Senior Trump Admin Official Says China Strangleholds Italy Into Buying Own Donations
CHINA STRANGLEHOLDS ITALY – Previously, China proudly announced they would be donating desperately-needed medical equipment to Italy.
Italy had donated tons of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to China in the early days of the virus. However, it seemed like China allegedly had other intentions according to a Senior Trump Admin Official.
Based on a report from Fox News, Beijing allegedly took advantage of Italy’s generosity. As such, China forced Italy to buy the same medical equipment and PPEs they donated to China before.
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.
Likewise, international bodies had also criticized China for its sketchy tactics. Previously, Spain bought around 640,000 test kits from China. However, the test kits were defective.
As per the report, the Netherlands also turned down China-made COVID-19 testing kits and protective gear. The country said that these equipment were “substandard”. Additionally, they questioned the quality of supplies China is selling worldwide.
Furthermore, officials from around the globe lambasted China for their lack of transparency regarding the virus. As such, United States Vice President Mike Pence Stated:
There’s simply no question that China’s lack of candor to the world impacted the way the world was able to respond
Both China and the World Health Organization (WHO) downplayed the scale of the virus during its early days. Because of this disinformation, countries were left grossly unprepared.
We were a month behind because the Chinese did not share information. It’s hard for the world to accept that even the information that they’re putting out now is accurate and acceptable from an epidemiological standpoint
