China Denies Having Claimed French Nursing Home Let People Die of Wuhan Pneumonia

A statement was published on the website of China’s embassy to France, claiming that caregivers in French nursing homes had “collectively deserted, letting their residents dying from starvation and disease”.

China also expressed a wish for so-called "French parties" to dispel any misunderstanding, not specifying whether the comment was meant to address the French government, media outlets or politicians.

In a tweet issued on April 14, 2020, the Chinese embassy in Paris clarified that the incidents of patients being left to die after being abandoned by care workers occurred in Spain, not France.

After French foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian summoned China’s ambassador to France,
Beijing dismissed the incident as a "misunderstanding", with China's foreign ministry spokeperson Zhao Lijian saying "China has never issued negative comments on the way France has handled the epidemic."

French President shows that masks can look chic

Macron used the school visit as an opportunity to promote the use of cloth masks among the general public. The fashionable design of the mask he donned "mades mask-wearing an act of national pride", as the Associated Press suggests. The mask, embellished with the French Tricolour, is 100% made in France by the local manufacturer Chanteclair at a cost of less than 5 euros (HK $42).

While the reusable masks in Hong Kong are produced at a similar cost, the masks are described by citizens to "resemble underwear". It was further uncovered that the masks were produced without following the usual procurement rules and some technical descriptions were misleading and inaccurate.
