You are just too full of ignorant. Let me educate you if you don't know. You can as well make Google your friend. America and France produce better face mask in millions but not now their countries are lockdown, who will be producing it, is it spirits? As a results had to depend on another country for essential goods not just face mask. This is the time other countries have the opportunity to make money from the bigger and most powerful nations. Let me educate you the more, and this one will definitely blow off your mind. When china was in a lockdown, they purchase their face mask from Thailand. Not just face mask but other essential goods. Oya go to Google and educate yourself properly. And pls, stop trying to ridicule this countries, they will still come out over victorious than you. Do you know how many challenges this nations have pass through over the years and are still stronger? from earthquake, to plaques, to wars, to enemies invasions, terrorism attacks, etc and they are still stronger

Let me also add this, I don't have anything against China o, but this your China your are making mouth with, do you know they are still developing country?

You are getting many things wrong....

1. US is a democracy, China is not and it’s more like dictatorship, the way they rule and dominate their citizens.

2. The US was late, because the US President first down played the pandemic and even called it a hoax...it does not mean the underlying US system is faulty, it is the beauty of democracy.

3. Every US response today, is centered around the way the current US President and his administration is handling the crises. He is showing his incompetence and he does not have capable hands to help him, because he demand absolute loyalty and most professionals want to do their jobs without licking asses...this is also the beauty of democracy and you might say it’s weakness.

4. At the start of the pandemic in China US donated tones of masks and gears to them, there is nothing wrong in US buying from China.

5. US & France manufacture their own supplies, which are of a better quality, but it is far cheaper to manufacture them in China, it is just the economy thing to do. China don’t have the advantage simply because they manufacture these stuff. Nigeria produces crude oil in abundance, I don’t know if you can tell me it’s benefits to a single Nigerian citizen in the delta region, in fact the crude are now sitting in the high sea begging for buyers....everyday is not Christmas and don’t think that the level of enjoyment you had on Christmas Day will last all year.

Chinesse citizens were treated like objects, beaten, locked in with padlocks, chained, roads blocked. The government took their privacy and replaced it with wechat, each citizen was color coded green, yellow and red with no freedom or say with huge restrictions and central government controls...you can’t do those in a democracy and those measures are not sustainable, they don’t make a great empire...otherwise the Roman Empire would not have fallen and North Korea would have been ruling the world today.

Democracy as practiced in US, France, etc have their weakness as you are seeing now, but they are the best institutions and last longer.

LaIabobo:


But this report from NewYork Times also says US is getting supplies from China

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/29/business/economy/coronavirus-china-supplies.html

CanadaPR:
It's good to do some personal research.

3M is an American company with industries in different countries including China. This company is the major manufacturer of N95 masks in the world (N95 masks are the standard masks for frontline workers and are different from the regular surgical masks made in ABA).

US wants 3M to supply all the masks it manufactures to only US....... Trump believes 3M is an American company and should put America first which is quite selfish knowing that other countries are going through tough times too.

Trump even said that 3M shouldn't supply Canada and it's causing some issues....

It is not disgusting.
It is capitalism and comparative advantage at work.
A made in US or France Nose mask will be too expensive, that is why everyone is buying from China.

Jumlek2411:
It's disgusting to learnt countries like US and France are having issue on Nose mask, can they be producing that themselves? With their status in d world.
Thank God Nigeria is now producing it now in Aba.
China will continue to ride d world.

I thought those masks are fake or infected according to ignorant Nairaland experts
who bought into anti-Chinese propaganda?

Dottore:

You can call China underdeveloped or anything to showcase your hatred for them and suit your undying passion and support for the US but remember they are the second largest economy with a lot of other commendable encomiums and largest in lots of other performance appraisal indexes.
They are the nightmare of US and the entire European countries. Hard fact.

Keep drinking Chinese cool aid. May be you do not know the producers are actually Americans.

Go to the Airport next week to welcome the Chinese experts they are sending to you.

OROSUNBOLB:


Fact is that the Chinese are gradually taking over the world economy and it looks like there is little or nothing the likes of U S can do about it. Before now,the saying was that the Chinese products were fake/inferior goods and but nowadays everybody is going for these same Chinese products.

The question is what makes these Chinese products so affordable ? The simple answer is that they are cheap. The Chinese seem to be having comparative advantage in almost all aspects now- goods and services !

There is ongoing economic "war' between US and China, and the U S seems to be losing it ! Some of us have our sentiments; we love the United States but the reality is that China is gradually taking over.

Fuckgovt:


How sure are we that it's not the infected masked that has hyped the USA cases.
The contaminated mask is not nairaland propaganda. Open the links.

Trump is a fool who took a knife to a gunfight.
Many administrations before him saw what China is and are clandestinely waging a silent
economic long-time war while protecting themselves in the short time.

But Trump in his garrulous manner openly declare a war when he should be more worried
about presiding over the largest public debt in America's history.
To make matters worse, he fought all US allies

The ship has sailed. Even if China were to disappear today, the manufacturing base of the world will still be in Asia
as no European nor American company can compete in manpower or price-wise.

The only way to curtail China is to create new oceans of technology but unfortunately, conspiracy theories
have gained prominence due to myopic western leaders support which means whichever new technology that
is aimed to be a game changer will be marred with so much controversy that it may never rise.
This is easy because it appears that the population of gullible folks is increasing in every country.

They forgot that conspiracy theories are a double-edged sword.
In fact, this pandemic may have created an untamable monster.

You can term China a dictatorial country or anything to showcase your hatred for them and suit your undying passion and support for the US but remember they are the second largest economy with a lot of other commendable encomiums and largest in lots of other performance appraisal indexes.
They are the nightmare of US and the entire European countries. Hard fact. Whatever they did and however they achieved their current admirable giant status is worth it.
Pls don't talk about quality of anything. China gives you what you pay for. If you have been to the US and most Schengen Countries, you'd find out that "Made in China" is dominating 90 percent of consumer supplies.

Simple question. Pls who amongst the two countries handled Corona Virus better between China and US? Just mention the name of the country without Grammer. Thanks
