An oldie but badie: China 'forces Italy to BUY back masks and coronavirus supplies it had DONATED to Beijing just weeks earlier'

[shockedcanadian]

As this damned virus continues to stick around and expand in some nations like India and Canada, I thought it might be a time to go back in history just over a year ago to this amazing story that speaks to the character of a nation.

China 'forces Italy to BUY medical supplies it had donated to Beijing'

China is making Italy buy masks and coronavirus supplies that it had donated to Beijing just weeks earlier, a White House source claims.

Xi Jinping's Communist state last month dispatched a plane full of medical supplies, including masks and respirators, to Italy as it became overwhelmed by COVID-19. Later reports suggested that the Chinese were selling rather than donating the kit.

But a senior Trump administration official has told The Spectator that Beijing has, in fact, forced Rome to buy back the very equipment it had donated to China at the height of the outbreak in Wuhan.

'Before the virus hit Europe, Italy sent tons of PPE (personal protective equipment) to China to help China protect its own population,' the official said. 'China then has sent Italian PPE back to Italy - some of it, not even all of it … and charged them for it.'

What's this stuff? "Made in Italy" junk dumped on China.

"Look, it says this belongs to you. Of course there is a delivery fee..."

Heck, China got a bunch from us, back when trump was touting their cooperation and handling, before our numbers were bad and before he started all the China virus stuff to rouse his base, giving them somebody to be mad at while he downplayed and mishandled it. I don't know if Donny bought any back or not.

Well, this is the OPINION of a Trump official.
