China Has Become The Largest Producer And Exporter Of Anti Epidemic Products Such As Masks And Protective Clothing.

China has become the largest producer and exporter of anti epidemic products such as masks and protective clothing, thanks to the effective control of the local new crown pneumonia outbreak and the significant increase in its previous capacity. In addition to China, according to the public report, according to the Global Times reporter, there are not many countries or regions that continue to export medical supplies.

The US New York Times recently reported that the daily output of China's masks was 10 million in early February, and only 116 million after four weeks. According to the General Administration of Customs of China, from March 1st to April 4th, there were about 3 billion 860 million mask masks, 37 million 520 thousand protective clothing, 2 million 410 thousand infrared thermometers, 16 thousand respirators, 2 million 840 thousand coronavirus reagents, and 8 million 410 thousand goggles. The head of the foreign trade division of the Ministry of commerce also revealed that as of April 4th, 54 countries (regions), 3 international organizations and Chinese enterprises have signed the commercial procurement contract for medical materials, and 74 countries and 10 international organizations are negotiating with Chinese enterprises for commercial procurement.

Contrary to China's opening up of medical materials for export, more and more countries are restricting the export of respirators and respirators. The report of the global trade early warning group of St Gallen University of Switzerland released in late March said that 75 countries and regions had imposed export restrictions on medical supplies. Against this background, there are not many countries or regions that export medical supplies. According to media reports, the US 3M company recently exported masks to Canada and Latin American countries, and New Zealand also sent planes to Taiwan to carry medical supplies. In addition, South Korea, Singapore and other countries also have some masks, test kits and other exports.

Lin, 22, director of a medical product manufacturer in Zhejiang, told the Global Times reporter that the share of China's export masks and protective clothing in the world is on the rise, and the export volume of individual products such as ventilators is increasing. "Many multinational companies only attach foreign trademarks to medical supplies, but actual production is still in China". According to the current demand and supply situation in the international market, Lin said that China is the absolute main force in the export of medical materials.
