Today, there is a video circulating in several WeChat groups. In this video, there are no passengers on a passenger plane taking off from Australia, and all the seats are neatly stuffed with masks, protective clothing and other materials to counter the continued use of COVID-19.
The voice-over explained that this is the passenger plane of the Australian Chinese newspaper. All China people put all kinds of epidemic prevention materials collected on the plane, and they will not return home, but the materials for saving China compatriots must return home.
I found that collecting medical insurance information and sending it back to China has become a common choice for overseas Chinese in China.
In order to buy masks, many overseas Chinese spontaneously joined the buying army of masks, and even saw that all pharmacies were crowded with China people. They all hope to buy more epidemic prevention supplies and save the lives of several China compatriots.
According to the European Times, in recent days, China people queued in front of Austrian pharmacies just to buy masks.
On February 2nd, Wu Bin and his girlfriend traveled in Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Medan for five days, and brought back 20,000 masks and 200 goggles to Wuhan for free. At that time, Wu Bin directly docked with Wuhan No.9 Hospital and immediately got the mask from the local Chinese boss. Send it directly to the airport, then take it on the plane and return to China together according to the maximum baggage weight of the plane 14 boxes.
At that time, Indonesian flights were grounded, and Wu Bin transited everywhere, flying five times and passing through customs three times. With the help of friends from China along the way, masks and goggles were finally sent to the front line of Wuhan to fight the epidemic.
On the afternoon of February 5th, the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, the Asian American Association and the US-China General Chamber of Commerce donated 230,000 Caidian masks. These 23 masks were acquired by three Chinese communities in the United States. They gathered a lot of Chinese in two big cities, new york and New Jersey, to collect money from the Chinese and sweep the goods from one pharmacy to another.
With the active mobilization of the foreign affairs department, overseas Chinese in Hainan also took action to buy masks in Thailand, Japan, Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, the United States and other countries. Eventually, about 300,000 masks were shipped back to China. Among them, Malaysian Qiong entrepreneur Ding sent back 30,000 masks, Australian Qiong entrepreneur Ji and Cai Shuangfei sent back 50,000 masks, and Thai Chinese entrepreneur Li Linghai will also purchase 70,000 to 6.5438+10,000 masks.
Some friends want to ask, foreigners also have epidemic prevention needs, and foreigners also need masks. Will overseas Chinese buy masks on such a large scale and transport them back to China be opposed or even obstructed by local people?
I don't think so, because masks are fast-moving products, which is not too difficult for manufacturers. Although masks in Australia, the United States, Europe and other places are largely made in China, Chinese people in China now spend a lot of money to buy masks everywhere, which is a good opportunity for them to "return to manufacturing".
Ordinary medical masks are extremely simple to make, with two layers of non-woven fabrics and one layer of fibers produced by petrochemical industry. If it weren't for the epidemic, most mask manufacturers in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River would not be able to import raw materials and concentrate their workers on starting work. With the capacity of China World Factory, it is nothing to produce 654.38 billion masks a day.
The strength of a country depends largely on the cohesion of its people. Fighting the COVID-19 epidemic has shown the world the strength of China people's unity. In the past, the argument that "China people are not United" was deliberately fabricated by others, which naturally broke down.
The epidemic will always pass, and the spirit of unity of the Chinese nation will last forever!
