[Epoch Times April 07, 2020] (Epoch Times reporter Fang Xiao comprehensive report) The Chinese Communist pneumonia (Wuhan pneumonia) epidemic is raging around the world, and the number of infections has exceeded one million. Masks have become a basic epidemic prevention tool for people. Now the world” The masks exported from China have repeatedly been exposed to quality problems. The mainland mask agents have exposed many kinds of chaos in the production of masks, including factories without qualification certificates rushing to produce masks for huge profits, but 60% of the mask factories on the city surface There is no sterile workshop at all, questioning such a mask “Who dares to wear it on the face?” ”
A few days ago, the “Science and Technology Planet” affiliated to the mainland science and technology media published an interview with Chen Guohua (a pseudonym), a mask export broker. Chen Guohua revealed a variety of chaos in mainland mask production.
Chen Guohua said that the mask factories on the city’s surface are too messy. 60% of the factories do not have so-called aseptic workshops at all. Most factories just buy a mask machine and do it.
“I’ve been to a mask production workshop once, and I couldn’t see it at all. The workers in the workshop neither wear masks nor gloves, so they sort the masks by hand. Who dares to use such masks? Dare to wear it in uniform?” he said.
Chen Guohua revealed that now the factory qualification certificates are all bought with money, and some do not even need to be bought. The mask factories are linked to each other. This type of factory A has a category license, and factory B does not have anything. Then the masks produced in factory B are hung in factory A and the goods are sent through factory A.
No gloves, no work clothes, a pile of personal clothes everywhere, cardboard boxes lying around, this is the last layer of protection covering the mouth and nose, Wuhan pneumonia patients with asymptomatic infection, wearing a sweater, bare hands, you know he carries If you don’t wear the virus, it’s okay if you don’t wear it. It is a tragedy if you are shot. Buy it, N95. Be nice to yourself, not do it yourself. Cut the old mask tape and sew it on the towel. Don’t worry. Everyone is welcome to watch how crazy Twitter is. pic.twitter.com/HiBdYTC1ny
The Chinese Communist Party’s pneumonia epidemic broke out in Wuhan, Hubei, in early December last year. After that, it spread across the mainland, and there was a “mask shortage” in the mainland. According to the BBC Chinese website in February, in order to reduce the gap, the Chinese Communist government has begun to requisition private mask factories and encourage companies to switch to mask production.
Lu media “Sanyan Finance” quoted a data report from the commercial data website “Tianyancha” that from January 23 when Wuhan was closed to March 11, a total of 5,489 companies producing masks were registered in the mainland.
After the CCP government forced various places to resume work, the hottest production industry was “mask manufacturing.” According to data from the professional version of “Tianyan Check”, on March 22, there were 52,411 companies whose business scope included “masks and respiratory protection”. Among these 5 trillion enterprises, 17,013 have their business scope including import and export.
Chen Guohua said that I have been in a cross-border e-commerce business for more than ten years and have never been in contact with masks before. After the outbreak of the overseas epidemic, a large number of customers came to ask us if we could sell masks. This was the beginning of the mask export business.
He said that many domestic small mask factories are garment factories, and the machine factories are temporarily modified, and the related equipment and technology are not up to the standard.
“Originally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released the mask standard and announced that KN95 and other types of masks that meet Chinese standards can be used as substitutes for N95 masks. After knowing this news, we have been doing the KN95 mask business, basically It was on March 28 that the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) suddenly announced that masks that meet China’s production standards were useless.” He said.
Current mask manufacturers need to look for N95 masks that meet the US NIOSH (National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health) certification. In the past, Europe also allowed the import of civilian masks that meet Chinese standards, but it is no longer possible. Masks that meet the EAFFP series of standards must be used to enter Europe. Generally, the export standards for masks are getting higher and higher.
Recently, a video of a suspected employee of a mask factory in mainland China using a lot of masks to wipe his shoes went viral on social platforms at home and abroad, arousing public outrage.
Some Twitter netizens left a message saying that these people are perverted and are now in a global crisis! No wonder many countries return all defective protective equipment, virus test agents, etc.!
“If you don’t even implement basic hygiene standards, who would dare to use your products?” “It’s terrible!” “Whenever I want to buy anything made in China, I will remember this.” “No more “Made in China” products enter the country!” “Chinese manufacturing should be ended. The only thing they invented is disease.”
Outsiders believe that not only are masks made in China inferior, they are also contaminated by workers’ shoeshine during the production process. This is already a problem of business ethics. Make “Made in China” publicly hit face.

The CCP is trying to take the opportunity to launch “anti-epidemic diplomacy” and export medical supplies to many countries in Europe and Asia. However, Chinese-made supplies have been repeatedly questioned, and recently there have been waves of returns.
The Ministry of Health of the Netherlands issued a statement on March 28 that 1.3 million Chinese-made masks were received on March 21, marked “KN95″, the designated protection level reached EU FFP2, and the specifications were close to N95 masks, but after two tests, the masks were found Initially, the function of sticking to the face and filtering the virus was unqualified; the first batch of 600,000 masks have been allocated to hospitals in various places for medical care, and the authorities have ordered all of them to be recalled.
Someone at Catharina Hospital in the Netherlands pointed out that this batch of inferior masks is not a single case. “The surface of the city is not there yet.” The local medical staff weighed them. When they received the masks, they felt that they were inappropriate and could not fit properly. Therefore it is not used. There is a lot of’junk’, and some people use the current crisis to profit.”
In addition to masks, the rapid test reagents made in China are also fake products. The Philippines, Spain, the Czech Republic, Turkey, Malaysia and many other countries all pointed to the extremely high error rate of China’s rapid virus test reagents, with an accuracy rate of less than 40%.
On April 2, Australia again exposed the poor quality of masks and protective clothing imported from China, and the materials with a total market value of about $1.2 million could not be used to withstand the epidemic.
On April 6, the British “Times” reported that the millions of test kits ordered by the United Kingdom from China for CCP pneumonia were unqualified, and no mild or asymptomatic patients could be detected.
Only the latest data from the General Administration of Customs of the Communist Party of China on April 5 shows that since March 31, 11.205 million medical supplies produced by non-listed companies or without medical device product registration certificates have been seized, including 9.941 million masks and protective equipment. 155,000 sets of services, 1.085 million new coronavirus detection reagents, and 24,000 infrared thermometers.
