'Yesterday, I helped to coordinate the medical supplies to be transported to the hospitals. Before the traffic police was clearly sure whether we could be discharged according to the new restriction of vehicles in Wuhan (editor’s note: since 26 Jan, Wuhan has implemented a 'restriction of vehicles', banning all means of transport except for the permitted logistical vehicles), a friend of mine had sent all the supplies to the hospital hurriedly.
After completing the task, I quit the group. Later I found out they (group members) had a fight. The supplies were all taken by the cadres. The medical practitioners could not get anything.
What I could do is just to ask the related people for this matter to move on after lodging a complaint. After complaining, we should reserve our strength for something else. I realised later on that it was not the only case. I have attached some screencaps, showing someone who had also encountered similar issues, and I don't know them.
I have asked my friend to report on this case already. I speak up because I hope there would be an improvement on the overall planning and the distribution of supplies. The collaboration among the people should be just a matter of expediency. I hope these chaotic situations are just temporary before heading to the right track. It is understood that the senior staff members do have a need on the supplies, but we would like to put the frontline medical practitioners as our first priority. If the management do not set a good example, things might be fallen into the "Tacitus Trap", which would be a big trouble.'
'The protective suits of our hospital had been expired. The seniors said it’s okay, the expired suits could still be used.
Comment: It is very common. Also, some doctors would wear adult nappies to prevent the need of changing protective suits after going to the toilet. I have seen donations of nappies to the doctors. It is hard to imagine how the female doctors could survive through their menstruation.
Comment: Yes, I heard that some stocks were from 2003 when SARS happened.”

'That’s sick. On the registration form of the "collection of masks of different departments", the number of masks taken by the administration departments is much higher than that of the clinical departments. Some people from the executive departments even complained in IM groups that they were denied for requests to get extra masks for their families. And often seen in such groups are some photos with management members wearing N95 masks when visiting the doctors and nurses in the hospitals in surgical masks only. Shame on them.
Comment: Bureaucracy is such a monster.
Comment: Haha. Don't know if I ask people at Douban (a Chinese social platform) to donate masks to hospitals whether there will any response. I'd better not ask, as I have no clue how many of the donated masks could be used by the frontline staff of the hospital.
Comment: It’s a structural problem ”

'It is the same for Wuhan Hospital No.5. Individual donation is not allowed. Those who receive donations privately would be permanently suspended. All the donations of preventive supplies were taken by the hospital, but nothing was disseminated to any the frontline medical practitioners. I am so angry, together with my friends, we have reported the case.
Comment: That’s the most terrifying issue. The so-called "improvement" is just to "forbid doctors to receive donations individually, otheriwse there shall be punishment". However, the doctors couldn’t receive any supplies eventually. How could it be?
Comment: Then they should accept the donated protective gears. If the hospital dare to suspend the doctors, there would be nobody to work anymore.'

A black hole above Hubei
GreenPlumCooksPumpkin 31 Jan, 10:42
Protective equipments aren’t available on the market across the country, as all factories are speeding up manufacturing production for Hubei. They aren’t available around the world, too, as ethnic Chinese have purchased them all to deliver to Hubei. But medical staff in Hubei don’t have protective equipments, too, as well as medical staff across China. Is there a black hole above Hubei?

This is also the biggest question I have as I read the news these few days. On the one hand, the frontline staff have run out of supplies. On the other hand, there is this encouraging news that generous help is coming from everywhere. But where are the promised supplies?
>BlackLinePrincess
This is no different from the vegetables incident in Shouguang. The Shandong province says the vegetables have been delivered, but Hubei says they haven’t been received. It is a mystery to where they have gone. Of course, we all know where they have been sent to now. So, if the Hubei government doesn’t say to where the other supplies have gone, there is no point for us in asking.

Out of control local governments across China grabbing medical supplies from armoured vehicles 1/5
(8 Feb) In the past two days, information was widely circulating on the Internet that provincial and municipal governments in China are snatching surgical masks from each other. “Robbery notices” stamped with official seals of the corresponding local governments are issued to the affected parties. Using armoured vehicles and riot police to transport the masks is not at all an overstatement. The robbing side, a local government, will dispatch tens of dozens of police vehicles to raid the shipment, ignoring dispatch documents issued by the State Council. No one cares where the goods should be shipped. The epidemic is completely out of control and Beijing is gradually losing its control of the various regions.

China raises export requirements for medical supplies. Over 1 million RMB worth of PPE delayed at customs.
Ministry of Commerce researcher states, "This is in answer foreign intentions. We will see the consequences in the EU and US in a week"
(1 Apr) China's medical supplies exports received international criticism for its low quality. The Ministry of Commerce reacted by increasing the requirements for export. Starting from 1 April, all businesses must obtain registration certificates for exporting medical supplies. This includes testing kits and face masks.
Compared to previous requirements of only obtaining FDA certification from the US or CE certification from the EU, the new conditions for export are more stringent.
A businessman who manufactures PPE in Shandong said that he has over 1 mil RMB worth of PPE currently held in customs. He expects the inspection report to take 10 to 15 days, after which he can ship the goods. However, it will have already violated some terms in the contracts between him and his foreign buyers.
He believes that due to the previous lack of monitoring and quality control, the government is now responding to international criticism with the new rules, "We (China) used to export to America and Europe with FDA and CE (certifications). But after obtaining these certifications, some manufacturers went on to create products below certification standards."
Mei Xinyu, a Ministry of Commerce researcher, stressed that raising export requirements was in answer to international intentions and a self-defence mechanism. "You [US and EU] did not use our products according to instructions. Without even checking them yourselves, you blame Chinese products for everything. We want to use China’s production capability to save lives and do good. We have no interest in being smeared for helping others. Per your request, we are tightening our controls (to export requirements)."
He added, "In a week, let's see what consequences you people in the EU and US will face for airing your troublesome opinions. The Chinese government puts the lives of Chinese people first. Yet, in the EU and US, politicians, media and public opinion simply disregard the lives of their people. Then, you want to talk about human rights issues in China. Just shut your mouths!"

Swedish media used full-page "Xi Jinping virus" to diss China
(3 Apr) [International Center/Comprehensive Report] The pandemic of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China has swept the world. However, China, as the source of the pandemic, has controlled the spread of the virus. This allows China to start the propaganda agenda, provide various medical supplies, and even begin to smear other countries as being the cause of the virus. These moves angered many countries. The Swedish paper media displayed their anger toward China in the form of a full page coverage to blame China’s leader Xi Jinping, asking China to stop fake news.
COVID-19 has recently broken out in the world, and the number of confirmed cases has grown from 500,000 to 1 million in just 8 days. The severe pandemic has made many countries in need of medical supplies. China, as the origin country of the spread, starts to have some control over the situation. Seeing other countries are now suffering from the virus, she has begun to donate materials for global propaganda. However, it creates negative impacts as the quality of the materials provided to various countries has been quite poor.
In addition to this, China has also continued to make noises accusing that the virus was brought into China by the US military. It even insinuated that the Italian epidemic broke out earlier than China. It wanted to "destigmatize" itself, which upset many countries.
On Mar 30, The Swedish media "Dagens industri", using the headline "Kinas desinformation ett bevis pa angslighet" (Misinformation from China are causing anxiety), published a full-page report accusing China of citing the speeches of scholars and experts from other countries out of context to minimize responsibility. They are also angry at China's attempts to control public opinion. For this reason they even combining Xi Jinping's photos with the virus, spoofing the appearance of "Xi Jinping virus" and condemned the CCP.

Chinese manufacturer threatened to sell fake infrared thermometers to harm the Americans but later apologised for it's “patriotic act”
(30 Mar) The quality of the Chinese made medical supplies are in great doubt. Days ago, some Chinese manufacturers claimed to manufacture fake infrared thermometers and sell them to the United States, so the Americans cannot test their temperate accurately. The manufacturer said that they did it out of “patriotism”. Researchers found that in the last few months, the Chinese government has stirred up many public opinions, and nationalism has become part of the preventive measures. Some mainland Chinese residents said that many businessmen cashed in on the pandemic and made huge amount of money during the suffering of the nation. They took advantage of the epidemic, and that many medical supplies are fake with bad qualities.
//Many countries have found quality issues in the medical supplies from China.
//Through shifting the blame or speaking about nationalism, it resolves some pressure for the authority. “
I believe the authority pushes theses nationalistic thoughts among citizens, and it actually boosted the world’s distrust and suspicion on China. The “made in China” tag, the sincerity of donating face masks, etc, all these diplomatic moves have casted doubts on China's purposes.
//there are many other medical supplies without any certifications.

The Chinese Government has FOOLED you!
Youtuber SerpentZA recounts some of his friends' experiences dealing with the recently intensified racism in China. State-endorsed discrimination comes in the form of segregation on flights reminiscent of Rosa Parks, being called an "American virus", evicting Africans from apartments and forcing them to leave the country on short notice, among other examples.
When China first realised that the epidemic was a crisis, the government put Wuhan on lockdown but allowed departing international flights. It "didn't care that the virus… spread to your country", only that it did not spread within its borders.
At the same time, "China banned the export of masks and vital medical supplies". Foreign products manufactured in China were hoarded locally. The government also “ordered all state-linked companies abroad to… liberate” them from foreign countries.
He calls attention to China's attempt to save face, "the appearance that something is more important than its substance [by] spending immense amounts of money and state resources on soft power". The state-run media talks about racism and xenophobia against Chinese and Asians overseas to divert attention away from the "very real racist policies" within. "If you have ever… looked at China in a positive light… it means that their manipulative ways have worked on you."
"This is only the tip of the iceberg. China does not have this thing under control."

Russia, China and the European Union vie in Serbia
As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads, rival powers are deploying soft power and aid to advance their own foreign policy goals in Belgrade, major players are looking to use soft power and aid to fulfil their foreign policy goals.
//First, the Chinese came to Belgrade, with planeloads of equipment and six medical experts to help coordinate national coronavirus policy. An emotional Serbian president kissed the Chinese flag in gratitude and slammed Europe for its lack of assistance; For China, it is changing the narrative to present the country as the solution to COVID-19, not its cause.//
//For Russia, it is using more modest resources for maximum effect, with Russian military vehicles driving through Italy or a planeload of equipment dispatched to the US partly produced by a sanctioned company.//
//For the EU, it is trying to prove that talk of European values and solidarity is not just empty words.//
//The Americans, focused internally under US President Donald Trump’s administration, have largely been absent from the COVID-19 diplomacy game.//
// Serbian officials said the Chinese experts, who have remained in the country, are now running the government’s coronavirus policy. Serbia is following the Chinese model of isolating even mild cases of COVID-19 in large field hospitals, rather than trusting people to self-isolate.//
//A survey carried out in December last year showed that many Serbs believed Russia or China to be the country’s largest donor over the past two decades, while in fact the EU had given about 100 times more than either.//

Reflections from the virus crisis: Should the world take "cost" as the sole consideration for manufacturing?
(7 Apr) Many country relies heavily on manufacturing in China. When a crisis arises, huge demand of products is created. Country with enormous manufacturing capability has the power to make decisions.
Crisis creates opportunity. I believe that after this time, the world will hold a different view!
After the Netherlands and Spain, the medical-grade masks shipped by Austrian Airlines at the end of March are completely unusable.
After a review, the Ministry of Economic Affairs stated that the masks provided to South Tyrolean did not meet FFP standards. At present, the Austrian army has taken over the logistics of these masks.
Following the criticisms of the Netherlands and Spain on the poor quality of the protective equipment produced in China, South Tyrolean is also experiencing the same situation. The Ministry of Economy confirmed in Vienna that the large number of FFP2 and FFP3 masks that will be shipped to South Tyrolean are not usable. Initially, these masks were ordered from China through a sporting goods company and shipped by a private plane of Austrian Airlines.
In addition to the masks, 400,000 sets of protective clothing were transported to the Vienna International Airport. When the Red Cross carried out a visual inspection of masks at the airport, they were shocked. Later when the Ministry of Economy sent the items to the German laboratory for examination, the results showed that they did not meet the FFP standards.
Austrian Minister of Economy Margarete Schramböck (ÖVP) also criticized publicly at a press conference that nine out of ten medical masks provided by international suppliers were unusable. Fortunately, a consortium of Vorarlberger has invested in the manufacture of masks. If there are enough tailors, they will be able to produce 500,000 masks per day. This is not an unachievable target. Up to now, there are 1,700 tailors. You just have to find 700 more.

Making abnormal profits in the Pandemic: CCP makes big money from selling ventilators 1/2
(9 Apr) The share price of Shenzhen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics Co. Ltd. has skyrocketed by 50%. To increase profits, it used pro-Beijing media to advocate that the global demand of ventilators is reaching a million. New York State, alone, needs 60,000 units. By exaggerating demand, the company seeks to create the illusion of supply shortage to justify price inflation. How does the CCP play a part in mercantile predation? The Foreign Minister of the PRC Wang Yi called the Foreign Minister of Switzerland, requesting that the latter increase its supply of critical spare parts for manufacture of ventilators in China. The conversation exposed how the CCP cannot make the qualified spare parts themselves. However, the CCP can manipulate the trading of ventilators. Switzerland sells the essential spare parts to China at a cost demanded by the CCP on "humanitarian" basis. However, the predicament is it will effectively facilitate the CCP in making abnormal profits.
News has been surfacing around the world of the CCP soliciting the sale of medical supplies at high prices while holding out and being 'the white knight' to other countries in the pandemic crisis.
