the reason they are the major producer and supplier of ppe is because they use low wage [slave] labor to produce products cheaper than anyone else ! how were they able to achieve this advantage ? the answer is in the 90s a democrat ignored their brutal human rights violations and welcomed them into the wto and gave them favored nation trading status ! thats right a democrat by the name of clinton ! china got a big return for the money they illegally gave the dnc in the campaign finance scandal !
