After telling the world that it would donate masks, face guards and testing equipment to Italy, China quietly backtracked and sold the Mediterranean country desperately-needed medical equipment, according to a report.

What's worse is that the personal protective equipment (PPE) China forced Italy to buy was actually the same PPE Italy donated to China before coronavirus rushed its own shores and killed nearly 16,000 people.

"Before the virus hit Europe, Italy sent tons of PPE to China to help China protect its own population. China then has sent Italian PPE back to Italy -- some of it, not even all of it ... and charged them for it,"

The world needs to get together and finish the Great Wall of China, all around that country. We can tell em it's to keep the huns out.

This truly might be a banner that can unite the world. (except for china)

The CCP initiated a massive PPE buying spree from late Jan to mid Feb....with the intent of hoarding and selling PPE.

Something like only 37% of tests Spain got from China were accurate. The rest were faulty.

If there's not a major change in how China interacts with the world after this...we've learned nothing.

Most shite made in China is shite. Why would medical supplies or medicines be any different?


China had best enjoy 2020. After this year all major countries will STOP relying on them as a trade partner for "Made in China" goods.

Does Samsung or LG make their phones in S Korea? I have been putting off getting a new iPhone, and after Apple’s crappy software releases this year I had already been weighing other options versus just continuing existing digital ecosystem at home and with immediate family as well as most friends & other family. Where something is manufactured is definitely going to play a bigger role for me over disrupting my digital ecosystem. Companies should start labeling things that are “Not Made in China”.
