Compete for the low quality, even fake products... MadeInChina WuhanVirus COVID19

I think we are all learning something about cultural competence today. Is China embarrassed.. Is saving/losing face into this collective-minded corporate identifying culture? Is this behind the skewed 's reporting or was it disorganization & how can we take lessons forward?

什么情况

These Chinese companies care only about money, not the quality nor human lives could be saved with these medical supplies

Thanks to globalisation, deregulation, & privatization we destroyed our industrial base. In search of higher profits, & lower cost, we now depend on China, a communist state, that pays slave wages, practices unfair trade policies, & violates human rights. This must change soon.

It's not about chaos caused by surge of orders but fraudulence intentionally by both private companies & ChinaGov. Don't you aware of the Foreign Ministry of Chinazi keeping tease foreign countries to watch user manual before use or product description before purchasing❓

This is the real war The trade WAR

not in the same chaos as you are

🤢🤮you made me sick

This is how china wants to lead/control the world & eventually replace US on the international stage

it should be a bitter lesson for EU n US not to outsource medical goods to China One order is hijacked for a better price offered by another country Auction galore

Quality first, competition second!

Wake up world! CCP China is never your friend! It's been brainwashing its people and persecuting the dissident. It only wants this email money to use against you!

I am a Chinese, I don't trust products made in China.

Now Shanghai should be the busiest airport in the world. Various countries mainly transport medical supplies through Shanghai Airport.

Gee, wouldn’t it be great if America still made this stuff? 🤔
