rush to the rescue
In the face of the epidemic, human beings are a community of shared destiny. With the global spread of COVID-19 epidemic, masks, detection reagents, protective clothing and ventilators have become strategic materials for epidemic prevention. At the critical stage of the global epidemic prevention campaign, China extended a helping hand to many countries.
The epidemic has spread to more than 200 countries and regions, and the life safety and health of people around the world have been greatly threatened. On the premise of continuing to do a good job in the prevention and control of epidemic situation in China, China has done its utmost to provide support and help to the international community.
The virus has no national boundaries, and the epidemic situation does not distinguish between races. Chairman of the Supreme Leader and Premier Li Keqiang have repeatedly stated that the China government has always been open, transparent and responsible, sharing its experience in prevention and treatment with the World Health Organization and the international community without reservation, and actively carrying out international cooperation against the epidemic. At the same time, it provides assistance to the international community in fighting the epidemic, and provides convenience and quality assurance for foreign commercial procurement of epidemic prevention materials.
Know each other far and near, Wan Li is still a neighbor. "Made in China" went to sea to help the global epidemic prevention and control.
In terms of aid targets, it includes countries with serious epidemic situation, countries with weak public health systems and epidemic prevention capabilities, and international organizations such as the European Union, the African Union and ASEAN.
In terms of geographical distribution, emergency assistance was provided to 30 Asian countries, 22 European countries, 53 African countries, 24 American countries and 10 South Pacific countries.
In terms of assistance methods, there are medical materials such as testing reagents, masks, protective clothing, goggles and ventilators, as well as medical technical assistance such as sending expert groups.
Behind the numbers, it represents the weight of China’s commitment. Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Di Mayo said recently that since the outbreak, Italy has obtained about 30 million masks from overseas, of which 22 million were from China. At present, it has signed a contract with enterprises in China to buy 180 million masks at the market price.
On March 28th, the official website of Airbus updated a set of pictures, and announced the scene of mask unloading of the aerial tanker A330MRTT from China to Europe.
In the face of the epidemic, China manufacturing ran out of the speed of China, showing great vitality. As of April 20th, China has provided more than 2.46 billion masks to the United States, which means that every American can get seven masks. According to the People’s Daily, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying tweeted on April 23rd that China has also provided nearly 5,000 ventilators and many other equipment to the United States, "hoping that this will save more lives".
To solve the shortage of masks in France, the French Ministry of Health ordered a total of 1 billion masks from China. An "air bridge" was set up between France and China, and the delivery was completed through 56 round trips. During the peak period, there were 4 flights per week to deliver masks.
Almost every day since the outbreak of the epidemic for more than 20 days, a Canadian plane has returned millions of medical supplies from China. On May 7, local time, when answering a reporter’s question, Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau said that in the next few weeks, Canada will continue to purchase medical supplies in China and provide them to front-line medical staff.
The epidemic has made the whole world know about China masks, and also learned that they are made in China. The rising power of China has won the respect of the world for China manufacturing.
thank
Although China is experiencing a special epidemic test, it has not stopped overseas consumers’ enthusiasm for Made in China.
"Thank you, China!" This sentence has frequently appeared on Russian social networks recently. China’s medical experts rushed to the front line of COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control in Russia, exchanged and interacted with Russian experts, and actively assisted Russia in fighting the epidemic.
Sobyanin, mayor of Moscow, said in a meeting with China’s anti-epidemic medical expert group on April 13th that during this difficult period, China sent medicines, personal protective equipment and medical equipment to Russia, and the assistance provided was "priceless".
A Spanish user wrote on Twitter: "I saw someone say that the AliExpress package will carry coronavirus, but I still placed six orders."
A Polish consumer exposed 50 masks he bought at AliExpress: "Thank you for such quick logistics!"
"Maybe you are not the only best, but you are the best in my life." An Italian netizen noticed such a detail — — Tens of thousands of masks donated by Xiaomi, a China science and technology company, to the Italian government. On the outer packaging boxes of donated materials, Xiaomi affixed the flags of China and Italy, and wrote the famous words of Seneca, an ancient Roman philosopher, in Italian and English: "We are the waves of the same sea, the leaves of the same tree, and the flowers in the same garden". The netizen said: "I was moved to tears. Thank you, China. "
All are sentient beings. A "thank you" expresses strong support and trust for "Made in China".
China has the most complete manufacturing system in the world. Among the more than 500 major industrial products announced by the United Nations, the output of more than 220 products ranks first in the world, and it is the center of many manufacturing global supply chains.
At the same time, China has the most complete industrial chain and supply chain, is the largest trading partner of more than 120 countries and regions, and the import and export volume of goods ranks first in the world. For example, China is the world’s largest producer and exporter of masks, accounting for about half of the world’s annual output and 1/5 of the world’s ventilator production capacity. Up to now, China has provided anti-epidemic materials including masks, kits and protective clothing to 130 countries and 4 international organizations.
"People are not far from the road, and people have no foreign countries." "The green hills are together, and the wind and rain are shared." "When you are cold and cypress, you will never forget each other." Behind these well-known poems, it tells the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. It is a special period of mutual help and shoulder to shoulder with the wind and rain. It is the world feeling of "helping each other with one heart and one sea", and it is a vivid embodiment of China’s adherence to the correct concept of justice and benefit and the practice of the concept of community of human destiny.

"I have meltblown cloth, who has a mask machine?"
"Received ‘ Health package ’ Yes, the mask is made by BYD, and there are disinfection paper towels. " Xuan Xuan, a freshman studying in Canada, said while reporting her parents’ safety.
Like Xuan Xuan, many overseas students have touched a familiar China brand — — Byd.
Yes, that’s the car brand — — Byd.
According to statistics, BYD masks have entered more than 50 countries and regions, such as Britain, Italy, Belgium, Canada, Germany and Iceland, along with the "health package" of China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and provided urgent medical protection for local China citizens.
transboundary
BYD, which came across the border from the automobile field, has developed into the world’s largest mask manufacturer in just a few decades. According to BYD’s official introduction, as of April 17th, its daily output of masks has reached 20 million, which means that 231 masks are rolled off BYD’s mask production line every second.
The aid of epidemic prevention materials has gathered more than 3,000 engineers from BYD from new energy vehicles, batteries, electronics and rail transit, and other employees who stayed in Shenzhen during the Spring Festival. In less than 30 days, BYD has built 100 mask production lines.
BYD, which was originally "out of bounds" with the medical field, changed its production of masks across the border so vigorously.
It is reported that at the moment when masks were in the most shortage, BYD made a "hard core" decision: if you can’t buy mask production equipment, make it yourself! 3 days to complete the mask machine design drawings, 7 days to complete the equipment research and development. "A mask machine production line needs about 1,300 parts for various gears, chains, rollers and rollers, 90% of which are made by BYD." Li Wei, director of BYD President’s Office, introduced.
BYD is not the only car company that switched to masks. During the epidemic, SAIC-Wuling, Guangzhou Automobile Group and other car companies produced their own brands of masks.
From buying masks, to making masks by ourselves, to making mask machines, and then to delivering intelligent mobile temperature measuring vehicles, the whole process of SAIC-Wuling took only 15 days.
Guangzhou Automobile said, "I can’t, but I will learn." The workers studied for 15 days, and the first batch of masks rolled off the assembly line.
Shaanxi Automobile, which produces heavy trucks, began to build goggles.
Sinopec, one of the oil giants, quickly began to produce raw materials necessary for medical equipment and began to produce masks with its partners.
"Plane mask machine, N95 mask machine and layering machine are all equipped!" On March 2nd, China Shipping Group Co., Ltd. was domineering "official announcement". It echoes from a distance with "I have meltblown cloth, who has a mask machine" shouted by Sinopec in Weibo earlier.
(Mask machine produced by China Shipping Group)
On April 30, Sinopec announced that up to now, Sinopec has successfully put into production 12 melt-blown cloth production lines with a daily production capacity of 24 tons.
This is the result of 65 days and nights of continuous fighting. Starting from scratch+cross-border, Sinopec has produced 132.5 tons of high-quality meltblown cloth so far, and the product quality has reached KN95 mask standard, which can help increase the production of 132.5 million medical masks.
anti-epidemic
Since the outbreak of the epidemic in COVID-19, the demand for relevant epidemic prevention materials has surged. Under the mask gap, thousands of enterprises, as the main participants in the market, have joined the mask manufacturing army by starting machines and equipment.
China is a big producer of masks, accounting for about 50% of the world’s annual output. Before the outbreak, the maximum daily production capacity of masks in China was more than 20 million. However, with the bottleneck of production capacity being broken and the short board being filled, the daily production capacity of masks in China is increasing rapidly.
In addition to ensuring domestic supply, China’s mask manufacturers also accept more and more overseas orders. These masks made in China have built a series of powerful "shields" for the global fight against the COVID-19 epidemic with "China speed", "China quality" and "China technology".
On March 28th, special trucks loaded with epidemic prevention materials started from Sanyi Industrial Park in Changsha, Hunan. The car is loaded with 1 million masks donated by Sany Group to 34 countries including India, Germany and Italy. This is the fourth batch of large-scale overseas donations from Sany Group.
(The materials donated by Sany started from Changsha Industrial Park)
On the same day, Hodo Group Co.,Ltd. announced that it would donate 1 million masks to Cambodia. At the donation site, tens of thousands of boxed masks were built into a wall, and the national flags of China and Cambodia were printed on the cartons, and the words "One Belt, One Road, Mutual Assistance, China and Cambodia are United" were written in Chinese and Cambodian characters.
On April 15th, a recent photo of Warren Buffett wearing a BYD mask flowed out of overseas social platforms. The photo text showed: "I intend to live forever, and my BYD mask is helping me achieve this goal!"
Analysts said that China, as the largest producer of masks and other epidemic prevention materials, seeking support from China’s partners has become a key link for international enterprises to build their anti-epidemic ability.
output
Under the epidemic situation, it has become a broad consensus that the whole world should join hands to build a community of human destiny. At the same time, technology giants have also extended a helping hand to the world, supporting epidemic prevention and control with the help of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data and cloud computing.
As a representative of China’s scientific and technological enterprises, Alibaba took the lead in launching the "Global COVID-19 Combat Sharing Platform" at Alibaba Cloud International Station by using the Internet, big data and other means, combining the strength of medical institutions, doctors and public health professionals to help the global war "epidemic".
On the morning of April 21st, Ma Yun updated his personal Weibo and announced that Ma Yun Public Welfare Foundation and Alibaba Public Welfare Foundation had donated a batch of emergency anti-epidemic materials to WHO, including 100 million medical masks, 1 million N95 masks and 1 million nucleic acid detection kits to support WHO’s anti-epidemic work around the world.
The Financial Times wrote on April 28th that in the past few weeks since the epidemic, Alibaba has become a bridge between the manufacturing in China and the global demand for epidemic prevention materials, and made joint efforts to fight the global epidemic.
After the COVID-19 outbreak, AliExpress, a cross-border retail platform owned by Alibaba, experienced some overseas consumers’ fear of the virus, just like other cross-border e-commerce platforms, but more consumers expressed their concern for China merchants and their love and dependence on China goods.
Relevant data show that AliExpress’s traffic in Spain and Italy increased by 20% and 14% year-on-year during the epidemic. The compliant products sold on this platform range from masks and hand sanitizers to various sanitary products.
Following Alibaba Cloud and Huawei’s cloud open source AI medical technology and application for anti-epidemic, Tencent also announced that it would open source "COVID-19 AI self-examination assistant" to the whole world. This artificial intelligence service can help people self-examine the risk of COVID-19 infection and give preventive guidelines. This is another anti-epidemic technology that Tencent exported to the world after the epidemic module that provided 6 billion query services for Chinese people was opened on March 27th.
On April 3, Tencent announced that it had deepened cooperation with WHO, donated $10 million to WHO’s COVID-19 Solidarity Emergency Fund, and reached an agreement to jointly promote digital medical solutions to help fight the global epidemic.
This global anti-epidemic is a test of the speed and quality of China manufacturing. As a big manufacturing country, in the process of fighting the epidemic, China enterprises have shown strong adaptability, and a large number of enterprises have provided the most powerful support for the global fight against the epidemic, once again proving to the world China’s ability as a "world factory".
The Canadian Globe and Mail pointed out that China has the largest manufacturing industry in the world, with a rapidly expanding production capacity of medical equipment, and manufactured the world’s needed goods at a record speed.
03 supervision articles
Strengthening the quality supervision of epidemic prevention materials export is China’s initiative.
There are always some extraordinary events that mark the memory of an era. And April 2020 is destined to be a month worth remembering.
On April 26th, the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference on "Strengthening the Supervision of Medical Material Export Quality". Since the announcement No.5 of 2020 was issued by the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of Customs and National Medical Products Administration on March 31, the new announcement No.12 was issued by the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of Customs and the General Administration of Market Supervision on April 25.
On April 26th, the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference on "Strengthening the Supervision of Medical Material Export Quality".
In less than a month, it is rare in history for many departments to intensively supervise the export quality of epidemic prevention materials.
Life is above everything else. The quality of epidemic prevention materials is directly related to the life safety and health of people all over the world, and to China’s national reputation and global epidemic prevention ability.
With the global spread of COVID-19 epidemic, epidemic prevention materials such as masks, protective clothing and ventilators have become "tight goods". China, which has made great achievements in epidemic prevention and control and is known as the "world factory", actively provides assistance to countries in need while preventing and controlling its own epidemic, and strictly controls the quality and safety of exported medical materials.
As the relevant person in charge of the Foreign Trade Department of the Ministry of Commerce said at the press conference on April 26th, life is a matter of life, and the quality and safety of epidemic prevention materials should not be sloppy.
Mankind is a community of destiny, and all countries are on the same battlefield to fight the epidemic. Behind the huge export volume is unrelenting quality supervision.
On March 31st, the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of Customs and National Medical Products Administration issued Announcement No.5, which clarified the export quality supervision measures for five types of medical and epidemic prevention materials, such as medical masks, and required that the export of related products must obtain the medical device product registration certificate approved by the drug supervision department.
On April 25th, the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of Customs and the General Administration of Market Supervision issued Announcement No.12, which further clarified the specific measures to strengthen the supervision of non-medical masks. One of the important measures was the "two lists and one statement".
Earlier, foreign media reported that some countries claimed that some medical materials such as masks purchased from China had "quality problems". In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce explained that after many investigations, it was found that the relevant reports did not objectively reflect the whole picture of the facts. The "quality problems" involved in the export of epidemic prevention materials are due to the different quality standards, different usage habits and even improper operation between China and foreign countries, which leads to the use of non-medical masks for medical purposes. In order to avoid similar problems, Announcement No.12 requires the exporter and importer to sign a joint statement to confirm that both parties accept the product quality standards, and the importer promises that the purchased non-medical masks will not be used for medical purposes.
"We hope that through this series of targeted measures, the quality of export epidemic prevention materials will be further improved and relevant quality risks will be prevented in advance." The person in charge said.
In fact, since the outbreak, the China Municipal Government has been taking measures to ensure the quality and safety of medical protection products. At the beginning of February this year, the General Administration of Market Supervision and other eight departments jointly launched a special campaign to crack down on the illegal production and sale of masks and other protective products, and selected 226 key mask manufacturers in 19 provinces to conduct supervision and spot checks in a "double random" manner.
In the middle and late April, the Ministry of Commerce sent a working group to 10 provinces and cities such as Guangdong to guide local governments to implement territorial responsibilities and strengthen quality supervision; Suspend or stop the export of epidemic prevention products from five enterprises in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, and relevant departments and local governments are conducting in-depth investigation and handling according to law.
At the same time, the Ministry of Public Security, the General Administration of Customs, the General Administration of Market Supervision, National Medical Products Administration and other law enforcement departments intensified their efforts to investigate and deal with illegal cases, and published a list of unqualified products and enterprises of non-medical masks investigated and dealt with in the domestic market.
On April 29th, the General Administration of Market Supervision, together with the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Commerce, held a teleconference to jointly deploy and carry out a special rectification campaign on the product quality and market order of epidemic prevention materials nationwide, highlighting all kinds of rectification, whole process rectification and all-round rectification, coordinating domestic and international markets, and ensuring the quality and safety of imported and exported epidemic prevention materials.
During the epidemic, the General Administration of Market Supervision also deployed nationwide price enforcement actions. According to the unified deployment and arrangement of the General Administration, local market supervision departments strengthened the investigation and handling of illegal acts such as price gouging, price collusion and price fraud. Up to now, 16,482 cases of price violations have been filed nationwide, and 12,192 cases have been punished.
For the export of epidemic prevention materials, customs is another pass for quality supervision. At the press conference on April 26th, the General Administration of Customs said that China Customs resolutely investigated and dealt with illegal acts such as false reports and concealment, passing the fake to the real, evading commodity inspection, and passing off unqualified products as qualified ones.
The General Administration of Customs has tightened the examination, strengthened supervision and improved the control of epidemic prevention materials to ensure the export quality.
In line with the initiative of being highly responsible for the lives and health of people in all countries, on the one hand, China tries to meet the increasing demand of the international community for epidemic prevention materials; On the other hand, we constantly strengthen quality control, standardize the export market order, provide qualified epidemic prevention materials to the international market, and actively support countries in fighting the epidemic.
At present, the channels for countries all over the world to purchase epidemic prevention materials in China are completely unblocked. As of May 6th, China Food and Drug Administration announced that there are 3,773 manufacturers who have obtained the registration certificate of medical device products in China. The Ministry of Commerce and the General Administration of Market Supervision instructed the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Medicines and Health Products to review, confirm and publish a list of 347 manufacturers who have obtained foreign standard certification or registration in six batches, including 279 manufacturers of medical materials (including medical masks) and 68 manufacturers of non-medical masks.
According to the data of the Ministry of Commerce, from March 1st to May 6th, China has exported epidemic prevention materials to 194 countries and regions through market procurement. According to the statistics of the General Administration of Customs, since April, the daily average export of epidemic prevention materials in China has increased from about 1 billion yuan in the early days to more than 3 billion yuan in the near future.
China has become an important producer of international anti-epidemic materials. In the global war "epidemic" that has lasted for several months, China Manufacturing has shown its strong resilience and vitality in dealing with complex and severe situations, and let the world see more clearly its ability and confidence in coping with risk challenges and helping the global war "epidemic".
