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.

Germany received 11 million defective or failed Chinese face masks

//the masks that arrived from China turned out to be “rubbish”, according to the German newspaper Der Spiegel... the chinstrap arrived with the filters in poor condition and with the broken tapes. “All Trash,” the source told the over 11 million masks.

//Germany thus joins the long list of scams. Yesterday, the Canadian Department of Health revealed that one million KN95 masks purchased from China were found to be defective. They do not meet federal quality standards for use against coronavirus, and therefore were not distributed among healthcare personnel.

//Since March 1, the Asian giant has exported to 3.8 countries of 3,860 million masks, 37.5 million protective suits, 16,000 respirators and 2.84 million diagnostic kits.

//However, almost two months later, complaints from different countries about the quality of products grow.
Holland is another country that integrates that list. On March 28, he denounced that 600,000 masks did not meet quality standards.
