According to a local report in the Rheinische Post, German customs recently confiscated a batch of protective supplies from the European distribution center of the U.S.-based 3M Group in Jüchen (übing City), including high-grade masks and suits for medical use, laboratory use, and chemical production, as well as masks for civilian use, and suspected that the shipments were used for illegal export.
According to the German customs department, the inspection was related to current German restrictions on the export of medical protective equipment. The products were reportedly supposed to be exported to Switzerland and the United States. "What was detected were several truckloads intended for illegal export," the source said. According to the German federation, protective equipment can only be exported if a major need in Germany is met. This still applies even if the lack of protective equipment in other countries jeopardizes human life. This means that Germany confiscated masks that were supposed to be shipped to the United States.
It's worth noting that BWC Chinese mentioned in a March 14 exclusive original article titled "Germany Detains 240,000 Masks in Switzerland, Then Intercepts 830,000 Masks in Italy, Chinese Masks Become Hard Currency," that the economies of many Western countries appear to be in disarray, incapable of coping with the new coronavirus, and continue to harp on a variety of problems caused by the new coronavirus, which includes the phenomenon that Germany is withholding some of the country's masks.
The core logic behind this phenomenon is the "egoism" of Western economies, which we have emphasized many times. And through Germany again detained the masks shipped to the United States and Switzerland this phenomenon, more show that, at present, for the U.S. and European economies, inability to cope with the epidemic, under the chaotic situation, the "mask economy" has become a priority.
Even for the mask, through the above phenomenon can be found, many years of economic allies also began to tear without mercy. Obviously, Europe and the United States multi-national economy at this time has come to the situation of sweeping the snow in front of the door. Take the U.S. economy as an example, the U.S. economy, "egoism" phenomenon, we in the past four years can be described as commonplace. For example, it has abused the status of the US dollar to impose restrictions on a number of economies around the world, and it has often shirked its responsibilities in a variety of ways, which is a far cry from its image as the world's largest economy. And in the context of the new crown virus pandemic in the United States, the U.S. economy, "egoism" is more prominent.
For example, the U.S. saw that Europe had become the center of the epidemic at the time, in the absence of information, suddenly stopped the U.S.-European routes, when a number of member states of the European Union feel confused. And that included traditional allies of the U.S. economy such as Germany and France. It's easy to understand another layer to the German interdiction of U.S.-bound masks mentioned earlier in this article.
Not only that, but the U.S. economy has become even more irresponsible and unaccountable for its "egoism" in treating the majority of Americans with the new coronavirus. For example, according to media reports, the American Robin Frazier is 30 years old, suffering from fibromyalgia and autoimmune diseases, if infected with the new coronavirus will easily lead to complications. Her doctor told her to go to the hospital emergency room for a test, but the hospital told her that there were not enough kits to test her. But interestingly, Frazier saw some of America's celebrities, members of Congress and Wall Street elites getting tested, which she found very unfair claiming, "Why do they get to cut in line? And ordinary people like me get shoved to the end of the line. Why do members of Congress get kits but we don't?"
