Magnus Nicolin, the head of surgical glove and body suit manufacturer Ansell, has lashed out at Chinese companies which he says have substantially lifted the prices of protective masks during the COVID-19 crisis.
The straight-talking CEO also hit out at some European Union countries where he said authorities had seized PPE shipments and redirected them. "The Czech Republic took some shipments of masks intended for Italy. And they just commanded it and put it into the Czech hospital system. France did something similar today with a Swedish shipment from China," he said.The Ansell CEO also expressed concern that suppliers of raw materials and components could be impacted by the coronavirus crisis, "threatening continued output of our protective products crucial to managing the pandemic and keeping workers safe".
it’s driven by demand mate
Go get it made by a non Chinese company.
What are we learning re future-proofing post Covid-19?; eg will we stop our reliance on China for products & capital?; will we place stringent requirements on Chinese travellers noting SARS, MERS, and Covid-19 all stem from cultural/culinary practices?
first China gives us WuhanVirus then they make plenty of cash from it auspol
Outrageous, it’s like fuel prices going up before Easter holidays and the unions going on strike at airports just before Christmas each year.
It’s poetry in motion. The country responsible for the epidemic is profiting from sending (faulty) medical supplies to the world it screwed over.
If there’s anyone who understands what it’s like being screwed, it’s Ansell.
We should stop buying from China as much as possible. If all the world followed suit, China would feel the pinch. How dare they try and profit from us after infecting the whole world. Shame on them 🤬BoycottChina boycott ChinaMustPay ChineseBioterrorism cvoid19 coronavirus
