country will be glorified by hijacking medical supplies, another country could be blamed for helping other countries.
Casa Branca/EUA monitorea el coronavirus y proyecta más de 165 mil muertes en Brasil hasta agosto y 5,000 muertes en un solo día a principios de ese mes. No revelar el número de muertes e infectados es ocultar el genocidio. ForaBolsonaro Somos70PorCento
You mean the CCP is doing it for its propaganda purposes? You do realize all those Chinese companies are State own don’t you ?
BewareChineseBearingGifts ButchersRuleBeijing
Hope Xi sees this bro.
Don’t believe the numbers.
Looks like you’re spreading Chinese propaganda.
Hey I don’t know if people realize yet but fuck china.
I break your knees and get rewarded for performing the surgery? Sounds like a Communist to me.
Forget China, nobody likes them right? How about them Amazon, Apple, Walmart.. They are rich AF but did little to help other countries, in which some have contributed to their wealth.
It's a trap
While this seems noble, why? So we forget who started this whole thing?! No, thanks. Donate all u want, which ya should, but I ain’t buying it!!
Trying to buy goodwill won't work. Like the US, China already has a negative image and reputation on the world stage, and it's not going away anytime soon.
China should ask for forgiveness for spreading it
AP the China shills
This is soft power that maga cultists have abandon for fake victimhood.
Could this be a Chinese monopoly?
Smart strategy; if you want to become new premier gloabel leader.
The CCP thanks you for your public service announcement on their behalf
Wow, don’t take the bait.
So just in case you've survived this far by not touching anything contaminated by China's bioweapon WuhanVirus, then here...touch this stuff! Thanks no thanks. StopChinaNow
Holy bananas that man's head is the strangest shape
Great - they release this wirus from a lab, effect the global economy negatively, and get rewarded. buylocal
This is China using the backdoor to pacify the world
What I want to know is how close are we to a vaccine? coronavirus COVID19
